“Internet Angels” by Emmeline Clein

“Two girls among the green, between trees. Hands on hips, heads tipped back, eyes searching sky. Six years before Taylor Swift announced her eighth studio album by posting a photo of herself standing in a forest, she posted another photo of a forest holding two women, which she has since deleted from her grid. Don’t stress, it’s not gone. It’s just entered the next stage in the celebrity Instagram life cycle, which means that it’s truly ours now, property of the stans with the prescience to preserve.”

"The Daniels: Part Two" by Matthew Frye Castillo

“[The Daniels] work is vital because they each add a necessary extension to what it means to be human.
