Would love to hear your ideas on what newsletters to follow! I feel like there are so many of those these days with varying levels of quality, so some pre-curated list of recommendations would be really useful. Thank you!

Also - loving Pinterest. With Instagram getting obsessed with Reels and their suggestion algorithm going a bit off for me, I've been spending more and more time on this time-tested alternative visual source. Perhaps one tiny tip, although not ensuring a wider diversity, when you go to your settings, you can "turn off" certain pins, so that they do not feature in your recommendations algorithm so overwhelmingly and perhaps allow you to venture out a bit more as well :) e.g. I had to turn off all pins related to wedding dresses etc. after getting married because on certain days, this was literally the only thing that Pinterest allowed me to see :D

Thank you for your thoughts Lucie!

Newsletter wise it perhaps depends on what you like/are interested in, but a few of my faves include:

The Audacity by Roxane Gay (both for work from new writers and Roxane's weekly round-ups of news/hilarious quips)

The Ann Friedman Weekly (for links to articles on a variety of usually political/social justice issues)

Anti-Racism Daily (ARD) (US-focused, there is also a weekly weekend version)

Girls' Night In (cosy reads / links / recommendations) and similarly The Good Trade

Slice (Aus-based, links for interesting reads / aesthetics / funny tiktoks / recipes)

There's a few off the top of my head, but no doubt I'll be sharing more and if sharing links I have found through other newsletters, I will try to take note of this so I can reference them too!

Thank you for the Pinterest tip too - will look into that as sounds super helpful. :)
