let's talk about dark social and ozempic

the best things I read this month

I’m a bad reader.

I’m someone in adulthood who hangs their head when asked about how much they read and sheepishly sets a single digit number as their Goodreads annual target. However what I lack in patience for novels, I make up for with articles and newsletters — I love a seven minute read. At this point, I only use Twitter to point me in the direction of freshly-published pieces and more Substacks to subscribe to, and that’s how I like it.

I thought I’d round up some of my favourite things I’ve read this month in case you’re looking for some culture commentary and food for thought! Get ready for discussion of The Big O (but not the one you’re expecting), questions about dark social and some of the best dissection of Instagram trends that I’ve read in a long time.
