Hello Everyone

[miss_s_b]

Name: Jennie
Age: 39
Location: Yorksher
Tumblr/Goodreads/IG/etc: I have a list of accounts in other places and how active I am on them here

Describe yourself in five sentences or less:
I'm an SJW cliche: Liberal in the British sense rather than the American or Australian, and reasonably high up in various bits of the Liberal Democrats - I'm on regional exec, I'm the acting chair of the LGBT+ faction, I'm on one of the 3 ruling committees of the party, and I'm one of the 3 regular hosts of Glee Club.
Autistic, depressed and anxious, and mother to an autistic and anxious daughter.
Bi, poly, and (mostly) happily ensconced in a poly household with an extensive polygon.
Geeky about all things scifi and fantasy.
Multicoloured hair, many tattoos, lots of piercings.

Top 5 Fandoms:
Doctor Who (except 10)
Red Dwarf
Music of most kinds but expecially things with heavy bass and/or lots of guitar.
Doggies, especially my doggies, but also (for example) Arthur Whippet on Twitter and WhippyJim and Moose on Instagram.
And I suspect I ought to put British Politics here, because it basically IS a fandom, isn't it? With all the BNFs and backstabbing that implies...

I mostly post about:
Most of what you'll see on my blog day to day are my daily linkspam posts, which are links to anything I have found interesting, and are done automatically. Actually typed posts tend to be mostly politics, but really, it's whatever comes into my head to post about that's too long for twitter.

My last three posts were about:
(not counting linkspams)
Supergirl TV show and how ace it is
A local by election that my party came second in
Barry Manilow and the media's response to his recent news.

How often do you post? How about commenting?
Linkspam is daily. Actual posts are much more sporadic - some weeks it's several times a day, some weeks it's not at all. This is almost always a reflection of how my mental health is. The iller I am, the more I tend to drop off everything except Twitter. If I'm ever not-on-Twitter you know things are REALLY bad.
I almost always reply to comments on my own posts, usually quite quickly, but email is the first thing to stop checking if I'm Having a Mental, so not always.
I comment on other people's posts generally when I read, and I always read back after I've made a post myself. So If I'm posting a lot, you'll see an uptick in comments from me. If I'm in a non-posting phase, you'll not see any.

A GIF to describe how your day has been so far:

Hey, I'd love to add you. Also, how does the linkspam work automatically? That sounds awesome!

[miss_s_b]

Yours is a name that I recognise! Hello!

The linkspam is done by if I come across an interesting link I save it to pinboard; once a day a fab tool made by andrewducker slurps my pinboard and spews it out to my blog. Full disclosure: I have had <a href="http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1817827.html</a> a couple of frustrations with it recently</a> but that's mostly down to my own brainweasels.

[miss_s_b]

Oooo html not working in comments thing is unexpected LOL

[miss_s_b]

Oh I didn't close the quotes, did I? Silly Jennie.

[earthspirits]

Looks like we have several interests in common, including Vincent Price (!), classic horror films, and Doctor Who.

Would you like to mutually add each other to our circles and subscription?

Thank you and best wishes! : )

[miss_s_b]

I used to have a VinnyP icon... Shockingly lax!

Anyway, yes, you sound like good people to me :)

[earthspirits]

Thank you, and have added you back. : )

Yes, Vincent is always quite adorable.

[miss_s_b]

Have you got this? It's awesome. It's got the comic book adaptations of some of the films in and everything!

[earthspirits]

Ohhhh - That is awesome! : D

I have some of his films separately, but not this boxed set. Wonder if it comes in a non Blue Ray version?

Thanks for the tip and link!

[miss_s_b]

I don't know if it does - one of my partners got me it for Xmas and/or birthday when it came out (my birthday is 27th Dec, so I can never remember what gift was for what thing)

Awwwwwww lovely Two! He's my daughter's fave <3

Re: +1

[solarbird]

The local station showing classic-era Doctor Who rotates through all surviving episodes, and he's where they were when I came in. I love my weird little space hobo. And Zoe's one of my favourite classic companions too. :D

Re: +1

[miss_s_b]

*nodnod*

Daughter loves Zoe and her intellect and confidence.

Re: +1

[solarbird]

I forget which episode - Moonbase? - where she's doing ballistics and interceptions math in her head faster than their computers can do it? That was when I just went click.

Re: +1

[miss_s_b]

It was the bit in The Invasion where she confuses the computer enough to make it explode that made Daughter fall in Love

Re: +1

[solarbird]

Oh gods I love Invasion. Why didn't they use that animation studio (for the missing episodes) when they did Power of the Daleks? WHY BEEB WHY?!

Re: +1

[miss_s_b]

[rosefox]

Hello! We know lots of London polybis in common. :)

[miss_s_b]

This is quite easy to believe :)

[st_aurafina]

I know you via lilacsigil - hope it's okay to add you?

[miss_s_b]

Sure thing!
