remember when it was fun to post on instagram and hashtags actually worked and you’d see the profiles that you followed? do you get irritated seeing multiple ads in between your friends’ and crushes’ stories? maybe i’m projecting or waxing poetic, but social media feels like a sponsored content wasteland of what it used to be. it used to be an online third place to connect.

lately, when the zine team talks about sharing content, we discuss what Instagram wants us to share and less about what we want to share. there’s something backwards about that.

we’ve been shifting our energy more toward our newsletter lately and it has been rewarding. we get cool replies and it feels more personal. jessica is sending out a letter on thursday, and dives more into this topic.
