Interesting read - I'm drawn by this line: "My taste was formed as I moved through worlds that did not neatly resolve into one another." what do you think is happening as we move both simultaneously towards online bubbles and also towards this faster trend cycle? I'm thinking about the cherry dress, butter yellow, etc. etc.
also the bad design of having to hunt things down!
Bad design does not make it easy 😔

I think both of those speak to a kind of monolingualism: myopic, precise, targeted taste world 🙃
The pace of trend cycles feels related to how quickly taste “good” taste loses value and needs to be replenished.
