Time to bloom again

The need for fresh energy and a bit of change

I think I’m not the only one who feels tired of Instagram. Their race with TikTok for video content, and ridiculous witch hunt on creatives who pursue topics of sexuality and nudity (but leaving the main-stream soft porn accounts aside, because they are clickbaits and make them money) made me think it all through. I still want to be in touch with you, I want to keep the community alive. But I simply see that it’s not possible on Instagram anymore. Majority of my posts are not even shown to the people who follow me, as cat and dog videos are more important. And OK, I get that, we all love them. But I still would like to be able to talk to you, get your feedback and keep conversation going.

I’m very new to Substack, so bear with me if it’s not going to be a smooth ride. But I think there are enough positives to give it a try:

• you decide if you see my content, not algorithm - you can either read it in your email inbox or on Substack website/app

• we have a chat - I started asking for brief intros, it would be nice to know who’s here and what we’re interested in

• the nipples are free here, hallelujah! No stupid censorship needed.

It’s spring and I feel like I want to bloom again. But I need a rebirth and it seems like it’s only possible with a bit of a change. I’m not going to quit Instagram entirely, but I will post much more often here.

What emotions this spring brings to you?
