I know Denise said that Dreamwidth activity jumped up after the Reddit thing, so I'm kind of curious if the uhhh decisions made at Twitter will have a similar effect. I don't expect DW to ever take off in a big way (and probably wouldn't want it to!) and I don't really welcome Twitter's ongoing self-immolation just because it was so sudden and has such outsized effects, but I'm not above enjoying more activity here/at Tumblr.

I discovered a new song!
Well, it's from 2012 and I think won a Grammy, but I hadn't heard it before. I was making a PNW-themed playlist (shh) and browsing brought up Esperanza Spalding's "City of Roses." It's about Portland, of course, and a jazz paean to Portland with lyrics about loving the bridges, the greenery and parks, the waterfront, the farmer's market and its people, the music, etc. I loved it!
