This is why I unfollowed everyone makeup related on Instagram. I spent enough time and energy learning techniques that I can happily never pay attention again.

The problem is they’ve also taken over all the crafts as well. Garment sewing has always been left leaning, but then they came for quilting. Knitting is totally lost, along with most fiber arts. Spinning is safe-ish for now, but the recent weaving trend has put a expiration on that.

Certain areas of gardening, and woodworking seems safe still, but we’ll see how long it lasts.

At some point, we’re going to have to put firm ‘no off-topic/politics’ rules on forums or groups we create if we want to take back some of these areas.
