    I brought this up on Charles Discord server, but I'm on Instagram and can find very little on Epicurean philosophy, as browsing the hashtag brings up results for epicureanism with a little "e" (for all of the foodies). I also follow a couple of Stoic and general philosophy accounts on there, and their posts are generally just a really popular quote with a picture of a bust in the background.

    Considering these things, I am reaching out to both ask if anyone on here may know of some Instagram accounts worth following for interest in Epicurean teachings, and to also gauge interest in the idea itself if none such accounts exist or if they are very few.

    I myself would actually be very interested in starting and maintaining an Instagram account that posts both quotes and passages from Epicurean writers, with visual/audio accompaniment that's related to the topic of said passage used. Even memes would be fine with me. Perhaps I can use and credit/link to sources on this website and others with permission?

    That would certainly be a great idea, A_Gardner. You certainly have permission to use any of the memes/graphics that are posted in the gallery here. That's what they are there for - to be circulated publicly.

    Instagram is not something I use (don't even think I have an account) but if you do then it would be great if you could set up something.

    I have to use Instagram for work and I neglect my personal account, but Id be happy to help with any posts or images you would need, as well as telling others about it.

    I'll set it up tonight then and leave a link to both share and if anyone has any input or suggestions. Thank you Cassius

    Charles I appreciate the offer and will certainly discuss some of the content with you as well. I'll start off slowly at first, but we can link these pieces of content back to both these forums and your Discord server, if you're comfortable with that, as well as the various sites and projects of other members on here.

    is alright if I leave this link to the account in a post?

    https://www.instagram.com/the_garden_of_pleasure/

    Also, if alright with you, as an effort to share the works of others on this site and in Epicurean teachings in general, I have included a link to these forums as well on the profile page of the account.
