Small Things Can Still Exist

Yes, my first article here on Bluesky was in English, and it was posted on Offprint.

Offprint is lovely in theory, but in practice it started feeling almost identical to Substack. At some point it became strange to keep posting there when I already had a Substack sitting in the corner, looking at me like an unpaid invoice.

And Substack itself has felt odd lately. I am still there, technically. But also not really. Even when I find good writing, I keep noticing how many of the smart, interesting women who made the place feel alive have stopped posting, stopped talking, or simply faded into the background.

So I am there, but I do not quite live there anymore.

And I need somewhere to write in English, too.

So maybe I will give this format here a chance.

Not because I am coming to you with a small trembling bowl, asking you to please read me. I am really not. This is more selfish than that. I need somewhere to put things, and I will put them somewhere either way.

I also do not want to pretend this is going to become some grand, serious, important long-form project. It probably will not.

Think of it more as longer notes. Things that are not essays yet. Things that may never become essays. Small thoughts that are too long for a post, too unfinished for a publication, and too persistent to keep sitting in my drafts.

They do not have to become important.

They can simply exist.
