I won't be abandoning social media, but I will be very much limiting what I share here. To help keep friends and family up to date on my personal life I have setup an email newsletter. I encourage you to do the same, and I will happily subscribe to it. It will give you agency outside of social media, while helping your friends and family keep up with what is happening. It doesn't have to be a production or amazing work each week -- It just has to be you. https://buttondown.com/kin-lane/archive/a-week-of-being-kin-lane-january-26th-2024/
