the way the ig algorithm is working these days, it's hard to know if anyone's even seeing your posts in the first place. people have resorted to double posting in the feed and stories at the same time, or posting candid/head shots every few days to convince Meta they are an actual person. the...

was trying to make it out but no dice? what was the best garage 45 you saw? I heard someone pulled THE EAT communist radio, but haven't heard of much garage.
