Posts of the Future

[quarter_to_five]

Because of the friending meme, i'm sort of hopping around a looking at a lot of people's journals, rather than just seeing posts come up on the feed. And many have intro posts that are dated 2015 or 2030 or whatever so that they stick to the top. So, what if we all vanish (like, all humans. Or less dramatically, I suppose, gradually stop using DW) and then an alien comes along and opens someones reading list way in the future and there will be just this quiet drift of intro posts, the present catching up with them. Unmoored, as it were, like lost fishing boats.

Yeah, I'm reading "The World Without Us".

(Thanks for reminding me that crossposts to LJ do not automatically have that "don't put on reading pages" checked. >__>)

Our profiles, too, will continually say that we're in our 20s or 50s or 80s. A very quiet and small kind of immortality, bit out of place in a book about aliens disquietingly close enough and curious enough about how we work to open our journals.
