Jackie: A Tale of Perversity and Woe

So, Livejournal is still down. I don't think I'm going to re-new my paid account there in September, for a number of reasons, one of which being I really can't spare the money anymore. I just have the paid account for the icons and so I don't have to see the ads, but I'm not on LJ as much as I used to be so I don't really know what the point is.

I dunno. I guess I'll decide for sure when the time comes. (I'll probably re-new it, haha)

In other news, I am so hungry right now and I don't know why, since I had about a million cookies and cereal and chicken and fries and a piece of chocolate. IDEK.

WTF is going on with the comments pages? THEY LOOK TERRIBLE. The userpic is cutting into the text and it looks like crap.

In other news, still working on music video and got my bangs trimmed today. Yay.

WTF, Livejournal? What the hell is up with the userinfos? WHY YOU GOTTA BE CHANGIN' ALL THE TIME WAAAHH. Anyone know how to fix it?

In other news, I am a complete and total idiot. I had to drop off my film at Du Art Studios today, and I had the brilliant idea of WALKING all the way there and back, to save money. From 23rd to 55th. On the West side.

What a fucking mistake. I am NEVER doing that again. At least not in these shoes.

I had something else to say, but I forget what it was. Oh well.

WHY DO I KEEP READING STUPID SHIT.

It's like effing middle school over there.

Okay. I need to stop spending so much time on the Internet. I must find more valuable things to do with my time. Like... um...

Anyone got any suggestions?

The stuff going down at paire_love should TOTALLY BE ON FANDOM_WANK.

SOMEONE GET ON THAT.

(here and here)

Thank God this is all over. Mostly, anyway.

But...I still want 2000 userpics, dammit. Maybe I'll use both journals.

Well, everyone is completely freaking out because some vigilante conservative group has decided to target LJ. Communities with things like incest and under-age sex are being suspended left and right, because this group is reporting them all over the place. They mostly seem to be targeting the HP fandom, which sucks, because they get enough crap and abuse over there already.

What does this mean for the Heroes fandom? Probably not much. Everyone is taking precautions---deleting unsavory interests, f-locking all of the entries, stuff like that. The only faction of the Heroes fandom I'm worried about is the Petrellicest---Peter/Claire, Nathan/Peter, etc. Especially Peter/Claire, actually, because that ship has actually had some coverage in the media. But paire_love got rid of "trigger" interests and is in the process of f-locking the entries, so they're probably not going to get flagged. I have no idea what's going on with the Nathan/Peter communities, but they're probably taking precautions as well.

Slash is safe. LJ cannot do anything about the slash, no matter how many people complain about it. They can't delete or suspend any slash communities legally.

This is all perfectly ridiculous. I do not, of course, condone incest or sexual abuse in real life, but this is fiction. The thing that's really getting me mad is that they're doing this indiscriminately. A freaking Lolita community got suspended. It's Vladimir Nabokov, for God's sake! It's a classic novel! And what about survivor communities? Are those going to get suspended too?

I don't blame LJ for this. They're just trying to protect themselves. But if this group hadn't started reporting these comms, none of this would have happened.
