three reasons i’m starting a blog

1. i’m a tumblr girly at heart. i got the email that my blog has lived eight years already and i thought that explains plenty about me. 

2. tiktok scares me. the way it sucks my time away, the discourse, the way you can one day wake up radicalized without noticing just because your algorithm got messed up. i hate the way that it knows what i text to my mom in the middle of the night. i hate that knowing that it knows doesn’t stop me from using it. 

3. i’m a ghost in conversation. i flit from group to group, i smile just past the camera. on the page i’m a person. i always have been.
