I imported, both because it was easier to have access to my old posts over there and because it's a convenient way to back up those posts. My intention is to move over there permanently, so for now I'm crossposting with comments turned off here, in order to accommodate those friends who haven't (yet?) moved.

My name change was just because it was a name that I had originally wanted. It's not that I want to redefine my identity even though I know that some people do.
