    <p> Thank you for putting your art out there
        and making something beautiful out of such an ugly space.
        You are the only thing I miss about Instagram,
        and for a long time I stayed just because of you.</p>

        <p>Text mostly found in a vintage teen mag from the 70s, as well as some online sources,
            such as <a href="https://www.hercampus.com/culture/her-campus-winter-2021-manifest-issue/" target="_blank">this e-magazine</a>
            about some TikTok influencer.</p>

        <p>My intent is not to &ldquo;blame&rdquo; or &ldquo;shame&rdquo; the models pictured in my collage in any way.
                (I&rsquo;m sure some dumpster of a subreddit is already doing that.)
                They&rsquo;re just people profiting off of a system that <em>already</em> encourages &ldquo;perfection,&rdquo; hypersexualisation, and provocation by way of prioritizing <span role="text" aria-label="likes"><span class="emoji">&#9825;</span>s</span> from strangers.<br></p>
