Filter subscription entry

[branchandroot]

And, lo, here we have the Subscribe to Filters poll.

I tend to post a lot of things locked and filtered. Some security decisions I make myself, but most of my filters are content filters. The divisions are as follows:



Daily Life: Highest traffic. This is a bit of a catch-all. It gets entries about the house, the weather, the cats, the latest go-rounds with my doctors, triumphs or anguish related to designing or programming or layouts, etc.

Teaching: Very low traffic. I switched career tracks in 2015, so this now has mostly training-related stuff. Technical details like memorable posts, assignments that really worked, notes on potential curricula go in here.

Design: Low traffic. Details of course design and articles I want to keep track of go here. Also, technical details of site design and programming, useful software, cursing at predecessors, CSS tricks.

Esoteric: Vanishingly low traffic. I rarely write about my own spiritual leanings, but when I do it goes in here. Note: my own leanings are split between pagan and atheist.

Self-stuff: Very low traffic. This is where I document the inside of my own head. It tends to be moderately incomprehensible unless you know the vocabulary.

Explosions: Very low traffic. Past experience suggests that it is cathartic to some people to watch me go off like a fireworks factory over things and people who have truly raised my ire. This generally relates to fandom or to work.

Fandom: Fandom and political posts are largely unfiltered; as long as you have my journal subscribed you get those.

Please mark below any and all filters you would like to subscribe to. I assure you I will not feel in any way upset or slighted if you only want one or two of these, or even none, and I will make sure you are not in any filter you leave unchecked.

If one chooses none... is that, in fact choosing all? Which is what I would do.

[branchandroot]

No, if you want to be in all of them, just tick all of them!

...an 'all' box would have been good. Alas that one can't edit a poll once it's made.

[baggyeyes]

Well, I choose all :)

[phoebe_zeitgeist]

I find it difficult to believe that there's anyone who doesn't want to be on Explosions. Surely there are actual saints in our world, living alongside us! Who knew?

[branchandroot]

*laughing helplessly* Well, hey, it's not everyone's cup of tea. Or bag of popcorn as the case often seems to be.

[branchandroot]

You are down for all!

[phoebe_zeitgeist]

I don't know whether it's the bag of popcorn aspect so much as it's the fellow feeling/reassurance. It's always nice to know you're not the only person who occasionally feels, and has to restrain, a powerful urge to tear out people's throats with her teeth.

[nan]

I ticked all of 'em! :D

[jyuukoi]

I always love reading a good explosion post myself! I post some of them (though not nearly as much as I should :hrmmms:

[afuna]

Ticked! (And I admit to not being a saint :-D)

[branchandroot]

*giggling* Yeah, a lot of people seem not to be.

[neith]

A bit late to the party, but I ticked all of them.

[helens78]

Tickied -- but my curiosity should never obligate anybody to add me anywhere they don't want me, so please do as you prefer. ^_^

[branchandroot]

Oh, these are the 'public' filters. I made them for people to subscribe to!

[zoisaito]

Nothing like having a complete stranger fill out a subscription poll ...

But I've followed your public posts for a while, and hoped perhaps that you wouldn't mind a little 'de-lurking' now. I will also say that I'm not nearly so creepy as this makes me sound! >.<;

[branchandroot]

No problem at all! *grins* Nothing creepy about wanting to read some more.

[ldybastet]

You're not the only one who took this opportunity to de-lurk. ;)

I actually like that part about moving journal sites... It happened a lot when people went from LJ to IJ too.

[ex_bacchus495]

Hey there, could I be added to all of your filters? I like reading your entries. :)

[branchandroot]

Sure thing!

[mllelaurel]

I've already filled this out with the OpenID account, but I figured doing so again with this one wouldn't hurt.

[kaigou]

I never filled this out! So I have no idea what I'm on and what I'm not. Other than the fact that I adore your explosions, though I wouldn't call them explosions. More like gorgeous if sudden fireworks of great snark.

[branchandroot]

*laughing* I put you in most of them already. You're all up now.

[aldanise]

If I'm not too late, I just filled out this poll. (Also, hi! I'm one of the people taking advantage of DW to subscribe to everyone who I was too chicken to follow on LJ; I adore...very nearly all of your writing.)

[branchandroot]

Glad to have you! And you remind me that I should really make this post sticky, so it's up at the top all the time...

[tiny_turtle]

*pounces on sticky* I enjoy (all of) your writing, and would love to see more! Thank you. :)
