To those I said I would - I tried. But I just couldn’t get past onboarding. Instagram is too creepy. So back in the day - waaaay back in the day - I used social media. There, I said it.

Meta was not a sleazy privacy-violating company. It didn’t exist. But in the years since, and especially since starting a family, I closed up all big tech social media for good.

And they want to share stuff with us. But, guess what? In order to see it, you also need an account. I’ve stood my ground, but sometimes the jokes are just too funny to pass up. So in 2026 I gave it a shot - let’s do IG onboarding and see how it goes. How bad could it possibly be, right? Signed up…
