Are there people writing online diaries today, about their daily experiences? Or has Instsgram, X etc scooped up this material? I'm looking to find compelling online diarists -- suggestions gratefully received.

I'm making a short film composed of lots of 20-second clips of different people reading the same line of text: a series of brief instalments.

If you would like to be involved - it will be fun, and maybe interesting, and easy (you film on a phone) - please DM me (and/or repost).

Thank you!
