Hello, world!

I want to get back into writing and blogging, which is something I’ve dabbled in many past lives.

I’ve internalized a lot of my thoughts, and my day-to-day life in many ways. Much of my work and life is intentionally lived offline, especially when working on the margins of electoral politics and social justice spaces. I was always better at uplifting the work of other people and organizations, and in a way, didn’t leave much space for others to know more about me.

And because I miss the old days of RSS feeds and late 2000’s Tumblr, maybe it’s a good practice for me to start writing more. While I admire the visual aesthetic of Instagram / Tik-Tok, I simply don’t have the patience to type and edit things on my phone (screen addiction is something I’ve detoxed from my life since the 2020 pandemic, and my consumption of social media is very minimal).

(Not to mention my deeply-seated body positivity issues that makes me tense up when I am in photographs or videos - that’s why I like being a photographer so much, I have a default excuse to not be in actual content.)

I don’t actually expect anyone to read this. This primarily will be a diary of my life, to digitally preserve the chaos and serenity of my life. One day my precious nephews will grow up and maybe this site will be still around to show them why their crazy f-uncle is the way he is. That’ll be a good reason as any.

Much love,
Tim
