Hi friend šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ and welcome to this weekā€™s edition of ā€œthe dump.ā€

This week I got really excited by news coming from Instagram. Between the new features that clearly set the path for creativity above engagement and likes, and the amazing ā€œanywayā€ campaign they launched featuring Tyler the Creator, I feel like Meta, or at least Instagram, is truly shaping the way for a new ā€œsocialā€ world where ideas, creativity and good work will win.

Of course we also have stories from our writers, a few links from around the web, and, of course, a lot of fun stuff to click on.

As always, we really appreciate you and your support.

Letā€™s go!
