Morning Musing on How Blogging Is In Its Redlining Era
Luvlies, Good morning. My blog is kinda phucked. Luv Laney Luv survived 12 months of hacking, 3 years of bot attacks, multiple server changes, page deletions, false starts, and a slew of other internet messes. Now, Ai search engines are here, making a mess of things, and I don’t know how to work around this.
The Blogosphere has been redlined.
The traffic lights have been removed, the street signs have vanished, and we now live next to the internet highway. There is nowhere for people to stop, turn the corner, or pull-in to grab a quick coffee on my blogging street. The roadside diners are empty and even the drive thru windows are closed.
People will only stop at the big gas stations that have paid ads on the road to search engines.
The makeshift lemonade stands the children built have been kicked over by those policing the digital neighborhood.
We’re cooked. Those of us who have been blogging for years, have to move to the city of Substack (or Facebook) to find new ‘friends’. It’s awful cuz it feels like we’re the Olds, driving around in a white van, asking the kids if they want to see our puppy. Creepy AF.
NO WAIT!! … We’re the Oldies trying to get in da Clurb. We have to get gussied up to go back on the market after years of living the happy, quirky single life.
Today, I’m looking through my closet with nothing to wear but stained t-shirts and business casual jeggings. My pants don’t fit, this girdle cuts off my blood supply, and my 10 year old lipstick is giving me a rash…
PHUCKIN’ Ai!!!!!!
And where are the old SEO doormen? Will they help us get in? Who even owns this bar?
I have to start again. I’ve got to get back out there and introduce my blog to people who might hate my weird.
The streets are saying ‘Post 10x times a day’ or ‘make 1.5H videos & six shorts every week‘… for FREE??? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
We’ll figure it out together, right?
Until then, I’m not breathing in my hand wondering if my breath smells bad. Imma pop a couple pieces of Juicy Fruit, stick out my newly sculpted tata’s and get my ass to work.
…and that’s time. Still here? Leave your thoughts down below.
See you soon Luvlies!
xoxo Luv Laney Luv

Morning Musing is a pomodoro-timed, free thought experiment to get back into the swing of things. No Ai added.
