As of today, I decided to go back on LiveJournal, after months of not posting or not using my livejournal. I am not going to advertise my communities or anything like that, here on this blog, but I will say that my LJ is located here. What made me go back? Besides moderating and maintaining some LJ communities, I decided to go back because of all the communities on LJ and all the friends I have on LJ.
Anyhow, There are LOTS of feminist and riot grrrl communities. I decided to look around all the LJ communities and I found quite a few of them active and interesting, so I joined them. I have to say that there are lots of people with both or one of those interests listed on their profiles. The interest “feminism” is very popular on livejournal and it is listed as a popular interest. I think it’s great that there are so many people out there on livejournal that are interested in feminism. Unlike a lot of websites, Livejournal seems to have a lot of feminism communities and users interested in feminism. I have to say, livejournal is inspiring.
What is my point in this blog post? I think livejournal is great. There aren’t many websites out there that have a lot of feminists and/or riot grrrls on them. Livejournal is a bit more personal than a blog. I know that my livejournal is more personal and it’s friends only. This blog is public to everyone and it’s not about me, but about feminism and riot grrrl. I think everyone should get a livejournal, whether it’s for reading the communities, for making/having friends, posting about your life, or reading about other people’s lives.
