Coming back to blogging, not that any of us ever left, feels like more of a kinder, softer landing rather than a circuitous pattern of CMS abuse I keep telling myself it is.
It’s been a “privilege” growing up alongside the rest of the internet (LOL how am I solidly in my 30s), and I miss being able to express opinions and humor without getting screamed at by trolls and Trump supporters. So damn it, I’m remaking my own corner of the internet, preferably without a comments section .
I promise to not let this spiral into a #preppy lifestyle blog, and keep it more of an amalgamation of personal writing, stuff I’ve found interesting online (considering that’s where I spend the vast majority of my time), and niche content I gravitate towards that necessarily wouldn’t get placement in a more significant publication.
This platform is partly so I can still get the instant gratification of hitting publish while working on longer-form work that won’t see the light of day for a while, but mostly because I’m nostalgic for personal blogs. They were fun! And we need more fun, especially right now.
