Hi, I’m Maria
🌻 After 20+ years of creating content through every era of social media, having my own personal site again feels like “coming home”. Welcome! Learn more about me.
Also Known As…
Watermarks are from my old blog BEAUTYANDABITE (closed in 2019).
Algorithmic Social Media:
My “Why”
I hate today’s internet.
I miss how it used to be before algorithms ruled our days. When we’d call it the World Wide Web, The Information Highway. The screech of a dial-up modem. Oh, the future was going to be so bright.
But here we are. “Going online” is rarely a fun activity in 2026, analog media is making a comeback and AI slop is oozing out of every platform. Who knew we’d end up being nostalgic for the chat rooms and personal pages.
Alas, I can only control myself.
So I’m here to share what I’ve learned about people, how we use the internet, consume, create content and how it shapes the modern world. All right here in my very own, algorithm-free space. Welcome <3
