Philosophy
I’ve always wanted to run my own blog. It took me an embarrassingly long time to get over the anxiety of publishing publicly anywhere. Thank goodness social media forced this to be the norm. We’ve come a long way from myspace and xanga pages to tumblr to instagram and tiktok. My interest in tech began at a young age thanks to having a close relative working at motorola bringing me into work and later setting up my first computer for me. I truly believe myspace taught a whole generation html and neopets taught me everything else. I originally created whiskynoir during a turning point in my relationship with society, a time when I was required to both question everything about myself and learn to trust myself for the first time. I spent so much of my life harboring an image of myself from the commentary of those around me that I drowned myself in the noise. Now I’d like to put TT together myself. This space will be my own personal archive, loose in structure but firm in intent. I’ve come to the conclusion that instagram, facebook, snapchat, and the like are not for me because they are so limiting. I’m excited to put more time into this space because of the creative freedom a whole damn website allows... so, thank you for reading this far and keep in touch!
