I very much enjoyed this post and your suggestions. I consider myself rather intellectually creative but dismally lacking on the aesthetic side. Thanks for cracking that door open a bit more (again).

Are.na sounds very helpful! This is my 2nd attempt at a Substack primarily because I have no engagement whatsoever with my instagram or website. I figured at least here I’d find like-minded people. You do a great job with your content and I have been following along for some time now.

I found the Internet Archive a wellspring of inspo my first try, esp navigating through old shelter magazines. On those days when you’re looking through the public domain!!

This was such a great round up of resources. I often find myself staring blankly at my computer when it comes time to create social content. Scrolling social media feels never ending and never leads to much inspiration. This was a great reminder to take a step back and look in other places for real inspiration. Saving this so I can come back to it again and again. Thank you so much for sharing your toolkit with us!
