Your identity: I'm a poly, kinky, queer, feminist lesbian. I'm out about all those things here, which is kind of cool. If any of them make you go "yuck," you may not want to subscribe to my DW. I'm also a human rights activist, a liberal, a socialist, a pacifist, a vegetarian, white, cis-gendered, Southern, 25 years old, tall, left-handed, and glasses wearing. What you are passionate about: Gender and sexuality. Feminism. Human rights. Intersectionality. Reading. Writing. Cooking. Baking. Academics. Independence. Yoga. Travel. Languages. Language. Organization. Ice cream. Snuggles. How you use Dreamwidth: I came here initially through some fandom friends who thought I might find the platform more user friendly than LJ (they were right). I then came to see DW as a great way to integrate my fannish and non-fannish personalities, which I never did on LJ. Though there's still some disconnect, in that I'm using a fandom pseudonym and thus can't link to my "real life" blogs and things, I've been using DW as a place where I can not just talk about fandom and post fic but also as a great place for talk about non-fannish interests. I've found the new comms here to be really awesome for talking about the stuff I love, like yoga, reading, etc. and also like the way some fannish ideas are getting incorporated into non-fannish communities (like the home ec challenges, for example). I also use DW to run two communities, feminist50 for discussion of feminist and woman-friendly books and baltimore_md, which is self explanatory. A link to a recent post of yours that is characteristic of your journal or writing style: I don't love this idea, just because my "writing style" is not the same as "what I post in my journal," if that makes sense? I like the idea of this meme because I'd love to meet cool people that I can chat with in comments, share interests with, etc. My journal isn't really in a "serious blog format," though. So I'll link you this with the caveat that most of the non-fandom content on my journal is just talking about my week. I do more of my non-fannish participation in communities. A link to a journal on Dreamwidth you think people might enjoy reading, even if they don't know the writer personally: I've really been digging aurora lately. It's all about the figure skating squee these days, and the videos make me smile. If you like skating, take a look.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
