For me, this platform grew to be less of a “social” media and more of an extension of self.
As social media continues to expand, I’ve found the issue — with X , Instagram, TikTok — is the lack of control over what I see. My X page is inundated with posts by people I don’t follow; the replies to my posts are full of spambots, despite what the. Instagram won’t stop bombarding me with ads for swimsuits. And TikTok’s algorithmic suggestions know so little about me as to prompt an identity crisis.
I’m not using it to see what other people do — I’m using it the way I did the opening pages of my journal, before I stopped keeping one. For years, I hand-wrote entries about my life, what I got up to, who I went out with, what movies I was seeing, what I was reading, what inspired me, what drove me insane. At the start of my journals, I’d keep a running log of what movies and books I watched and wrote about.
I can scroll back through my diary and see logs of what I was watching five years ago during a bad breakup , I can see what I was watching during the early days of the pandemic , I can see what I was watching the first month my partner and I started dating . These logs do not mean anything in isolation or out of context, but to me, they mean just about everything.Here is the other miracle of Letterboxd: I don’t have to see anything I don’t want to see.
But you do have to engage on Letterboxd with yourself — your habits, your viewing, your preferences. We tend to think of taste as an objective measure: Does a person have good or bad taste? Taste, like all things, is built not only on the material consumed but also on the day, the weather, the company. But I grew to like what I liked whether I watched it in my bed at 2 in the morning or in a rollicking theater audience.

Social media is a double-edged sword for the public image of Canadian labor unionsUnion membership in Canada has been declining over the past four decades. In 2022, the percentage of employees who are union members fell to 29 percent from 38 percent in 1981.
