Community recs: non-fannish

I know, fandom's a lot of fun.  But Dreamwidth isn't only about fandom!  So let's spread some love.  Here are my favorite non-fannish DW communities--comment with yours!

[site community profile] dw_nifty : all the cool features about Dreamwidth that you might not otherwise find out about.

[community profile] fucking_meds : a place for people to complain (and share information about) meds they're on.
[community profile] actyourwage : so, we're all feeling the pinch, right?  This is a place to share hints on how to live within a budget.  It's about taking control of your finances and strategies for money saving and getting out of debt
[community profile] asperger 
[community profile] homeeconomics101 : Tips and tricks regarding cleaning/budgeting/cooking...
[community profile] napowrimo : the DW com for National Poetry Writing Month.  Dead for now, but wait until next April.
[community profile] poetry : A community for sharing published poetry.  (I.e. your favorite stuff to read that you'd like to share, not stuff you wrote yourself.  Though I'm sure there's a com out there for poetry writing, too.)

Some of these are kind of quiet, but that may change with the influx of new people.  What about you guys?

Thanks for posting up homeeconomics101, I'm moving out soon and living at uni so I'll need all the help I can get. :P

I joined [community profile] art, but I am not posting yet because of the inability to upload images directly.

Now, Photobucket, Flickr, etc. are options, BUT. If I post there, I have to attach my Real Name to everything or risk making image theft way, way too easy. Yet, the whole reason I'm at DW is so I can have an Actual Private Journal and not have Facebook or Google or whoever feels like it/accidentally clicks the wrong button connecting Real Name and Journal Name for all the world to see.

So I haven't found a balance yet. When I do, I'll see y'all on the Art comm.

[community profile] iconfinder: a community for everyone who is looking for specific icons and would like some pointers on where to look for them.

[community profile] la_tex: a place where you can discuss LaTeX with other users; LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system frequently used for scientific and mathematical writing.

[community profile] linux4all: a community for "the newly curious, old-skool tinkerers, and anyone who would like to try an alternative to a Microsoft or Mac created system".
