I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep β€œhow did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like β€œI didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

my website needs to be a bit of a workhorse so it's kind of expensive, which sucks (not crazy but definitely not nothing). I totally get not wanting/being able to pay for it, but there are free/inexpensive options out there! the trick is getting eyeballs on it, which is very very hard.

big same. there were SO many reasons not to have a site and rely on social media only, and if you are in your early/mid-twenties this is probably your first experience with a big internet ecosystem collapse like that. meta/twit made solely relying on your own websites nonviable anyway, by design.

I'm glad I've had one the whole time (selling prints mostly, thank goodness I hated etsy from the get-go) because it made the switch from frequent small posts on socials to a few big posts on my own blog/newsletter very easy. reach is GARBAGE but honestly not a whole lot different from IG anyway lol

This print is my response to seeing invasive dog-strangling vine (European swallowwort, Vincetoxicum rossicum) popping up all over my neighbourhood. 🐑πŸ§ͺ Not only do these plants create dense stands that outcompete native plants but they threaten the monarch butterfly which depends on milkweed πŸ¦‹πŸ§΅1/

i sweat a ton (used to be more, also due to meds) and i have a tendency toward low blood pressure (not recently but when i was in good shape i would see stars every time i stood up) so on hot sunny days drinking water just gives me a woozy headache. i probably do need a salt lick handy somewhere.

i love coming of age stories and being in my 30s, having a kid etc. made me realize you β€œcome of age” like at least half a dozen times throughout your life. the later ones just don’t get told nearly as often and that’s a shame.

most importantly, i think, i’ve made a TON of new friends in the last year. like. my entire network is entirely different now. that wouldn’t have happened without having to move platforms. idk maybe i’m just lucky but it feels nice to finally see some social dividends from putting in the work.

i think there’s a part of me that feels like it’s actually healthy for the ecosystem to shake things up a bit. make everyone start β€œfrom scratch” again (it’s never β€œfrom scratch” when you have an existing following but a shakeup makes it easier to squirm in when you don’t)

where i’m at in my career (aka not on top of the world/socials lol sorry friends who were) i genuinely kind of don’t mind the occasional levelling of the playing field. it has been SO vindicating, confirming that it had nothing to do with quality of my work, it was the algorithm working against me.
