Hi Besties,
One thing about me? Bullying works!
A few weeks ago, in between my Met Gala review, I posted a poll on Instagram asking my followers if they would be interested in reading a newsletter curated by yours truly (yes, this is your fault).
Truthfully, I was sitting on the idea for a while but didn’t know if it was the right time. I realised like many things I’ve done in my life (say go to college in India), it’s easier if I don’t overthink it.
A Curated Feed, in part, is a socio-anthropological space to help document human interactions online. I hope that with time I can build a cult…I mean a community of fellow netizens who love all things fashion, pop culture, and everything in between. I ask the real questions like What if The White Lotus was set in India or how celebrity divorces reflect fans' parasocial bonds? Yes, it is giving range.
This newsletter is for the kids who didn’t have a paid membership on Club Penguin (potentially my villain origin story), the teens who shouldn’t have been on Kik (y’all were nasty), and the adults who endured a 50-part TikTok story about a very questionable arrangement (y’all clearly have the time).
This newsletter is also for those who weren’t privileged enough to grow up on the internet and now find themselves wondering why every mid-pop star is a mother and why every mediocre white boy is a baby girl. Through my newsletter, I hope to provide a sneak peek into this intricate world.
I'm hooked!
Excited!
