hello!
This is where I will share thoughts I have. I'm not sure exactly what I will post here, but I'm glad I found Bear. After deleting Instagram, and going a month or two with no social media, I've been spending more time just "browsing the web", like I did many moons ago in my middle school and high school days. I regularly journal, and thought, "hey why don't I start a blog somewhere"? I already have a substack, but even that platform is too complex, and I've found it showing me more and more feeds that suck me into short form content. I felt at a loss, and nostalgic for the simpler Internet days of my youth.
The name "alieniloquy" is a word I discovered in high school, not sure where or how. It means "rambling or evasive thoughts", and, despite my worry that sometimes those descriptors can have slightly negative connotations, understood the word more in just how my mind works as I'm thinking about things. Strands of thoughts winding their way through space, bumping into each other, with no real order or meaning, until I snag one and bring it into focus. I had abandoned the term as an Internet moniker for about a decade, as I was using Instagram and my own name. Hence, with the sudden intentional absence of Instagram in my life, figured I would start by using this term again, for my corner of the Internet. It doesn't imply a theme, it just is. Rambling, evasive, sometimes coming around to a new point or subject. No pressure.
