#DidYouKnow? 🤠 #CountryLineDancing became popularized by #70sdisco but originated in the 1950s #AmericanWest, when the folk dances of European #immigrants met the influence of #country and #western music! 🎶 Also, no idea which #linedance my body remembers, but Will Smith’s #WildWildWest brought it out of me! 😂 Do you know this dance? • • • #historyfunfacts #countryroots #linedancing #meltingpot #disco #country #folk #funfacts #americanhistory #dance #dancehistory #countrygirl #desertgirl #westerngirl #western #jumpsuitbaby

Bitch, I said what I said. 💅🏼 Part 1/2: Addressing #cowards who want me to speak up more — but won’t even like my shit in public. Don’t get me wrong. I have compassion for your cowardice. I understand your livelihood may be at stake, as well as your social survival and sense of community. But I won’t always take the fall for the silent agreement of many when you, who love what I post, are too scared of its backlash to even follow me from your public account. Some of you are not cowards. You are erring on the side of silence because of other deeply thought-out reasons. I get that and this message is not for you. It’s mostly for the keyboard warriors, far-Leftists, and religious conservatives who follow me and are simply afraid to say they agree with me in public because it means losing their social belonging and possibly endangering their livelihoods. “But I’ll lose my job.” I’m self-employed. My living hinges on being likable, too. I’m still willing to lose money and popularity for what I see as keeping my integrity. For those who appreciate such acknowledgements: No, I am not a parent. I have the luxury of sharing my perspectives unencumbered by the fear of how I’m going to support a family if I get fired for stating a “wrong” opinion. I know several people currently working for companies that are staunchly on one side of the Israel-Palestine war. These friends have received memos stating such — implying that if they voice a public opinion that is “not in alignment with company values,” they risk being fired. By all means, private companies should have the right to enforce no-politics policies in the workplace. But to threaten job loss if an employee voices an opinion outside of work-related accounts, in their personal life… I understand why many of you are rightfully scared. But I am, too. So don’t ask me to keep saying more of what you can’t even whisper while you hide behind your anonymous account. #freespeech #cowardice #freethinker #freethinking #exfundamentalist #cancelculture #anticancelculture #freethought #criticalthinking #tribalism
If you’ve been requesting #audio versions of my #blogposts, you’re in luck! Introducing, “Unaccountable with Alice Greczyn,” for people who like to think too hard. 🧠 It’s FREE and connected to my #Substack, so if you’re already a subscriber, there’s nothing more you need to do! If you’re not a subscriber yet but have enjoyed hearing me on #podcasts, I’m delighted to be launching this one of my own. 🥰 It’ll just be me reading essays aloud for now, but who knows… So many of you have asked me to start a podcast that maybe I’ll share other thoughts, and possibly even interviews. I’ll be recording new essays and re-recording old ones over the next several weeks. 🎧 Whether you’re a busy parent, a professional road-tripper, or just someone who likes listening to podcasts, I’m so pleased to offer you the option of taking in my perspectives via this new format. 👉🏼 Link in bio to 🖋️ Unaccountable, where the first podcasted essay is up: “My Public Silence on Palestine and Israel.” (Nothing like launching off the deep end.) Note: I will not be engaging here on social media about this blog post (or 🎧 podcast episode, if you prefer). I would love to engage in the comments section of Substack, where people are more likely to behave respectfully when they can read my thoughts and others’ comments in full. This is to keep Instagram a place I want to keep showing up. Because I’m thiiiiiisclose sometimes to just deleting! 😂 Thanks for respecting my boundaries and for letting me in your eardrums! 🎧😘

