addmeI made a post in this community at the beginning of 2025, and now, we are getting close to the middle of 2026, so maybe I should post again.
I don't see a specific reason to use the template, as this will be quick...
46, Male, United States, I post once or twice a week on average. I don't have any contentious beliefs or opinions, and my journal is mostly personal notes, with a few thoughts maybe about the world and culture. I am not heavily into any of the "fandoms", but might make a comment or two on related things.
I don't really have any specific "types" I am looking to follow on here, although journals that are too contentious and difficult might not be what I am looking for. Adult content is okay, as long as it is not totally pornographic, and also behind a cut. I am looking to build up a community in general.
What I'm doing Wednesday
Apr. 15th, 2026 11:45 amwriterlibrarianHealth
I took a dive in the outside steps on Sunday. My right knee was scratched a whole lot. The shock was brutal. I'm better, yea! for chiropractor and Polysporin cream.
Teacher stuff
Last week of online class, I still have to write one text for next Monday. Then they have to do their last term paper due on the 30th. By May 10th it's done.
I really enjoyed the experience. If the opportunity is offered again I'll take it.
Work stuff
I might take a short term replacement job at my old library. One of the librarian is out on sick leave. I'm just the back up if she doesn't come back mid May and only part time (3 1/2 days) and only until June. That's a lot of only. We will see.
Reading
April is a slow month reading wise I'm still reading Katabasis by R. F. Kuang. I'm up to 21% and it's interesting. But I'm more into reading fic this month. It's Rough Trade first writing challenge of the year. The theme is Complications : competence/alternative universe. I love reading the stories as they are written. I have two this time I'm following : Bone Deep it's a Harry Potter Master of Death AU and (How to) Save a Life also Potter fandom but with a focus on Draco being the main character. Often I end up rereading some stores that were posted through the challenge and published months later. I am rereading Keira Marcos Fusion/AU Potter/Tolkien: The Arda Exodus. It is still very entertaining and a comfort read.
Watching
Pursuit of Jade is on pause because I'm not in a historical drama mood but I'll go back to it eventually. I am watching Sunsets Secrets Regrets a noir, crime, undercover, police drama. So far (10/28), it's keeping me watching. Rebirth was a no go, I watched the first three and nope.
Hockey
The battle of Pennsylvania Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia. Redux. Go Pens. Starts this week-end.
Crafting
My red fox in the forest is done.

The case of the missing notifications

dw_maintenanceI keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.
Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)
We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

Apr. 10th, 2026 01:18 pmshehiemal posting in addmeName: Rhi, rhymes with sea, she/her
Age: early 30s
I mostly post about: Probably mostly books I read, music, fandom, and for the foreseeable future my much-planned writing project of noir biofuturistic middle-aged vampire lesbian erotica
My hobbies are: Writing, reading, music, being in nature (not "hiking" because I'm disabled but ykwim), watching video game letsplays
My fandoms are: Arthuriana, Skyrim, Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age (the first two), Homer, Dracula, Nero Wolfe, TTRPGs in general, a lot of random books
I'm looking to meet people who: I might gravitate toward accounts that also post about books, or post fandom meta...post about music...but I like hearing from people who have interests different from mine, too, as long as everyone's on a similar page on humans respecting each other as covered in the dealbreakers question :p
My posting schedule tends to be: Probably less than once a day and more than once a week
When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
My journal is 18+ only.
Bigotry including but not limited to racism, transphobia, ablism, sexism, or religious intolerance (including weirdos who hate atheists).
Strongly believing there is such a thing as "good art" and "bad art." Using "sees nuance" to mean "agrees with me."
Before adding me, you should know: I also have an Intro post here
