H2O<p>5/ <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Instagram</span></a>: A little side note about Instagram. I got into Instagram because one of my children was posting in there, and their feed was mostly about art. So I decided to make Instagram all about art. </p><p>I follow <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/designers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>designers</span></a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/painters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>painters</span></a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/sculptors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculptors</span></a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BalletDancers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BalletDancers</span></a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MixedMediaArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MixedMediaArtists</span></a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GlassBlowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlassBlowers</span></a>, etc. etc. etc. I follow many of the local artists in my area as well. Eventually I also added some <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/zoos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zoos</span></a> so I could see cute animals too. </p><p>So Instagram for me is one long feed of visual pleasure. Sometimes once I’ve gotten to know an artist, I treat myself with buying some of their work because I feel that connected. And I share the cute animals with my kids. </p><p>Instagram is more clever about serving me ads than other sites, so I do admit that sometimes they hit the nail on the head. For instance, they cottoned onto how much I’m into rainbows, and I got many many ads with products I loved featuring the spectrum. Got some great sneakers! So Instagram is better at selling to me personally, and I don’t mind it that much. It feels like they care. And I’m often supporting small businesses, which I feel okay about. (Although you always have to be mindful of scams.)</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a></p>
