Here at Grist, we’re usually more into words than pictures, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like to scroll through other peoples’ photos while we’re waiting for the bus or sitting on the (low-flush) toilet. And what’s the best place for pics on the go? Instagram, of course. It’s not just for selfies and dogs pics — it’s also for selfies and dog pics in stunning locations that you’ll never see in person because you’re strapped to a desk all day. Sure, you may spend 40 hours a week entering numbers in spreadsheets but at least you can see what the surf looked like in Bali today. Thanks, Instagram!
