@fannaforbooks This was always my first thought whenever seeing a really pretty bookshelf on bookstagram: who has this much disposable income to buy books based on looks/vibes??

On bookstagram, some who can afford are buying attention through the aesthetics of physical books, new and latest. While many who also love reading but can't afford the new (or even faves) must let their appreciation for books be overshadowed by algorithm-fed bookish consumerism.

In praise of the 'artthrob':

@douglasgrnwd @i_D I love that this is happening in Hollywood and wonder if the "artthrob" phenom will spread to other fields (publishing, esp!)

Studies show no actor under 30 can lure audiences to movie theatres, so I wrote this for @i_D about the death of the ‘movie star’, and why their general disappearance is a good thing. (Mikey Madison shunning IP slop for weird shit.) i-d.co/article/who-ar…
