Hello, from my new Blog!

Hi everyone!

I’m starting this blog because I am sort of over social media for the moment, specifically Instagram. My art posts have less and less engagement every time, sometimes barely even reaching my followers. This, I am sure, is due to shadow-banning from my outspokenness against antisemitism as well as support for transgender rights on my account. While shadow-banning is annoying, it is not the only reason I’m moving from Instagram for the time being. Recently, I have found myself with more anxiety than I can handle, seeing all of the nasty things that people are posting, including the support of violence, misinformation, and just overall bullying. All of this, combined with stressors in my life in general, has led me to step back for my own mental health. This all does not mean that I will not be creating or sharing my work with others, it just means that I’d like a more authentic space to do so.

ENTER: my blog!

I had the idea to start my blog while I was editing my website, since I completely forgot that I could add one on here (oops!). I realized that this could be the perfect place to share my art, have meaningful discussions about inspirations or whatever else, and to reach an audience that is genuinely interested in all of that. I’m hoping to still share my editing videos on my YouTube channel, but I will be sharing them here as well to go along with an image or discussion.

I’d also love to hear feedback of what others would like to see, so please let me know in the comments. I’m so excited to start sharing more authentically!
