In this episode of Creative Current Events, Abby and Margo tackle the ups and downs of navigating social media as a creator. Margo opens up about her recent Instagram suspension and the ripple effect it’s had on her business, leading to a bigger conversation about algorithm frustrations, lack of transparency, and how social media companies fall short in supporting creators. They also discuss the devastating impact of natural disasters on our global community, focusing on how Florida-based artists are recovering from Hurricane Helene and Milton and how listeners can help from afar. Abby and Margo then share practical tips for diversifying communication outside of social media, dig into recent tech updates from Apple and Microsoft, and explore how creativity can thrive in even the most challenging conditions—like making art in the dark.   Mentioned in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/@dewintonpaperco https://tantaustudio.com/windowsillchat219/ https://www.annieatkins.com/ https://www.melissaweisspottery.com/ https://www.sunlighttax.com/ Microsoft’s Notepad gets spellcheck and autocorrect 40 years after launch Use Zoom’s AI Companion to Take Notes and Summarize Meetings Why Make Art in the Dark?
