(DEACTIVATED) All The Brazilian Politics
@allbrpolitics.bsky.social
A Brazilian who wanted to make as many people as confused about their country as they are. Now their watch has ended. Left-leaning, science-based, and progressive.
It's been a great ride. I wish all of you the absolute best.

Já com saudade,

No longer Mod Nise da Silveira.

I count on y'all's comprehension, and thank deeply, from the bottom of my heart, all the support and interactions I've received throughout the years. You've been a great source of constant positive reinforcement and dopamine.

But I think part of growth is leaving behind and letting go of things that no longer fit into your life, however valuable and meaningful they've been. I shall move on to other endeavours and try to contribute to our society in other ways.

The blog won't be deleted, neither here nor on the other Twitter clones nor on actual Twitter nor on Tumblr. I think I've built a valuable archive, and I don't want to shut down the possibility of coming back to blogging in the future should my context change.

Because of this and the increasing amount of responsibilities I've been taking up in my personal and professional life, I am here to make this sad and painful announcement:

I am deactivating All The Brazilian Politics.
June 11, 2025 at 5:09 PM
No proposal of monetization seemed to catch on, and the labour and time it takes to keep this blog is simply not reasonable for what comes down to be, at the end of things, a mere hobby. And that's just not an option for me anymore.
June 11, 2025 at 5:09 PM
I tried to come up with ideas. I opened up a Ko-Fi, but donations, precious as they were, were few & far between. I suggested a book club, but only one person showed interest. I suggested a subscription-based service with the content, but no one took interest.
June 11, 2025 at 5:09 PM
While All The Brazilian Politics did provide me with validation and sense of doing something important, it barely brought any material return, which is kind of crucial in a capitalist society.
June 11, 2025 at 5:09 PM
Greetings, fellow skeeters.

As explained in my last two threads, I'm unfortunately no longer in a phase of my life in which I can afford to spend 3-4 hours per day queuing 30-40 posts. Even taking breaks on Sundays didn't work, and the blog continued to eat too much of my time.
June 11, 2025 at 5:09 PM
Thanks for the attention and I apologize for anything.

Sadly,

Mod Nise da Silveira.

If I don't, and this is not clickbait, this might be my last post. I've been almost already grieving these past days, but this is my last attempt and hope.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Before I go into full research mode for my options, I first need to know: would anyone be interesting in subscribing for the content? I think I'd charge, like, R$ 20 or R$ 30, or maybe even cheaper, but I'll need to charge something.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
I'm not sure how I'd make what (I know) is essentially paywalling the blog work. Maybe making it accessible only via a password? Maybe turning it into a newsletter (but. Like. 40 news per day, fellas. That'd be the longest newsletter ever)? I don't know just yet.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
I won't delete shall I go for option 2, for I believe I have built a valuable archive here. But I'm afraid 4 hours of free labour almost every single day is not an option for my life anymore.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Straight to the point: my only options now are

1. Make the access to this blog's content paid;
2. Ending the blog
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
I suggested a book club in the last messages by the mod, but not enough people have taken interest. I've been cracking my head trying to think of alternatives, even talked to friends and my therapist (!) about it.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
There's been times I gave up on other activities and plans to spend the entire day here, and it hasn't been just a handful!
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
But I need to be honest: I'm a whole adult with quite a lot of responsibilities, and I don't think I'm at a point in my life in which a hobby can take so much of my time without any tangible, material return.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
I love and am proud of what I do here. I feel I have a good critical eye to sift through reports about what happens in this country's political scene in order to spread quality and important information, and I feel I do something important.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
While I did open up a Ko-Fi and had some lovely people donate, the monetary return hasn't been nearly enough for the labour All The Brazilian Politics demands.

I queue an average of 30 to 40 posts every day (for a few weeks I've been trying a 6x1 schedule but for long seven years it was daily), and it can eat up to four whole hours, no exaggeration.
June 9, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Greetings, fellow skeeters.

As I said in my 2nd-to-last thread, it's getting ever harder for me to juggle this blog with my other tasks (professional, personal, daily).
