Livejournal, Time to Backup?

I've just backed up my livejournal to dreamwidth (https://aggienaut.dreamwidth.org/), and I strongly recommend that any of the rest of you who doesn't want to lose your livejournal content do the same or back it up somewhere. I haven't heard anything specific about livejournal and if someone more plugged in to that angle has more to say I'd love to hear it; but as an amateur political scientist who has been closely following recent developments, knowing that the livejournal servers are located in Russia and not only has Russian censorship ramped up to Soviet era levels but the connection between Russia and the rest of the world on MOST social media platforms has already been severed (generally from the outside cutting off Russia but I'd imagine it could happen vice versa either as a retaliation or just asa result of some general data link obstruction thrown up), I for one am rather concerned we might lose access to livejournal. (obviously this is small potatoes compared to the incredible suffering people in Ukraine are suffering right now, as well as the loss of rights of the innocent people within Russia, but I'm just saying, from a livejournal user perspective, probably best to back this thing up).


And here's a flag meme I made. Same old Soviet repression classic, but now in corrupt capitalism flavor!

Also I've been posting a daily "news roundup" every morning about the war in Ukraine on facebook, which my friends seem to really like. I've started crossposting it to medium on a friend's recommendation though I'm still unconvinced that anyone reads anything there. But you can see them there at https://medium.com/@kris.r.fricke

Because I happen to be posting this right now, here's today's update:
( March 12th Daily News Roundup on Russia/Ukraine )

Also also, I have finally, finally, started using twitter a bit, mainly just to retweet things so I can find them again for my own use but hey follow twitter.com/arrrghonaut for lots of tweets about noteworthy news items about the war in Ukraine.
