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.

[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?

[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)

[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. ^_^

[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! >.<;

[ex_bacchus495]

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

[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.

[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.)

[tiny_turtle]

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

[takerzmuse]

Tickied all~ as I've been lurking about your various journals for quite some time and randomly commenting (but always interested). ^_^

[christeos-pir.livejournal.com]

Hi, it's CP. I would also like to see any of your material on anime/manga/Japanese pop culture; specifically the academic stuff but mass consumption is good too. Cheers!

[haruka]

I've seen you around here and on LJ and am looking for more DW friends, so hi! *waves* I also like your layout designs, I'm just not savvy about implementing anything I can't just click a button for. *weak laugh*

[birdwingheart]

Hi, I'm moving over to DW from LJ (was pollinia over there) and am madly in love with your fics. Also, you make a bread-and-roses reference on your profile page, which is always lovely. If you're not comfortable adding me to some of the filters, that's cool. :)

[stormyseasons]

I finally moved over here, thanks to your generous invite codes. ticked everything except esoteric or self-stuff. would rather not intrude on the inside of your head.

[azartti]

Hi, I'm azartti from LJ. I tickled all of the boxes but it is totally fine if you don't feel like sharing stuff. Also, I just love your fics.

[ex_ironfist454]

Hello! I have been, uhm, an embarrassingly long time reader of your fanfiction, but I'd like to subscribe to you if that's not too creepy! ♥

[scarykitteh]

Hi, I just found you because of the call for header art (maybe I will, maybe I won't... ^_^). Then I found "Six Pomegranate Seeds" (nice title, by the way -- just obscure enough ;-D) and thought it was charming. Then I read your "about me" posts because I am a shameless, nosy, busybody. I hope you don't mind that I have checked off some of the more personal boxes here. ^_^ If I weird you out (or bore you senseless), don't hesitate to block me.

Nice ta meetcha!

[theodosia21]

Hi again! I ticked "explosions". Sounds like fun...

[eleanorjane]

Hi! Prompted by damned_colonial's recent post about getting to know people on DW, I'm trying to do exactly that. :) So, given that you don't know me yet, I can quite understand if you don't want to put me on your access lists, but I figured I'd answer the poll anyway - lo, who can resist the siren lure of the tickybox?

[qem_chibati]

Hi, it's been a while. >_< Any chance I could be allowed access, to everything but Esoteric?
