Although many of us have a love/hate relationship with social media, it’s a part of our lives. And let’s face it, there are some good things about it—it can inform us, inspire us, and keep us connected. Facebook and Instagram, for example, are our proverbial windows into the world. And social media has never been more important than it is today, in an age of COVID-19’s social distancing and self-quarantines. 

Of course, the content has changed. From book clubs and crafting to bread making and KonMari’d closets, most people’s hobbies look very different since coronavirus came along in 2020. But our “quarantine” feeds can still be fun—and funny.
