Joining the Exodus

[dancinghorse]

After many years, I've finally reached my limit on what I can put up with by way of terms of service. This journal is on its way to dreamwidth, where I also go by the name of dancinghorse. Once the import is complete, I will be shutting down.

The new location of my blog is here:

https://dancinghorse.dreamwidth.org/

It's been a long time since I posted, and most of my presence these days is on facebook (as Judith Tarr) and twitter (as dancinghorse), along with regular columns at Tor.com and books and a very occasional blog at bookview cafe.com. I am thinking I may wake up my blog over at dw, for entries too long for my political/professional twitter and too political for my politics-free facebook page.

This has been my online bloghome for a very long time. Coming on the heels of the demise of my sff.net web page, which also had been neglected for far too long, it feels like a fundamental upheaval, but also like a necesssary change. A refreshing of the systems. A return to the roots, but in new ways. In a new pot, as it were--like the Birthday Rose, which outgrew its pot and now lives in a new one.

I will miss my lovely page design here--Carrie Keymel's beautiful horses--but some things do pass down the streams of time. I expect I'll see many of you over at dw; the queue is long today, and we're passing around tea and cake as we wait.

See you there, I hope?

Welcome back! (My e-mails still don't seem to reach you. Boo.)

How strange and wonderful - I literally just finished reading the Tor article you wrote about centaurs, and then your post popped up in my email. Very helpful as I currently have a centaur character. Definitely popping over to Dreamwidth to follow you there.

My DW is pretty darn bland - time to learn how to spruce it up. Maybe you can take your horses with you? There has to be a header-based DW surely.

Definitely. I'm the same galeni there.

Hurrah for blogs waking in the spring.

There are communities over on DW which may be able to help you reproduce page design, should you want to try to do that again!

I'm glad you are moving over; I hope your reference to the queue means you are migrating all your lovely content, if not your pretty page design.

*passes you a scone*

FWIW, looks like your FB profile is listed as "dancinghorse" as well. Mentioning it because there's multiple "Judith Tarr"s in FB's directory.

[badgermirlacca.livejournal.com]

Definitely. I'm mirlacca over there.

I concur with your wariness! I am "lurath" over in dreamwidth too.

Sorry to see you go--though you haven't been active here for a while.

I think the Russkis are gunning for their own political bloggers, and could care less about us tiny mice. Facebook's TOS change every few days and get ever more intrusive; I am skeptical about them all.

I think we friended each other over at DW a while back...checked and we are connected. I'm jreynoldsward over there.
