sabotabbyAfter years of people telling me to do it, I deleted my LJ.
Feel sad about it, but it was a security problem (my account got hacked several times) and increasingly a pain to cross-post. There's a bare minimum of folks there who don't post here, and so I ended up just having to scroll through it every morning for the one or two entries that I might want to see. And let's be honest, even if I never go back to Eastern Europe, I just don't want Putin's goons knowing that much about my life.
It feels weird. LJ was my primary internet home for so long, and it was there I met most of the folks who would be most influential on my life and the way I think. I had a super nostalgic discussion about it on FB last night and apparently I influenced a lot of people too.
But you know. I'm still here. In case you need your Sabotabby Ranting About Politics, Etc. fix. I have many things to say about how FB and Twitter have destroyed the internet, so I'm not going to give up old school blogging any time soon.
