I’ve been limiting Instagram for a while, there was a good 3 months where I did check it at all and now I do every couple days for a few minutes. I’m also going to do that with TikTok and if I need to get hot/wholesome/random takes I’ll just get on here.
A lot of people say they need Instagram to get their news, but for me it makes way more sense to listen to the radio, subscribe to email blasts, and just look at publications I respect now and again.

the trad social media i use the most is instagram. the main reason I stay on it is that it's kind of how i hear about anything that's going on. that includes all the things that make me go "wow I'm so glad I heard about this thing I can do" but also all the things that make me go "aww man ☹️". been trying to strike a balance with how much of that noise I let into my life right now, so I've been relegating my instagram use to just on my browser on my personal laptop which i leave at home most days.
trying to get back into having a dedicated "screen time" for socials so I can still keep up with things but I'm not just constantly bombarded with notifications and stories and new posts and news and current events and also what my friends are doing and also what local businesses are doing and also what bands and musicians I like are doing and also ADS ADS ADS ADS ALL THE TIME I DONT WANT TO BUY ANY OF THESE LEAVE ME ALLLLOOOONNNE
trying to reclaim my peace of mind and my attention this year. tryna be like this but for the attention economy

I find if I’m on too many platforms too often everything starts to become noise and nothing but.
Currently I‘ve been sticking to my small private twitter account to keep in touch and occasionally PI when I need to spew and share or absorb some takes. Pinterest too but that’s less social for me.

Was going through instagram stories for the first time in months. Nothing wrong with using social media in the right way or really however you want to. I just really don’t miss it when I avoid it and when I go back I like it less and less.
PI feels like an exception- it’s a much purer form. Not trying to kiss ASS here, but it kinda just feels like old twitter which was a happy place in the timeline of social media…

Ask friends to bring their friends, then you meet those peoples friends, then you meet those people’s friends, etc. follow up with connections you make platonic & romantic. I believe in you 🫡

I’ve been working in the service industry for like 13 years and nightlife for over 5. I decided in 2019 to go back to school and this past December I graduated. I just got a part time gig in my field but the pay is really good and I can finally see myself getting out of working 9-4am.
The last three years have been the hardest of my life and when I tell you I SOBBED after I got this fucking part time job. I’ve never had a desk job so I’m incredibly nervous but so excited. Anything is possible! I don’t believe in my career being my life but I do believe in having a job that doesn’t make you not want to be alive!
