I closed my Instagram last night feeling the dystopian nature of social media. Stories about the collapse of our environment were directly proceeded by selfies from the same person in a hot new dress from Zara, ready to go out and party.
We have come to a place in society where we share videos of tragedies and our party in the same thirty seconds of our lives. I am certain that I have been guilty of posting like this in the past; my comment is not to shame anyone. But over the past few years I have grown increasingly uneasy with the cognitive dissonances and behavioural norms of social media.
