Okay, Mr. Creek and I are off to get hitched and honeymooned and celebrated. \o/

We will probably get online a few times, but we'll be largely AFK until Monday the 20th.

Try not to let the internet burn down while we're gone, okay?

Wish us luck and love! <3 to you all!

You want to know why I believe in Dreamwidth?

From denise's recent life from the front lines post:

Time from site launch to first Terms of Service complaint that wasn't just an inquiry about a certain provision of the ToS, but someone who wanted to report content in someone else's account/community: 18 hours.

(The answer was "so don't look at it, then!")

That. That is the kind of sensible be-a-grown-up-(or-at-least-pretend) attitude I expect from my site administrators. denise confirmed in comments that this was content allowed by the TOS which was reported as objectionable because someone didn't like it. MADE OF WIN.

If I weren't already paid up for something like 18 months I would send them more money. \DREAMWIDTH/

In other news, I have a few more invites. Do you still need one?

Anyone want a Dreamwidth invite code?

ETA: One left. :D

ETA: All gone.

Happy (probable) (observed) birthday, Mr. Shakespeare!

A bonus poem for Earth Day! Credit for the idea goes directly to villainny.

i thank You God for most this amazing
e. e. cummings

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

AKA, the most recent thing to make me cry. Happy tears.

If you would like some magic in your day, I encourage you to check out these pictures. I can't describe them in a way that does justice. They're of children laying on the ground in poses that make it look like they're flying through the air. That doesn't capture it; go look for yourself. Hat tip to virogtheconq for the link.