Otter Pops and Pixy Stix. Rock candy so pretty you save it for weeks until the melts it into your nightstand. Soaps of rosette you aren’t supposed to use, and you understand why. They’re too pretty pink to grime with playground hands. Life will be a pizza party one day, you think, hypnotized by the rhythmic whir of the ceiling fan. And you won’t need to mark your leftovers with an ‘A’ because all the stuffed crust will be all yours, just for you, and your bedroom will be painted lime green and you won’t have to keep Savage Garden a secular secret. Although…the lyrics could be about God. You could argue that if you need to. 💚💚💚 #MorningThoughts of #90s #nostalgia, when ceiling fan gazing was what we did instead of iPad scrolling, and #OtterPops were second only to Squeezits as a hot weather treat.
Part 2/2 Medically-assisted #euthanasia: What if the person is *not* terminally ill? Are you in favor of legalizing #assistedsuicide for those who suffer #mentalillness but are not terminally ill? Or do you think it should be illegal? Here’s the second part to my video (didn’t know Reels cut off at 90 seconds when I posted the first part) where I share why I am in favor of #medicallyassisteddeath, aka, #compassionatecare, #deathwithdignity, and #assistedsuicide—even in cases where the patient is not terminally ill. #NotesFromMyNotes #zorayaterbeek #medicallyassisteddeath #euthanasia #death #dying #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #moraldilemma #ethics #philosophy #existentialism #nihilism #suicideprevention #terminalillness

#OOTD: Supreme x Lana del Rey 🦢 A special someone fitted me out. Told him I gave up purses in the pandemic and never went back, because I learned shoulder and neck pain are optional. It’s been the #fannypacklife for me ever since. (Oh, and that’s a swan on my #LanadelRey #babytee that I’m blocking. He bought me that, too, because he knows I’m a fan. #spoiled) Follow me for more #agingMillennial style tips, because I’m over suffering unless it’s worth it—like Schiaparelli worth it. #sayyestoheaven #saynotopurses

⚠️ Warning: Being alive has negative effects on people. Gonna be sharing more of my random thoughts from my Notes App. Can’t promise I’m always sober when I write them. Hope you like sardonic humor now that my last poll established my penchant for the obscure. Hope you like nihilism. 😘 Fuck the algo. I’m gonna let it lean into me. #notesfrommynotes #cheerfulnihilism

What social media marketing coaches don’t tell you… 📰 If you feel like you’re getting contradicting and ineffective advice, you are. I see so many coaches exhorting us to show up #authentically in order to grow our followings—and, if we’re promoting something that makes us money, to grow our bank accounts. Yet we’re also being told to niche ourselves. If you’ve realized that showing up authentically loses you more followers than you gain, I’m here to affirm that! 😂 You’re not crazy and you’re probably like me: not good at “authentically” showing up as only one piece of yourself. “Be authentic,” and, “Niche yourself,” are, to many of us, utterly paradoxical. Compartmentalizing yourself to please others—and an algorithm—will help you grow. You will gain followers and your business will flourish faster. You will be more liked, more engaged with, and more purchased from when you focus on a singular aspect of who you are that is relevant to what you’re selling, whether it’s information through a podcast or products through affiliate links. But I personally do not call this being authentic. I call this marketing. This gets especially tricky when your business is, in and of itself, multi-faceted. Many of my friends are intellectuals. Their podcasts, Patreons, and YouTube channels are broad-ranging from health and spirituality (hello, @CurioCityPod) to news (hello, @BrigidaDag) to politics (hello, @PuntersPolitics). These latter two categories are not even being pushed by algorithms anymore. So what do big-picture thinkers and multi-faceted creatives like us do? Not gonna lie, what I’ve found is pretty discouraging. If you’ve been trying to implement #socialmedia #marketing advice to all but zero growth, you’re not alone. 👉🏼 Link in bio to read the rest of my latest blog post on #Unaccountable!

Looking ahead to #perimenopause! 👀 Just shared some accounts in my stories that I’ve been leaning from, including: @satinephoenix @fiftyfitnessjourney @deborahandersoncreative / @thewyldsage @drmaryclaire …but, of course, I need more because I’m a rabbit hole learner! 🤓 If you’re an #oldermillennial or #genxwoman—or you just happen to know some great accounts worth following related to #menopause, #premenopause, #postmenopause, etc.—drop ‘em here in the comments, please!! 🙏🏼 #aging #biohacking #womenshealth
