We heard Jameela Jamila say these words on a Feminists Don't Wear Pink podcast episode and we were like OMG YES Instagram will 100% make you feel poor, fat and unloved (aka not enough) if you let it.The good thing is that we can CHOOSE who we follow. The not so good thing is that it's so easy to forget this and find yourself following all the accounts that make you feel bloody crap about your life.And let's remember most Instagram feeds are carefully curated. They are not showing a whole story, especially the accounts that make you feel poor, fat and unloved... those accounts are most certainly NOT showing you the full story.Give us the depth, the real, give us the magic in the mess over perfect, shiney, fake, surface-level any day!If you're missing some depth and realness in your Instagram feed or your life in general... tune in to this Get Merry Podcast episode!And if you love the episode let us know and share it with someone who needs to listen.

Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies) is a collection of writing from extraordinary women - from Hollywood actresses, to teenage activists - each telling the story of their personal relationship with feminism. The collection is edited by journalist and activist Scarlett Curtis and features contributions from Irish actors Evanna Lynch and Saoirse Ronan. On today's show, Scarlett talks to Róisín Ingle about the book, about the controversial dismantling of a display promoting it in Topshop London and some of her favourite contributions - including one by Kiera Knightly describing childbirth in all its gorey details. She also talks about her superstar parents - Richard Curtis and Emma Freud - and her friendship with Saoirse Ronan. Also on the podcast, Evanna Lynch is on the line from Los Angeles to talk about her essay in Feminists Don't Wear Pink, before running out the door to rehearsals for Dancing With The Stars!
Superstar Saoirse Ronan joins Scarlett Curtis for a chat about what feminism means to her, and her piece in the upcoming book Feminists Don't Wear Pink (and other lies).
