There’s no room to create quietly anymore. To write just for the sake of it. Everything has to sell itself, and if it doesn’t, it fades into obscurity.
I wish it were simple enough to get all my posts off IG so as not to lose it all, and shut it down. I've stopped creating bc of what it's all turned into, what so many turn into. It's not a community in its truest sense when agendas thrive and smother. To commune is to care and make space for difference, learning and insight, but that seems lost now. Evaporated into algorithms and engagement clicks. It's an illusion. I can create quietly, alone. And that's as far as it goes. It all fades into obscurity anyway. I'm glad you're here.
I erased the Sunday Mornings' IG yesterday. Carefully curated square grid, just destroyed by IG because they want to be TikTok, it shows how much they disrespect their users. I spent years on that grid and growing that audience. The only reasonable thing left for me to do was to pull the plug. I want real connections, and I am already getting sick of the noise that came to substack. The notes system is like twitter. I fucking hate the subscriber counts. I will focus on building my own websites and nurturing those. I am happy you are here too.
