My First Bear Post
Hello Bear!
I am a bloated internet/AI escapee looking for a simple landing space. Recent searching for something, turning over rocks and leaf piles, yielded nothing, but as life goes, Bear popped up one day when I clicked a link on a book blog to another book blog that was hosted here.
And now I am here!
I've been blogging for the entirety of my millennial adult life. Blogs were our bread and butter, what we grew up on, before social media became the all-consuming behemoth that it is today.
Blogs taught me photography, inspired me to travel, recommended me the best books, music, etc.
I'm returning to that eco-system of RSS feeds, email subscriptions, and blogs by humans that aren't trying to sell me something.
Something else too! Most of the internet direction has gone the way of niching down rather than generalist blogs. I remember when blogs were about the person and they had all sorts of interests on one - lifestyle, van camping, photos, books, health, etc. All in one! Nowadays, blogs are more about one specific niche, making it a bit less personal to whoever the author is. Humans don't just do one thing - well maybe some do - but many of us are multi-faceted. We have more than one thing going on in our lives.
And I'm tired of having a blog, social media accounts, emails for each of my interests. That's too many passwords to remember!
So, I'm coming back to something that is all in one.
If you like reading speculative fiction, non-fiction, taking photos, traveling, thinking, listening to all kinds of music, and gardening then this blog would be a good place to stick around :)
