Hi! I'm Bearina and I joined the IndieWeb in March 2026. Graphic- and Web Designer by day; artist, printmaker and zinester by night.
My website is built in WordPress with the Divi site builder and I'm working on a digital garden, relaunching my website and making it more accessible in the process. I'm overthinking my presence on social media and am planning to POSSE in the future.
Also working on leaving most big tech platforms. Want to degoogle (I used Android until recently), use Facebook and Instagram way less and leave WhatsApp (done, yay!), buy less on Amazon, leave Spotify (done!), etc. I switched to Apple recently though so they'll keep my data for now.
