Wishing won't bring it back

I miss the old LJ community and the sense of a conversation, sometimes.

At the weekend, I went blackberrying with my girlfriend. (She's amazing. Have I mentioned that?) It was an accidental sort of blackberrying: we filled her hat, because there was a patch of dead ground filled with brambles and berries and we just couldn't turn away.

With a cooking apple cooked down with chopped dates for sweetness, we made a blackberry pie:

I love that accidental blackberrying happens to you.

It looks like an excellent pie!

I miss the old LJ community (though I think that was already fading away when I joined, and I never managed to find the SFF parts of the community before they were gone) but I've come to an acceptance that every online community exists in a state of dynamic change. We remember that point in the flux when it most resonated for us, but even as we experienced it, it was changing under our feet.

I look at the places online where I currently feel comfortable and included and can already see their fragility. I can guess the ways (and in some cases, the timelines) in which they will fracture.

That looks delicious!
