Hi!

I'm Raul (BL).

Much can be said about me (how much of it is interesting is a different matter altogether). Suffice to say for now that I am a writer. By that I simply mean that I write. It is the way that I process information and create, both professionally and personally. I am also an English language and literature teacher based in São Paulo, Brazil (which is what really pays the bills).

I made this website to claim some digital independence from the platforms we have come to rely on. While you probably found this through one of those platforms, my site will always be mine to control and mold as I see fit. I also just mostly think it is cool to have my own site, so don't expect any grander purpose than that.

Contact me via email@raulbl.com (pretty cool, right?) and find me on substack.com/@raulbl, instagram.com/_raulbl, and linkedin.com/in/raul. (Yes, I find it deeply upsetting that I don't have the same username on all three platforms, but, such is life.)
