Dilemma (DW-only)

[rhivolution]

So for a while I had a different persona when I did social justice stuff, because this was somewhat pre-Dreamwidth and I didn't really know how to integrate that into my LJ, etc.

And I made some nifty friends there, but as I've integrated SJ into fandomness and RLness, I sort of stopped using that name and fell into lurking (partially due to time constraints with grad school, partially to do with a lack of spoons). And now I run into people I know from there all the time and I want to be like O HAI, YOU ARE ACE, but it doesn't work that way. Especially since I sort of disappeared.

Sigh.

So I guess my question is...how do I come out? Do I come out at all?

Be direct? Say, HI I USED TO BE [name] JUST FYI. I DIDN'T HAVE MANY SPOONS BUT I'M BACK IN BLACK NOW. WITH SPOONS, OF COURSE.

I VOTE THIS.

AND SUPPORT THE USE OF CAPS LOCK.

I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH THIS WITH MOAR CAPSLOCK ACTION.

I think people are pretty understanding about time constraints, academic commitments and spoons; social justice stuff can be draining. I doubt anyone would object to being told they're ace.
