I did two things, actually. I finally moved from LJ to Dreamwidth, and I finally posted something. Took a few tries to get the move to work, which it finally has, and now posting mostly to let everyone know that I'm over here now. Still likely my only use of DW will be when I want to write something that's too long for a tweet, but hey, I'm here.

I learned something new on Twitter yesterday/this morning. Apparently, if your avatar on the internet is of a dog (oh, hey Digby, Mosely, and a couple dogs I happened to photograph at dogshows) you are a flaming racist. Obviously, I don't subscribe to this theory - I've always thought a dog avatar meant you loved your pet/thought the pic was amusing. Like Avenue Q says, we're all a little bit racist and that does apply to me and everyone else, but how liking your own pets makes you (the Charleston terrorist, for example) baffles me. I'm not sure if I'm more upset that having Mosely as my avatar on Twitter brands me a racist, or that dogs as a whole are now seen as a sign of racism.

WTF, people?
