trying to break the habit of just scrolling by without interacting. i feel like instagram has made me reluctant to throw likes out cause i’m just always dodging ads or sponsored content.

C'mon. It makes you feel good; it makes them feel good.
You have to mean it, though.
Years ago I thought there was integrity in being withholding, till a prominent online (now print) editor with the initials C.S. began liking the tweets I posted for my day job. If this person wasn't too good to hit "like," what was I being so full of myself for?

reading aloud to a friend or husband or partner is truly one of life’s little joys. swapping chapters back and forth is the perfect activity for a day in the park, a rainy afternoon on the couch, before dinner after a long hike on a camping trip, or in bed. i particularly recommend doing this with something silly, like a 1970s pulp fantasy novel or 1950s teen romance from the discount bin of a used book store.

how exactly do you live on two different coasts? that sounds unreal expensive. two rents? two electric bills? flights back and forth all year? how much money do you make? jk—how much did you inherit? listen, i’m also embarrassed to be a media type in brooklyn, but the fact that i spend christmas and easter visiting my childhood home does not mean i “live” in louisiana. be for real!
