I keep meaning to go through my blog and move stuff off Flickr. I don't have anywhere near that amount of content, and I'm still finding the prospect intimidating! I haven't actively blogged in a while, but I've been wanting to start again because I miss the process of reflecting on my making that writing gave me. I kind of need to figure out a new domain name, though, because my current one has my deadname in it, so there's that gumming up the works also. (The name change thing is massively awkward. I've been actively avoiding posting on Instagram because I need to update my name there and make a post that yes, it's still me, new name/new pronouns. Which no one will see because I haven't been posting so the algorithm will now hide all my posts forevermore.)
It is a big task...over a decade of posts to move photos. I try to just focus on a chunk at a time and not the whole thing. And it helps to have a spreadsheet where I can track how I'm getting on. (Not as far as I'd hoped, because it's boooring!)😂
Do you have to make a big announcement on Instagram? Maybe just start posting again with the new name and if anyone asks then you can explain it? Maybe most people will figure it out themselves? (I did when I saw the name change on Substack. 🙂) I don't know what the 'protocol' is when you transition..? x
Maybe start with the domain, get a new one of those and get the ball rolling.😁

Also -- I've really appreciated seeing your RageStitching series!
Thank you! It's never ending considering how politicians et al keep doing enraging things! 😂🙄
I like your rage stitching. Do you know the Profanity Embroidery Group? They're very sweary, but rather fun. You can find them on Facebook.
Thank you! Yes, I do know the PEG, they're fabulous! 😁
