Hello! Welcome! Have a seat, let me introduce my blog.
I'm here to write and read and enjoy the Bear Blog community; same as you, I imagine. I write to learn, to share, to cope, to feel a sense of control. I write because I am a writer. It's in my core. It's who I am.
This year, I've become a professional writer—like, actual income! It's part-time and I still have to sell my soul for 40 hours every week, but not only am I earning money, it's a super-solid wage for a writing job (for any job, really)—AND it's meaningful work for me! I want more than anything to write full-time, and I'm trying really hard to find a job that'll work. There are lots of challenges, but I'm hopeful that I'll get there.
Most of my posts will probably be about politics—I sort of eat, sleep, and breathe politics. Call me a masochist; it's my passion. I'm sure there will be some random musings, theories, and venting. In spite of all of the blogging advice I've ever received and internalized, I'm not committing to a niche. My Bestie has proven to me that free-form is way cooler.
Yes, I use the em dash and no, it's not AI. I won't let the machines steal my art, and em dashes are one of the crayons in my box.
