Top Eleven Famous or not-famous but worthwhile feeds sharing worthwhile stuff.
Who’s your favorite account or human to follow on Instagram, who is famous or not-at-all famous and deserves more fans via Elephant readers? Share your suggestions, big or small, in comments.
My list’s criteria isn’t about big or small—you’ll see some of both—but rather it’s about folks who aren’t self-obsessed, with feeds full of photos of themselves…and instead are devoted to sharing a rich mix of life-is-beautiful and good causes that deserve attention and awareness.
I’ll share one Insta via each, with why I recommend ’em. Follow away! Let’s make Instagram about caring, not merely selfies (which aren’t all bad, we just want some balance).
We train in how to use social media, instead of merely being used by it, in Elephant Academy. Join!
You can follow Elephant accounts here: @waylonlewis, @walkthetalkshow, @ecofolks, and the big one, @elephantjournal. We work hard to share inspiration, fun, awareness, and good causes that sometimes get very little love.
Okay, let’s get to it! Elephant’s top 11 Favorite Accounts to follow dans l’Instagramland:
Okay this lady is hilarious, sending up ridiculous models and ridiculous ideas of beauty in the funnest possible way, instead of being an aggressive jerkface about it. Click to follow.

It’s like traveling to Paris for free and suddenly being more intellectual and smoking without the cancer and falling in love and paying for it.
