findingfriendsIs there an interesting story behind your username? Nope. I just like sea monsters and space.
Location and language(s): U.S.A. (Texas), I speak English y Español.
Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): 30s.
Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:
-Racism, transphobia, xenophobia, homophobia, classism, sexism, fatphobia, ableism, religious intolerance, elitism, slut-shaming, and anti-science rhetoric.
-If you make me feel uncomfortable or creeped out (inappropriate messages, demanding my time/attention/personal info/etc).
-Frequently posting sensitive or NSFW content without a content warning and cut/filter.
-Rudeness, toward me or others.
-If I comment on your posts and you never comment on mine.
-If your content is absolutely nothing but fanfiction (especially if it's a fandom I'm not even a part of XD).
Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? Not at the moment. I might put one up after this.
Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Yes it's up-to-date, and it has a comprehensive list of my interests.
List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
-I value empathy in my friends.
-In regards to politics, I am very left leaning.
-I'm not interested in forming any romantic or sexual connections/relationships with anyone.
-Inever rarely use anyone's real government name (including my own) in my posts.
-Please refrain from offering me unsolicited advice.
-I just recently joined Dreamwidth, so I only have about 16 or so journal entries up right now.
You mostly write about: art, books, culture, day-to-day life, exercise, family, fiction, food, gardening, homesteading, memories, mental health, movies and tv shows, music, poetry, work.
You never or very rarely write about: diets, hard drugs, fanfiction, my sex life, and sporting events.
Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? Mixed.
Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? Yes.
Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): It varies.
Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Links and photos, yes. Links are typically to current works (drawings, paintings, and poetry) on my art page. Photos are usually selfies or of pets, plants, and artwork. I'm trying to remember to include image descriptions whenever I do post photos.
What do you enjoy most about journaling? Looking back on life.
How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? Daily.
You really enjoy reading about: art, baking, cooking, crafts, DIY projects, dolls, fiction, folklore and mythology, foraging and wild crafting, gardening, homemaking, homesteading, mesoamerican history, modern fashion, photography, poetry, sewing, and videography.
You have very little interest in reading about: addiction, conservative talking points, diets, eating disorders, self-harm.
Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? As long as that's not all that you post, it's typically fine.
When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? Quality, I guess? I don't need lengthy (or frequent) comments, just genuine ones.
Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? Yes, I'll revoke access to my journal if they absolutely never comment on any of my posts.
What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? I do comment regularly, but I probably won't comment on every single post.
When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? Unless we've become particularly close, I will unfriend/unsubscribe/revoke access without warning and would prefer if others do the same. Let's not make a whole thing out of it.
AND LASTLY Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general? No, not really. If and when I write about those things, it's usually because that's what I'm actually reading/watching/playing at that time.
Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? Please comment on this entry before adding me.
And be well and stay safe out there.
