* Omegle, The Escapist... I forget what else... Jezebel... basically a whole bunch of 'wait, that's still around?' formerly big things on the internet are suddenly gone and that feels kind of weird.

And also, what is happening with tumblr? It looks like it's not shutting down exactly, but very close? IDK

I was in a weird mood about Escapist (which technically bought, but with Yahtzee leaving they lost the only thinking keeping the site afloat all these years) but now, ugh

* Guess I need to actually update my website. It's been a pain since WP changed editors. I should have been working on it and making galleries bit by bit all this time, and sprinkling in links on my photography tumbler that was doing so solidly... but oh well.

* I am so tired

* Also, like, the FB group that used to be really good for OC Portland photography content is beyond a hot mess these days. They've got multiple mods and one is too picky and another approved a photo of a dildo on the sidewalk, just laying there. Not an art thing. Not hanging from electrical wires. Just... laying there. Meanwhile, my last few posts got rejected. I stopped even trying to post ages ago. But once in a while I see an image and I'm like WTF??? Tiktok still thinks I am a bot and restricts me even following accounts. My insta account is borked due to a log in problem. I can use it, but I don't want to invest time there especially since when I decided to get Threads it automatically associated my Insta with a long defunct FB account and not my current one. I can't log into that ancient FB account if I wanted to.

For now I am going to focus on just getting content and not on adjusting to an ever-changing internet.

* I do have here. I like posting here. But I also want my working getting out there and it's just a hot mess on today's internet. Ah, man, I just wish this wasn't all happening in November because writing is going to sideline things like dealing with my website.

* I think I'll opt into the beta the new posting page and inbox for DW so I can get used to them now.

Test. This is a test of the new Create Entries interface

Test of image posting to make sure it's the same:



... I need to go reshoot that house if it's still there.

Okay, everything looks fine. Don't need to learn anything or change how I do things. I do like the new UI to browse icons, but I do need new icons.

Wait, do I no longer need to tap 'update date' every time I post to make sure I'm not accidentally backdated? Maybe?

Edits to add: I left the post open for a bit to see if it would post at time I opened the Post page or when I hit Post. Looks like posting time did not auto-update? Is there a button I am not seeing?
