ROMANTICIZING GEN-Z LIVES: Evita Duffy, writing for The Federalist, sees a glimmer of reason to be hopeful in the TikTok/Instagram movement. Not sure I share Duffy’s optimism, but it’s definitely worth considering.

In essence, users are sharing a visual representation of how they are transforming their outlook on life.”
