I've now updated the bookmarklet so that it preserves the HTML encoding in the selected text, so for instance if you select a chunk of text that includes an image or links to an AO3 story or to another DW post, the links will be preserved. It does NOT work on embedded video, sorry. :(

javascript:void%20function(){function%20e(){var%20e=%22%22;if(%22undefined%22!=typeof%20window.getSelection){var%20n=window.getSelection();if(n.rangeCount){for(var%20t=document.createElement(%22div%22),o=0,r=n.rangeCount;r%3Eo;++o)t.appendChild(n.getRangeAt(o).cloneContents());e=t.innerHTML}}else%22undefined%22!=typeof%20document.selection%26%26%22Text%22==document.selection.type%26%26(e=document.selection.createRange().htmlText);return%20e}function%20n(){return%20document.getElementsByClassName(%22access-filter%22).length%3E0}function%20t(){var%20e=!n();return%20e||(e=confirm(%22Post%20is%20access-locked.%20Continue%3F%22)),e}function%20o(){var%20n=e(),t=c.substr(0,c.indexOf(%22.%22));t=t.substr(t.lastIndexOf(%22/%22)+1);var%20o=document.title;o=o.substr(o.lastIndexOf(%22%20|%20%22)+3);var%20i=%22%3Cp%3E%22;i=i+'%3Cuser%20name=%22'+t+'%22%3E%20posted:%20',i=i+'%3Cstrong%3E%3Ca%20href=%22'+c+'%22%3E'+o+%22%3C/a%3E%3C/strong%3E%22,i=i,n.length%3E0%26%26(i=i+%22\n%3Cblockquote%3E%20%22+n+%22%3C/blockquote%3E%22),i+=%22%3C/p%3E%22;var%20a=%22Signal%20Boost:%20%22+o;r=r+encodeURIComponent(i)+%22%26subject=%22+encodeURIComponent(a),window.location=r}var%20r=%22https://www.dreamwidth.org/update.bml%3Fevent=%22,c=window.location.href;t()%26%26o()}();

You can just copy and paste that code from the textarea into the URL field of the bookmarklet to upgrade it.

Also here's the underlying javascript in much more readable/editable form for anyone who wants to muck around with it: signal_boost.js on Gist

Woooooo! This thing is amazing! <3 <3 <3

On the one hand, we have witnessed an endless series of global debt crises[...] On the other, we have an ecological crisis[...] But ultimately they are the same. What is debt, after all, but the promise of future productivity? Saying that global debt levels keep rising is simply another way of saying that, [...] human beings are promising each other to produce an even greater volume of goods and services in the future than they are creating now.

This is going to take me a while to digest, but wanted to reblog while I still remember.

Social Media for me

I've been thinking about how my online habits have changed since I moved to DW. I read more articles. I read more fics. I feel more disconnected from the fanart community and memes. I am laugh a lot less. (I used to be able to go onto tumblr and see 5 posts within a minute of scrolling that makes me lol, or smile in amusement). My worry about the world is more "the environment will die" and less "atrocities are happening everywhere (here is a list of places to donate)"

At the end of the day, what it boils down to is that tumblr and DW take up different types of brain energy. Tumblr filled the "goof off" niche (competition: BrickBreaker, fic reading), and DW fills the "mildly serious" niche (competition: modding, arting). Shitposting on DW is great, but at the end of the day, the difficulty around images and mobile just makes the site less conducive to short, goof-off posts.*

Anyway, I want to think about what are my needs re: social media.

To connect with a community
- DW has a good community here! Honestly, my problem rn is that I don't have the time and energy to invest in being an active participant in something like Discord or even Hubzilla. And I mostly just haven't been connecting with people. I should just give up on this one.

To keep track of the pulse of fandom
- DW is not bad, although it feels like Discord type places is better for getting notifications that a movie is coming out, or a trailer has dropped. I guess DW has more of the meta level stuff and less squee about Steve Rogers' hair. (Although I think it can and should serve as a place for intemperate squeeing)

To spread my art
- I think AO3 is going to be the place for me for posting art, since people can subscribe and comment. And I guess I can get accounts in all the other places and crosspost there when the time comes. ngl: getting notes on tumblr was definitely nice. But I'm in a spite-based relationship with tumblr rn, so fuck that noise. Honestly, I think rn the best place to spread my art would probably be twitter. I just have to find the mental space to set up there. :/ But also: that may never happen so I should at least do some AO3 housecleaning today.

To relax and look at silly things
- I don't know where I can do this except on tumblr, tbh. So maybe I'll still do that. I'm a silly things consumer, not a producer. maybe it's time to re-install the tumblr app on my phone.

To vent and organize my thoughts
- Obviously this is what I've used DW for since 2001. Same old same old

* Not that it's not doable. Just slightly harder. I think the question here is: is it just hard enough be impossible to nurture?

Soup's shitposting rules

Okay, I see people here being like "I don't know what a shitpost is, so I'm nervous" and I'm like ... the point of shitposts is to NOT care about what you're writing.

So, here are my shitposting rules:
1) write a line or two, not a paragraph
2) either ZERO caps or ALL caps. play fast and loose with punctuation and shit
3) write the first thing that comes to mind, hit post, and then leave

ALL RIGHT LET'S DO THIS
