Introducing Photos of You
Photos are memories of the people, places and moments that mean the most to us. We have always sought to give you simple and expressive ways to bring the stories behind your photos to life. Your captions and hashtags capture the “what?” and your Photo Map answers the “where?” but until today we’ve never quite been able to answer the “who?”.
Today, we’re excited to introduce Photos of You and bring you a new way to share and discover stories on Instagram. When you upload a photo to Instagram, you’re now able to add people as easily as you add hashtags. Only you can add people to your photos, so you have control over the images you share. And it doesn’t stop at people—you can add any account on Instagram, whether it’s your best friend, favorite coffee shop or even that adorable dog you follow.
There will now be a Photos of You section on your profile. When someone adds you to a photo, you’ll receive a notification and the photo will appear in your Photos of You. Want to make sure you like the photo first? No problem: you can easily adjust your settings so nothing appears on your profile until you approve it. Before your Photos of You section is visible to other people, you’ll have until May 16th to play around and get used to the feature. You can find more information about how Photos of You works and how to control your visibility at help.instagram.com.

Interesting.
Self-power is an interesting form of unconsumption that seems to be the focus of more and more projects these days. Here’s an example:
The Siva Cycle Atom is the first bicycle-mounted generator that lets you power more than just the lights on your bike.
While riding, the device is attached to the rear axle of your bike and can be used to charge your devices while on the move. It’s usefulness doesn’t stop when you do, however. There is a removable battery pack which you can take with you when not using your bike. Provided your device uses a USB connection, the list of what you can charge is only limited by your imagination.

WHAT.IN.THE.FUCK?
I saw this fucking thing from Saveur in my inbox today nominating Thug Kitchen as one of the best new food blogs for 2013. I was responding to fan mail when I saw this shit and my ass thought it was spam for sure.Thug Kitchen wouldn’t have been noticed for this award without all you guys so… shit, thanks. I’m honored as fuck for the nomination especially since I share it with some real talented motherfuckers.
If any of y’all feel like showing some love with a vote, click here (it’s legit I promise). Honestly, if we can just get “FUCK” up anywhere on their site I will consider this a huge win.

Herein, Genevieve Roth—New Yorker in residence, Alaskan at heart—chastises herself for losing touch with her survivalist roots, and peeks into the freezers and pantries of a few better prepared hunters, canners, and coupon clippers. (Unbelievably poor planning pushed this story from the pages of issue 6 to our tumblr; print’s loss is the internet’s gain.)
