🌀 "CARI, or Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute, is an online community dedicated to developing a visual lexicon of consumer ephemera from the 1970s until now." an amazing place to explore, research, and get inspiration.

substack is the way to go, it has an app that you can download. substack is kinda like twitter for writing.
there's also psyche.
low-tech magazine - powered by solar energy, really cool for more technology-oriented articles
literary hub - literary articles (you can also find reading lists, news from the publishing world etc.)

one of the best substacks IMO. as far as I know its ran by two people. most of the posts are about fashion and culture, but every now and then a banging editorial is dropped. super sweet recs for small time and single owner fashion brands plus some really great interviews. Clairo is actually the reason I found BBSP as well as PI! Hope you enjoy
