Does anyone ELSE actually use this site for non-rp anymore?
I was like ah, let me make some kind of profound first entry into blogging again after giving it up for nearly 10 years in lieu of journal rp and then the collective hivebrain of social media. I feel like my formative years really getting into the internet were influenced by blogging. Now we have Twitter, the Musk-flavored cesspool of the aggressively conservative meets the chronically online; Instagram, dominated by teenagers and celebrities and mommy bloggers; Facebook, which, no, never; Tumblr, the shining beacon of fandom inclusivity that just... doesn't quite meet the mark for anything other than ADHD brain. I still use Instagram because the artistic presence on it is good, and I have a bluesky account Just In Case, but where does that put me for actually writing? Barring likes and an occasional Patreon subscription I really don't have any desire for an online presence that can be linked directly to my face. A hundred accounts sit unused. Just in case.
I guess I just want a place to get thoughts out, in a form that was intended for such, with the option of comments and actual communication. I'm tired of pictures and reblogs and retweets and Likes and Saves and Shares. So I'm just gonna wing it.
What's the worst that could happen?
