Instagram is, by far, my favorite form of social media. As a photographer, I enjoy being able to share my work easily with friends and followers. As a person, I love scrolling through my feed, getting a glimpse at the world through the eyes of someone else. There are a lot of popular hashtags to search through when it comes to Columbus, so I decided to put them all in one place. 

See what your fellow Columbusites...Columbusians... Columbus residents (seriously we really need to decide what we're called) are sharing and take a enjoy some laid back pointers on nailing that perfect gram.

I've always loved them and their sassy, egg-laying selves, so you can put me squarely in the "millennials who think they'll own a farm one-day" camp. I currently live in a wonderful downtown neighborhood and have less outdoor space than I'd care to admit, so the sprawling farm idea may be a little further out than I like. Clintonville's City Chicken Boot Camp gets city slickers up close and personal with these fluffy birds. [WOSU]Have you ever been at an event and thought to yourself, "If only a magical wine truck would show up"? You're in luck. Sunshine Wine will be hitting the road soon, providing your event with wine on-demand. There is one little snag that requires you to hire your own bartender, but other than that, this mission is a go!

Longread At a time when the world is so divided, it's easy to look at people and feel like you're staring at an alien species. But throughout all of human history, there is one thing that connects everyone: the need to sleep. In Japan, researchers are studying the biological need to sleep, and the profound effects it can have on human beings. For all of the challenges humans have conquered, the ability to overcome the need for sleep has remained elusive. The Atlantic: Why Do We Need to Sleep?
