Posted on bnha_fans.

Signal boosted pillowfolks, pillowfolk_gamers, pillowfortu_haul.

Signal boosts:

• dw_community_promo has been busy between Pillowfolks moving their comms over and dw folks taking a chance to promote existing comms to a new audience! Worth a look. Or a post, if you have a comm you'd like to bring attention to :D
• Big honking list of communities, divided into categories, that prettyarbitrary shared in pillowfolks!
• Layout questions over at style_system

IRL has been XXXing me in the YYY lately, although only in moderate levels compared to what many seem to be going through :( Lots of love and hugs. The bullshit remains ongoing here, but I think I just got sick of going into hermit-mode, or I guess maybe I've temporarily regained enough strength for other things... Either way, thanks to a friend doing word sprints with me this morning I did start writing again (and had a bit of fun, even :D) and now I'm trying to dig myself out of my Dreamwidth reading page and inbox backlog, but unfortunately it looks like this is going to be a multi-day endeavour. Be patient with me! As everyone always is here :D Just a heads-up for more not-being-on-top-of-anything than usual, I suppose. I did seem to lose interest in all my hobbies for a bit, except for petting the cat (although never as much as I should, obviously) and reading (The Unicorn Hunters was so good! I'm not the only murderer at the retirement home was so funny!!).

Meanwhile, Pillowfort is closing down :( That's sad. I feel like they were birds of a feather with Dreamwidth in terms of the kind of Internet culture and conversation style they encouraged. Quite a few users seem to be looking at Dreamwidth as a potential home, so let me signal boost a few comms:

• pillowfolks has been quite active if you're trying to find your people or your feet (or both!!) (or more!) in here. Introductions and site usage tips (there's more on newcomers as well). Finding people and things on DW seems like a good starting point!
• Spotted pillowfolk_gamers for the Pillowfort gamers to find each other (and potentially new friends?)
• I'm not familiar with "Pillowfort blankets" but pillowfortu_haul makes it sound like prompt lists to answer in your journal? Which I think many in my circles would enjoy!

I'll add more as I see them while I sloooooowwwwllyyy catch up on my reading page :) (Edit: Or just link to this helpful list on pillowfolks!)
