Welcome to the stars, intrepid traveller.

 OK, so far I've figured out the best way to watch videos without ads for free:

You can watch YouTube videos for free on the Bing website (the videos might be blurrier though). 

Posting and sharing a YouTube video to tumblr, instagram, Facebook and Twitter are the best ways to see a video for free without ads. 

If you post a link to a YouTube video on Dreamwidth, the link takes you to YouTube - which still has ads unless you pay about Fifteen Australian Dollars a month to have the ads removed. 

You can enlarge a YouTube video by left clicking your mouse arrow/cursor the square shaped button in the lower right hand side of the video. 

Click on the round button on the bottom of the video to fast forward or reverse/go back to a previous part of a YouTube video. :)

You need to take breaks between exercise sessions to avoid muscle and joint damage. Too much muscle and joint damage makes it difficult or impossible to walk, stand, do housework or even work - especially if your job involves a lot of standing or walking.

 It is Time to Improve Bisexual Representation in Storytelling — OnStage Blog

The Hayes Code is rules for filmmakers on how to portray lgbt people and harmfully portrayed lgbt people as dying violent deaths or as villains. 

Portrayal of the harmful cheating bisexual stereotype and trope has existed in popular literary fiction such as Le Fanu's Carmilla and Stoker's Dracula (200 years ago), although this harmful trope became legal in Hollywood films in the 1930s onwards. 

Dreamwidth staff are so nice, explaining everything they're doing to update the website and apologising when the changes they make are harder on people. <3

 Looks like Twitter is malfunctioning for real and crashing constantly...

 Using tag words in Dreamwidth is pretty easy. I just type in whatever word I want that describes the post, like 'movies' or 'books', in the Tags: section when I post. I have over 30 tag words, but the most popular ones are on the left of the screen when you look at my Dreamwidth blog page. I just use up to three tag words nowadays for each Dreamwidth post. No more than three. That way, it saves me time, and I can find my own posts easily. 

 Posting photos and videos on Dream Width tends to work if the photos and videos are public. If they're private, they don't always show up. 

I find that posting photos is much easier than posting videos, because videos take longer to upload to Dream Width (they can take a few minutes or half an hour, depending on whether you have a fast internet connection and how long the video is). The longer a video is, the longer it takes to upload it to any website, including Dream Width. 

 My Dream Width profile is nice but pretty long. I'm thinking of shortening it to make it easier to read. But I'm not sure which parts to cut out. It mentions all my interests. I think I'll leave the tag words of my interests alone, but I'm planning to make my profile biography shorter.
