Molly Sodas internet guide
..
There would be no www as we know it without her. That might not be true in a technological sense, but Molly was the Tumblr it girll back in 2010, when us girls born in the 90s were trawling the platform for soft porn and pastel hair-color inspo. We love Molly for being a part in shaping our youth and influencing us into getting star constellation tattoos and giving up on shaving. Molly is an artist, based in Brooklyn, still posting like it’s 2013 and we can’t get enough of her. She got back to us with her top 5 of the web right now.
Name a girl who’s better to ask?

Provo’s Most Eligible is a made-for-YouTube dating show, in the style of The Bachelor franchise, that focuses on 3 young LDS (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) women looking for love. The show was clearly shot on a relatively low-budget, resulting in some pretty funny camera work and awkward moments. I say this with love, because it is special. And despite being based on a pretty standard reality show concept, I haven’t seen anything like it.

I’ve been posting regularly on Tumblr again. It’ll never be the same as it was at its height (2010-2014) but I don’t really need that from the platform anymore. If anything, I love that I don’t know any of the people I follow and it feels nice to inhabit an online space that feels somewhat anonymous. Some of my favorite currently active Tumblr accounts are xvisualtrash09x, fruitchouli, and thatbitchsimone.

A friend recently sent me Molly Moon’s TikTok account and it blew my mind. She’s doing some of the most interesting stuff on the platform. I love the super flat/pixelated style of her graphics. I don’t really play video games but if she made one I would play it.

Healthfreak1001 is artist Lizzie Klein’s Instagram account for her Health Freak project. It’s less modern “wellness” culture (green juice, high production morning routines for TikTok, facial massage) and more its predecessors (sprouts, poor quality digital camera photos, second wave coffee shops).

Smule is a karaoke app that lets you record duets with other users. There’s something a bit uncanny about it that I can’t quite wrap my head around. Maybe it’s the fact that you’re dueting with pre-recorded videos, or it’s the video and vocal filters, or just the energy of a bunch of people who like to sing despite whether or not they have “talent” all gathered in the same place.
