If you want a look into how I handle my mental health:

The level of ok I am equally translates to what percent of my diet is made up of goo.

I’m currently like 90% solid foods, 10% applesauce pouches. But right before my mental breakdown I was exclusively eating gerber baby food. Like Hawaiian delight and mashed bananas. And the tiny baby hotdogs.

So I don't know what this KOSA stuff is, but I'm just now hearing about it? Quite frankly from what I've read so far, this shit ain't good.

Apparently this is supposed to "protect" children by censoring apps like Tiktok, Instagram, Tumblr, AO3, etc. etc., as if this will make it better. Which, let's be honest, it won't.

I'm not fully aware or informed on KOSA, but I know for sure this shit will cause more suicides and suffering for kids my age from what I've read and seen.

Fuck KOSA, and everything it stands for.

(Edit: we should do what we did in like 2020 or something, where people would hack the representatives credit cards lol)

Master List of Decluttering Resources

Backup of the list from r/declutter recommendations, due to planned mid-June 2023 Reddit Blackout in protest of plans to charge exorbitant fees for API access.

Some well-established decluttering gurus have omnimedia empires covering YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, multiple books, TV shows, a web site, and more. For these titans of tidying, the list shows whichever one to three resources are most recommended. These resources intentionally showcase a variety of perspectives, so if you dislike one, scan the list for something different.

gossip girl here, your one and only source into the ultra-rich, scandalous lives of race car drivers of formula 1.

hi loves! our first post!!!! ahhh!!!!! foremost, happy race week in australia! oscar piastri, daniel riccardo, and notably valtteri bottas’ home race, of course. its been such a hard week without racing hasn’t it?? i know it has been for me. thankfully, racing is back in melbourne for the weekend<3

before i start, if ur not into truly gossipy stuff— THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!! this will go into territory of wag gossip, silly rumours, and other cheesy stuff like that. you have been warned.

onto this weeks gossip !!!

everybody knows 18-year-old prodigy ollie bearman, who made his f1 debut with scuderia ferrari just two weeks ago in the scrupulous circuit that is the jeddah corniche circuit filling in for carlos sainz jr, sick from appendicitis. (hopefully this doesnt cause another chain of events like a certain driver whos number is 23, knock on wood) the academy driver started 11th on the grid and finished in the points, all the way to 7th, despite being such a hard circuit and also having very little experience with real formula 1 cars.

what not everybody knows about is his girlfriend, estelle— formerly silly_lettuce on all social media. truly, she is gorgeous. a picturesque couple, no?

estelle ogilvy langinier manning, (allegedly) is 21 years old law student out of london. the couple ‘hard launched’ from ollie’s instagram story a couple months ago. (picture is from his instagram) from the crumbs ive picked up from my dear friends on insta and tiktok, ollie is not the only racing driver she’s ever dated. ive been hearing through the grapevine that she dated f2 drivers zak o’sullivan since they were neighbours in the past and has also been with franco colapinto, confirmed(? texts could be fake) by herself through a message thread on instagram.

aside from racing drivers, there has been more rumors of her being with a guy from boy band, as well as a finance man.

with a simple instagram search of ‘sillylettuce,’ you will get a video credited to her old account with her alleged ‘finance boyfriend.’ this search will also get you this picture on the left, uploaded by downtown.chix in december of 2020.

left picture heaves largely compared to the right, taken from an archived picture from her now deactivated instagram account. 🫡

if we bring out search back around tiktok and do another search of silly lettuce, you’ll be met with a video from user sunnymonday on tiktok, going by the name india rawsthorn. the video is a trend from 2021 ‘rating my friends dance moves’

estelle earned herself a spot in the video, sporting a very different look than. 🤨🤨🤨🤨

this is estelle— India has many videos of estelle on her account

some people think its plastic surgery, maybe a drastic weight loss journey. whatever it might be, this isn’t the only thing that raises a couple eyebrows since thanks to the very intrigued people of the internet, we have since found out she started studying at durham uni in 2018. unless she is a young sheldon type prodigy who started college at 11, this would mean she is 24/25 now.

shortly after people started finding out, she ‘coincidentally’ got hacked. yikes!

