thank you for all you've shared on ig! i found your account in 2016 and it helped set me on a path toward becoming an archivist. so now that i am an archivist (lol), i'm wondering - will you preserve your account and/or the images & text? (fwiw - i don't think you should feel obligated to do so! just curious.)
omg, that's incredible! i'm not deleting the account. i've always argued social media is fleeting - i never saw it as an actually lasting archive (you'd know more about that than me). i'll keep it up for the memories. i actually did a 7min tiktok walking down herstory IG memory lane yesterday :)
bravo! with herstory and personals both you really created magic. and that platform just isn’t conducive to magic anymore. but ✨you✨ are. thank you for sharing all the things!
Wow. 136K followers, which cost you so much work over years. This is brave but also, I understand and appreciate the sense of liberation you talk about. In the same time, this shows something crucial: Instagram owns your contacts, not you. If you quit, you cannot take them with you. In Substack instead, you own your audience.

aw yay! just watched the tiktok, love it -- and glad you’re leaving the account available in the ephemeral ig realm <3

thank you lindsey! you're so kind to say this, i needed to hear it. platforms can mess with your mind!
Also did this with over 100k followers recently. The cons do end up outweighing the pros for many of us.
I feel free
Hell yes <3 Welcome
Thanks Cody!! We were IG buds back in the day
We really were :) Your account was a huge part of my homosexual awakening! It was there when I needed it
❤️🔥❤️🔥 I love this. Thank you for sharing - pumped to have you as a Sub bud now 😝
You did it.
I love it
