Go to search filter and adjust the date taken to 1995 - 2015
Type in any 5 digit number or any year-less date (like August 14 or whatever) and look at all of the pics.
I get a little emotional scrolling on there because it’s so sweet and tender to look at what everyone thought was worth memorialising and it has definitely inspired me to take pics of things I absolutely would never have considered before.

There’s something about the quality of digital camera photos that make a picture of anything you take look more pleasing (to me anyway). The nostalgia, the saturation, I love them. I have a couple cameras that still work from when I was a kid, but I also bought one on eBay that was similar to one that used to be a favorite of mine. I just throw it in my purse and take it everywhere, and it’s so much more fun than trying to get the “perfect shot,” especially now that I’ve deleted Meta and gone with Pixelfed it seems that people love posting anything from the little things they see or their drinks. It’s making photo sharing fun again! Although, if you do download Pixelfed (which isn’t the point of this post but) I highly recommend using it in your browser on your phone for now, they’ve already made things run smoother from when I first downloaded but they’re definitely still working on the app.

Or college, or parents' hometowns, or place you lived for a while in.
I love browsing Flickr for everything, but I especially love looking at familiar places. It reminds me that things have been before me and will be after I'm gone.
This picture is from uptown Athens, OH in 2008.

flickr does timeline-style but is best for for sorting into folders, sharing your photography more publicly, large photo dumps. you can annotate photos. it’s also fun to look through others’ photos. i like to put my film + digital + nicer pics on flickr
retro to me feels a little more social (however nobody i know really uses it…) and i like the timeline focus of it too. it’s soooort of like if flickr instagram and snapchat combined but definitely pre-ads and algorithms and junk content. it’s just you, your pics, and anyone you friend. you can do captions or just upload pics. i’m excited to look back at my timeline at the end of the year !
daylio is literally a digital diary / journal. you pick a mood and then can add any tags/activities/etc and a caption and photos if you’d like. you can also mark certain days as special events and it will send you a reminder at the yearly anniversary. i use it for tracking my mood/habits on a more daily basis since i don’t always have the ability or energy to journal for a long time every day. also the pro version always goes on sale at new years and they have cute icon/color schemes :-)

Any man, any task. I’m sure there are other ways to strengthen your relationships with men but this is the easiest I’ve found and my method also gets a task done.
Ask your dad to build shelves, ask some guy on your street to mow your lawn, ask your friend to collect a parcel for you, ask your brother to hang a picture frame. So many tasks get done and so many men feel needed and appreciated. Could offer them a beer to make it transactional but it’s almost never necessary.

They're delicious and silent and
unscented. They sell so many foods at the cinema but never berries.
