I've decided to switch to another account with a new name and PFP.
I originally started using SW again, after EP shut down, when I moved from Denmark to Ukraine because I wanted to blog about my experiences here – everything was super weird and different to me, and even though I have lived here for around 7-8 years now, I still get surprised from time to time. Anyways, my posts that had any mentality other than American were often met with ignorance, but whatever, there were always a couple of cool people too.
When the war started, that's when everything went to crap, because now my posts were regarded as political topics. 🤦🏼♀
I can genuinely say I have not enjoyed blogging about living Ukraine since that day, and certain types of people use the details I share about my personal life as ammunition in petty keyboard-warrior battles that I do not even consider myself a part of. 🙄
This is why I've decided to switch to a new account, on which I do not mention my personal life at all. I don't know what I'll blog about exactly, but probably just creative stuff.
The people who know me somewhat well will likely notice who I am, but I will not link my new name and picture to this account. I don't intend to outright hide that I live in Ukraine as I still want to upload photos, but I won't discuss my country of residence in comments or on my profile.
I think it's a shame that SW is as Americanized as it is, instead of being a space where everyone around the world can feel comfortable, but in the end of the day I've been here for so long that I just don't see myself leaving.
If you see my new profile and recognize me, feel free to ask in DMs if it's me. 😽
