I have tried to post a square photo to Instagram and couldn’t figure out how to do it. It offered me to “POST”, “STORY”, or “REEL”. I don’t even know what those mean. I tried the first option and it was littered with options to add music and text. But it seems to do what I wanted. So if you’ve been wondering how to use Instagram in 2025, now you know.

I will post more pictures here. Here’s Rory Kinnear and me at a mall. He was shopping with his daughter. He was very kind. Can’t believe I met him.

In our reality a company with two developers (Micro.blog) can do a faster iOS photos picker than a billion-dollar company. It irritates me when apps like WhatsApp and Instagram present their own privacy invasive photos pickers, which adds an extra tap to present the native picker.
