I'm bringing blogging back

I'm sharing this with a moody bathroom selfie so it still feels like IG for you lover

I've been so convinced by the influencer era that I needed to be on social media creating content that I forgot I'd actually rather curate experiences and evoke emotions. I miss the days of writing long form, sharing whatever the fuck I want & not even considering the god forsaken algorithm. I've been so wrapped up in templates, graphics, engagement, insights, forcing myself to create when I just wanted to collect or explore. I miss being a writer with something to say. Now I just feel like a ghost posting selfies for red hearts as a humiliation riutal.

I don't want my magazine articles posted in a grid, girlie pop. I want them cut up on my real vision board--not just my Pinterest board. The images, quotes and viral moments I love online are still being printed and published & I won't miss a thing if I step away from the feed for something more filling and nutritious. Speaking of GLP-1's, yes, I've succumbed to that trend as well. But I'm just micro-dosing--like I do with my hallucinogenics. I could probably share that on TikTok and go viral but why tf would I do that when I could just simply not. TikTok is for dropping vague hints about the lore...about random cutie vids.

Anyways, I miss the intentional sit & write required with the blogging. Since the 2000's are back, so is blogging. Not even vlogging--that's been over done. We're now officially weeding out the illiterate and asinine. I refuse to shallow myself back to an algorithm, an optimized or a set of random insights about onlookers I could give less of a fuck about. I'm no longer blocking words for my peace I'm just deleting apps, babe. "Appstinence" is what the Silicon Valley vampires are calling it. Whatever, lets coin a strange compound word to reference a real time in life when noone was concerned with platforming themselves and the performers were easy to spot. That's where I live now.

I've been meaning to write here for literal months but I've bee so worried about what my homepage should look like that I forgot that the blog could be the homepage. No fluff, no headshots. Every post is my about me. Every post is my newsletter. The blog is my feed now. Anyways, it's past the time I should be drinking coffee so it feels like a good time to have a glass red wine.

Adios, for now. XO Q
