Instagram, the app that forced everyone vertical with Reels, Stories, and the grid, is now testing horizontal video. Here's hoping the horizontal movement wins.

Algorithm. No archive. Can’t search properly. No real links. Designed to keep people anxious.

Tried to leave a simple comment on an Instagram story today but got hit with a "Get the App" wall. It’s a classic move to prioritize data over user convenience. I’ll stick to my browser.

Instagram's desktop site is HEAVY. Tried loading multiple profiles simultaneously and my computer nearly had a meltdown. Break those bookmarks into smaller folders.

I might make this into a series where I occasionally post a photo to Instagram saying I’m on Bluesky. But each time I’ll write the message in a different way.

Instagram will use your art, because you use their app. It’s time to drop Instagram. Is Cara the solution? The artwork on there is really high-level. I signed up for Cara, but I don’t think I’ll really be using it.…

I love how the art museums have collections of loosely-drawn sketches. Makes me wish they would collect sketchbooks from artists today. I know, I know. You have to be “historically significant” to become part of their collection. The sketch featured…

Since I’ve been working with constellations in my art, I did some research to see what other people are doing. Here are 16 photos tagged with constellation.

Can you do this in Instagram? Put notes on top of other people’s photos? No. You cannot do that in Instagram. But you can do it in Flickr. There’s many different ways you can ask your fans to leave notes.…

You can search within your favorites on flickr. You can’t do that on Instagram. For instance, I searched for “balloons” in my flickr favs, and I got these fun results. Try that, stupid Instagram! Get a free flickr account now…

There needs to be an easier way of selling on etsy. Their posting form is way too long. There’s a total of 14 fields to fill out. — Who made it? — Categories — Photos — Item Title — Description…
