So hey, did you know that posting consistently on social media when you have executive function issues is, like, a nightmare?

The social media grind...

yeah it's made me slow down a lot on using social media a lot.

part of The Algorithm right now is that platforms are boosting reels/shortform vid and suppressing other things intentionally, it's very calculated which is so frustrating

because yes it's just. so much thought and energy for such a crapshoot of success that has nothing to do with the actual substance of your content

What Is The Point, but also, if you DONT do it where does that leave you

god i fucking feel this. i’m slowly exiting art for a job because im finally admitting that i just don’t have what it takes to keep up with The Algorithms

gotta get out now before i’m a fully burned out shell of a human

Ain'tpril : Bingo. It's a no-win situation unless you happen to get lucky.

zee : You're not the only artist I've heard saying that in the past few months.

grim 😭

That said, I did sign up for Cara, so... there's that?

Or rather's, here's this

im not even trying anymore

i gave up, if my circle likes my art and that causes it to grow then so be it

i am in too much pain to try to keep up and im not enjoying myself

it's also fucking with people's self esteems to not get attention like. it's grim

It's SO fucking grim

I'm really hoping Cara takes off, if for no other reason than having a community network focused on art and artist needs would be really nice right now
