On the topic of OC expression and XIV/gpose/etc, I don't know who needs to hear this but for 2026 I think you should just do it. The game won't always be here and available, and later down the line wondering "what if" is horrible. Regardless of whether or not you think it will look good, just do it.

In light of everything, if you're looking for actual information on what's happening in Venezuela, or literally anywhere, please please please use and support independent news media.

Get your news from AP/NPR/PBS if you're stateside. AP is also international (and is an independent, internationally recognized body of journalistic standard) and likely has a version of their news desk site for your region. Use it!

I took this as an opportunity to save some kink meme stuff, some fanworks by friends who have disappeared since the LJ days, etc.
Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Fun Fact: One of the reasons Square was pushed to improve its localization practices in the 2000s is because Alexander O. Smith showed them reviews proving that people *cared* about translation quality. (Link to the full interview: web.archive.org/web/20091113...)

The whole "Grok admits" "Grok apologizes" thing reminds me of the famous IBM presentation quote that evidently everyone has forgotten. And I do think representing your brand on social media counts as a "management decision".

You can find your US reps and senators here: reps.fyi
If you call now, you'll get an answering machine and you can leave a message. A great thing to do if you're nervous about talking to someone. Just give your name, your zip code, and demand they impeach Trump for illegally invading Venezuela.

literally advice that has existed since someone on LiveJournal in the 2000s got put on a no fly list because they jokingly talked about wanting to whack Bush.
it has nothing to do with whether the anger is valid. it is. I am livid. I also want people to stay safe because I care about them.

Yeah, no more silence on my socials about this stuff. This shit is insane and we need to expedite removing that Tangerine Terror from power before he ruins more innocent lives. I've left 3 messages in the last hour and will make more. Do the right thing for not just the US, but for world's safety.

Friendly reminder that Congress had enough phone calls coming in last February that it was actively causing the phone system to crash and they had to progressively work to upgrade it over several nights to ensure it could handle the call volume.
If enough people call, it disrupts the system.

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

You will start hearing stuff about Venezuelans wanting this or participating or something. These are deranged claims.
Make no mistake, the Venezuelan govt is corrupt and evil but this isn't it. This is just more evil happening on my country that helps no one.
