So I gather that a number of my friends are participating in the LJ strike. I'm not.

Happy things today:

A beautiful, almost-full moon

Thai noodles with organic veggies

Getting to lounge around in bed this morning until I was ready to get up

Finished the manuscript in plenty of time (she was hoping for a week's turnaround; I did in in a little less than six days, and could have done it sooner if I hadn't had a couple of really-low-energy days this week)

Getting a new manuscript tomorrow

Just basically happy today, with relatively low pain and stuff. Life is good.

Some of mine are, but I'm not noticing a perceptible drop in the number of posts on my friendspage.

Me, I'm enjoying a reasonably good mood for a few minutes before I get dressed for another day that's likely to spoil it. )-:

I wasn't, but I was busy being Church Lady and didn't post. ;)

I had to drive hitchhiker to BART at dawn today. The moon was setting, all vaguely golden, and lovely.

Hmm. They're striking because they're the ones who provide all the content! And they want LJ to publish it for free, and not make any money off of it to pay for the servers and coders and troubleshooters.

So basically paid users like me (I have 3 paid accounts) are funding not just my use of the platform, but theirs too (not just the ones whose content I enjoy, but everybody's content).

But they're not posting any content, so maybe I will just take my money somewhere else, and then nobody will be paying for their content, and (warning, fallacy of the slippery slope approaching) then LJ will go out of business and they won't have anywhere to post their content. So there!
