Given that comments can be controversial on the indie web, it’s worth pointing out the use cases for comment sections as a feature. Comment sections are particularly suited to allowing for brief high-context replies, supporting public multi-way interactions, setting a (relatively) lower threshold for participation, and allowing the blogger to define the parameters for a discussion. These are use cases that cannot all be adequately addressed by commonly-suggested alternatives such as response posts or email.

I am getting ready to delete my Livejournal. I haven't posted anything there since 2022, and all of the news about the data being sold off is making me super uncomfortable. I loved that website for such a long time, but maybe it's really time to say goodbye.

This Snowflake Challenge inspired me to go back through my memories/saved entries on LJ and pull out some notable ones.

•This is a list of all of the originals songs used in Roswell put together by Sweet_honeygirl. I think songs were changed/swapped when Roswell was put on Netflix. Originally posted 11-03-2007.

•Fic: A Love Like the Sea by andrealyn in four parts. Originally posted at camp_toccoa on 5-21-2009. WARNING for attempted suicide & suicidal ideation. I recced this fic and bookmarked it. I'm rereading it and I don't have the same love for it as I once did, but It's still worth noting how much the characterization of this fic likely influenced my future webgott fics.

Pairing: Liebgott/Webster
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6,015
ETA This fic was posted on AO3.

•And then this is an html guide by inkvoices that is still usable if you use HTML on DW. I remember learning a lot from this post! I decided to copy/paste it under this cut so that I'd have it if the site went down. Originally posted 10-08-2012.

This theme is the perfect opportunity to talk about my three favorite animated horses! I love these three films, and I think the horse companions add a lot - we get to know the characters through their relationship with their horse, the horse advances the plot, and even provides comic relief. Plus the animation itself is gorgeous for all three of these.

03. Altivo from The Road to El Dorado

He falls into a life of adventure (literally)! His mane falls loose from its tight bindings once he escapes his Spanish master and it's such a lovely metaphor. Just like Miguel and Tulio, he is set free and chooses a life that he actually wants!

02. Khan from Mulan

He follows Mulan into war and stays loyal to her no matter what - he seems to represent Mulan's immediate family in a way that Mushu does not. He's probably the most regal horse on this list.

01. Angus from Brave

Merida is the ultimate horse girl, and Angus is so beautiful and just as adventurous as she is. I'm in awe of the animation.

Honorable mention to Spirit in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron but I wouldn't count him as a pet. He's the main character!
