In which Logan rambles on so long everyone falls asleep
Hello! It's been quite some while since I posted here, so here I go again. Questions and comments are very welcome, including from people who have no interest in actually adding me. I'll mention that 90% of my journal is public, so you can get a pretty good idea of what it's like by reading my public entries.
Name: Logan. That's not my legal name, but it's the one I use a lot online. I am an English cis white man. If any of that's a dealbreaker for you, then pass along with my good wishes.
Age: Old enough to remember a world before the web, not old enough to remember a world before the microchip. I've been blogging on LJ and now DW for two decades.
I mostly post about: things and stuff. Perhaps yesterday I was posting about bacon sandwiches, today I might be discussing strikes in the public sector, tomorrow I might be posting a photo I'd taken recently, the day after that my thoughts on English cricket and the one after that a silly music video from one of my fandoms. I don't post about work (at all) and I very rarely touch on family matters. I do sometimes post about politics.
My hobbies are: motorsport, cricket, railways (especially steam trains), reading, writing fanfic, walking, taking photos, retrocomputing, eating crisps, probably other things that have slipped my mind.
My fandoms are: My Little Pony is the main one. Mostly G4, for which I have written a fair bit of fanfic, but not exclusively. I've recently had my enthusiasm for His Dark Materials recharged, and I'm about to start a chapter-by-chapter reread of the trilogy; it'll be blogged on my DW. My first fandom was Watership Down (hence my username and main icon here), and I still love it, especially the book (Pipkin is best rabbit). To a lesser extent, Miraculous Ladybug and Doctor Who.
I'm looking to meet people who: as Walter Kotschnig (and many others) said, keep an open mind but not so open that their brains fall out.
My posting schedule tends to be: Daily. Occasionally twice in a day, but sometimes I miss a day entirely. Actually back in my LJ days I'd often post four or five times a day. I feel I'd be kind of hogging people's Reading pages if I did that now, but if DW ever got much busier (which would be great!) then I'd consider going back to it.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: telling me who I should and shouldn't be friends with, "Trump won in 2020", sneering at people who provide their pronouns, anti-vaxxery (debate about mandates etc is fine, "it's a globalist WEF plot!" isn't) and the usual basic stuff like personal attacks and disrespect for locked posts.
Before adding me, you should know: I'm broadly a centre-left liberal, but I don't find Twitter-style political fundamentalism appealing; it's one reason I left Twitter. For example, I have no wish to impose a blanket ban on C/conservatives. I understand that some people are looking for safe spaces and if what I just said means you'd rather not add me, that's fine. But, with apologies for bluntness: you set the rules in your house. I set the rules in mine.
I'm not a dog person. I don't hate them, but if your journal is mostly about your prized pooch then we're unlikely to have very much in common.
I very rarely use content warnings -- not quite never, but don't expect it. I never post gory images anyway.
I encourage a no-pressure approach to adding and unadding. If you want to, just add me. Since my journal is overwhelmingly public, you can just hang around a bit without adding, too. In either case, if you feel we're not clicking, then simply quietly depart with my good wishes. :)

I've subscribed – I'm interested in public transport and UK politics as well as some of the other things you mention. My journal is mostly for fandom stuff and I barely post about the offline world at all, so subscribe back or not as you wish, I don't mind!

As I say to everyone, please feel absolutely no obligation to stick around any longer (or shorter) than you want to.
