With my years of expertise, I have decided that everything is beautifully ironic. In a strange, dystopian, screenager at 20 way, shitposting on Instagram has helped me mellow and become a happier and less anxiety-ridden person.

POST- CHALANT

On a beautiful summer day my beautiful Leebear (@Yz4yla, the nail lady) and I discussed our Instagram posting habits… just girly things. Chalant and Nonchalant get thrown around a lot in our friendship. I think it stemmed from my infamous story post (loved by all known by none) “It took me 100 years to reach medium- chalant and yet I am so far from non”.

Lee and I have similar internet humor and putting a label on it is difficult. As we kikied deeper the word post-chalant came up and ohhhhhhhh that tickled my Stephaniealaskas noggin. If you are a person with a functioning brain you may ask what is Post- Chalant? The correct question to ask. Okay so, when you’re so completely shamelessly raw and curated but at the same time dry that it is nonchalant= post-chalant. Do you get it?

Oh yeah then magic happened 

“NEW SCHOOL OF THOUGHT: POST- CHALANT”

Lee just put it all out there and described my life- maybe our life? My goal of shitposting. To implement POST-CHALANT…. The new school of thought part was just amazingly good and a perfect add-on to the already perfect phrase. But who doesn’t love a run-on sentence? You’ll come to notice I do! 

POST- PRETENTIOUS

You may be thinking ohhhh you’re such a dick Marge and so sexy but mainly pretentious. Well, I am here to tell you, you are so wrong. In the world of Post- Chalant there is no pretentiousness. We have just barely advanced past the need to perceive but also act pretentiously. Okay ready. WE HAVE REACHED POST-PRETENTIOUS. What a wonderous thing! I think people worry so much about being pretentious that as a result, they are pretentious by trying to avoid demerits on their personality. Don’t be scared to say you like “The Smiths” more than “The Cure”. Don’t be scared to rant about Seattle in the 90s. Don’t be scared to say “I thrifted this and it has no tag” because yeah it doesn’t and yeah I did. Cautioning your comments with “not to be pretentious” are oozing insecurity and self-judgment. Soooo not post- chalant! 

POST- POST. 

Everything is so stupid and everything is embarrassing so I try to just do what I want and say what I want. When people look at me weird it’s funny. They don’t know I’m giving Post-Chalant Weird Girl Blogger Stephanie Alaskas was Goth Now Confused Baddie… in a Post-Pretentious way.
