Journal & Friending What do you post about?: Everything or whatever comes to mind. Lately been doing a daily post about my life during the pandemic (but that will end on March 17 - on the 2 year anniversary). How often do you update?: Daily - but that will most likely end on March 17. What do you look for in a DW friend?: Flexibility, sense of humor, kindness, and curiousity What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Book reviews, movie reviews, television reviews, theater reviews, film reviews, recommendations, interesting things they are doing at work or at home, trips they've taken, photos, etc. Do you have any kind of friending policy?: I wait a while to friend back - check them out, and determine if the person is legit. Most of my stuff is public though. Do you have any deal-breakers?: Attacking me in my own journal will piss me off and get someone unfriended or loss access. Do not attack me in my journal. You can fact check or disagree - but be polite about it. I don't mind polite disagreement - I'm often wrong. Also outright racism, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny are deal breakers. Is there anything others should know before friending?: I'm liberal? And opinionated? Also snarky, have a dark sense of humor with a very dry wit - that doesn't always come across well on social media? I make fun of everything including myself?
