We know we know, our upload schedule has been whack lately (we would like to apologize for that). BUT WE ARE BACK and will be for the next following weeks - so don't worry you will be getting our consistent mediocre content for a while. This week, we dive straight into Rukky hitting up Walmart and ultimately turning into the spectacle for all the staff and customers with her fresh I-just-experienced-a-mental-breakdown face. Right after, we jump into social media anxiety talking about how one of us, struggles to post a single picture without analyzing and critiquing it at least 50 times (yes you are correct, this would be Shafa thinking she is the main character in everyone else's lives). Later, we analyze the meticulous thoughts, that Rukky has when posting stories and how she had to shove her head into a pine bush to take a golden hour photo. BUT JOKES ASIDE, we tackle the good and bad about social media, from social justice to performative activism, the pressures/anxiety surrounding activism/general posts and its impacts on body image. Also, we dive into how Instagram influencers might be ruining our lives with their aesthetical feeds (hence Shafa archiving all her posts) and if all these apps collectively work together making us think 30 is the new 75? With a sprinkle of random facts about Aries (Rukky's zodiac sign - it's the only thing that can explain her impulsiveness). Tune in this week, to figure out how some young kids in their 20s feel about social media and reflect on their catfish journey! Make sure to check out https://strugglingoptimists.com/
