pantoneoceanWE'RE... SO BACK?????
i mentioned this in an earlier post of mine to my dedicated fanbase of one user, but i am bringing back the music roundups in a different format!!! i've started rounding up my discord friends and acquaintances and listening to music i think is interesting in a voice call with me streaming the music and that's gotten me to listen to exponentially more music than i had in the 3 months i spent getting high as fuck listening to grouper slowed and reverbed. i think this is a much more productive way of listening to things, and yadda yadda cataloguing thoughts on music that i've listened to, yadda yadda, my fan knows this
( april 13th )

dw_maintenanceI keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.
Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)
We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.
Just So You Aren't Caught Unawares...
Apr. 11th, 2026 12:10 amelyusionThree Weeks for Dreamwidth is coming up! If you don't know what that is, it's basically 3 weeks of making Dreamwidth-only content to create more activity and love for the site. If possible, it's encouraged to link to Dreamwidth posts/communities/etc. on other sites to make people more interested in the place :] But you don't have to do that, or really anything if you don't want to, obviously. It runs from April 25th to May 15th. You can see what other people plan on doing @3weeks4dreamwidth.
As for me, among other things, I plan on encouraging more activity in my communities. So if you like visual kei or Japanese rock music or really edgy aesthetics or your demon hand that thirsts for blood, you should joinvkotd if you haven't already. I'm going to be holding a new challenge soon :3 And by the end of it you may be... rewarded. Or not. Depends.
Also I madejoseimuke on impulse the other day, which is completely unasked for and blank, but if you like shoujo and josei animanga or otome games or a little BL or some yuri or those phone games where the cast is 99% bishounen/seinen or etc. feel free to join early and see what I'm cooking. Everything you see there right now is very provisional.
Join my comms 🙏🏾 Make your friends join my comms 🙏🏾 Make your friends' friends join my comms 🙏🏾 Or don't, it's all good. I just want more activity on Dreamwidth -- so if you want to start a community, you should! Now's a pretty good time to start making one. Anyone else got plans for 3w4dw?

An Update from April 2026
Apr. 8th, 2026 06:51 pmcomputerghostCW: pretty negative.
I was going to be here more actively and respond to stuff, but my mental health has been awful since lowering my Vyvanse. I don't think withdrawals are the reason anymore. I don't know. I've been feeling like I'm barely holding on.
