I was starting to think about coming back to dreamwidth a few months ago - the mass exodus 2011 and 2016 has been weighing on me, and I miss all the friends and community I used to have. Twitter just isn't the same, and I never used Tumblr as a blog. I used to love vintage_ads on LJ, but it seems dead, and I'm not really sure if I want to be heavily into any specific fandom again (I miss The Toast dreadfully - it was my main community as LJ went into its death throes in 2015 but it wasn't the same as an LJ/DW-style place, and I never really found the same community once Nicole shut it down, though some friends transferred to twitter).

So anyway, if anyone is okay recommending bookish or history-related communities to lurk in? I've been managing [tumblr.com profile] hollywoodhandwriting for a few years (I love old movies), and I'm still actively cataloguing my books/reading on Librarything, which should be linked from my profile.

I'd like to make friends. I'm not sure I'll ever be an active journaler again, but I like really miss the neighborhood feeling of a journal site.

I'll make this an unlocked post, too, so my dw doesn't look empty! Trust me, it's not, it's got 15 years of me growing up, but I made all my posts private out of embarrassment :)