*i can confirm this one is real— i saw it in real time😭

if you try to look her account on tiktok and instagram up now, nothing will pop up. mm.. following the discovery of her age, she immediately (allegedly) changed her information on linkedin. 🤔🤔🤔 how do you guys feel about this? i have a theory right here from one of my mutuals from twitter.

“Wooooww Estelle is really going down the road of saying that "we're obsessed"

her obsession is finding someone famous, and potentially rich to climb the social ladder of fame

I'm not trying to shame her about her plastic surgery, but it's obvious that some type of touchup was done and there's nothing wrong with that but I get the sense that she's trying to hide that she isn't all natural when in reality there has been something drastically done”

what’s your guy’s opinions? leave them below😘 my inbox is always open as well as my dms, so if u ever need to talk or want to chat about my posts, hmu! (tips are always accepted too)

until next time race-watchers, xoxo, gossipgirlgasoline

On Sunday February 2024 a blank video titled MELLY OH MY MY SPICE FULL SONG LEAK. was posted to the account siusheep. A youtube account with almost 300 followers with a total of 6 videos.

The account had formerly posted about the melly girls twice sharing videos of them from afar, one from a fansite and another from a concert they had had back in 2020. the other 3 videos were all videos featuring long 20 minutes shots of dread end members from concerts.

The leaked song video gained nearly 5k views within hours from Jellies saving, rewatching and sharing the video. As of now this video has been taken down from the channel, however Jellies have managed to record the song beforehand. In the video you can clearly hear Yoona, Meilli and Hinata.

Now the video has been reposted by others all over Instagram, Tiktok and X. Fans have also created fake mv's, line distribution videos, and cover of the song.

But many netizens have taken to online forums to discuss how this person was able to obtain the snippet of the song. Seeing as there other videos lead people to speculate that their just another fan.

Some have created theories such as, this person is a staff working at honeyco? some even speculate that this was all a plan by honeyco to gain attention for melly's comeback, however most people believe that honeyco was hacked by a fan.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

y'know I really do feel sorry for the younger 20 somethings (and anyone in general tbh) that are suffering from tiktok brain rot around "anti-aging" advice. like the other day, I had a review/reaction video from I think james walsh the beauty influencer in my fb watch feed, where he was reviewing/debunking the bs anti-aging advice that people give on tiktok.

one of the videos he reacted to was from some 21yo beauty influencer or some rando idk, I'm not on there. her piece of advice was to "always sleep on your back like a vampire to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet. that's how I stay looking so fresh... even though yes I'm 21 which contributes quite a bit but still. be disciplined about sleeping on your back ALL NIGHT, EVERY NIGHT to get the PERFECT SKIN!!!" like im sorry, what???? you're 20 fucking one (21). why the FUCK do you feel compelled to give "anti-aging" advice??? why the fuck do you even care about anti-aging stuff when you're like at least 10 YEARS away from any considerable signs of aging beginning to slowly show??? get the fuck out of the house and enjoy nature or some shit. instead of lamenting that you're "getting so old by the minute so I MUST ELIMINATE laugh lines and crows feet even though im still only 21."

"but but. it's in the name of self care." I can hear some people say. "but but. it shows that as a woman you take high self-care maintenance of yourself if you begin EARLY with seeking out remedies for and eliminating the signs of aging" other people are saying. and finally: "but but. look at zendaya (or some other young 20 something movie star or TT influencer like idek mikayla nougeira). she's promoting revlon anti-aging serums! it can't be that bad!!!"

I raise to people with the first response that: no. having some 21yo condescend to you that you MUST fight to stay younger and sleep uncomfortably on your back stiffly like a vampire is NOT self care. starting to "fight" the signs of aging is NOT being a high maintenance woman in your early 20s. it's just being fucking insanely obsessed with youth..... when like... you're still young as fuck. like yes I made jokes about feeling ancient and old and w/e when i was 21.... but that doesnt mean that i became weirdly focused on trying to eliminate any crows feet and laugh lines....... that weren't even fucking on my face yet!!!!!! or cellulite that's on my legs.

moreover, for zendaya or other beauty influencers that may promote anti-aging products. they get paid either 10s of thousands of dollars or hundreds of thousands or maybe even up to possibly millions of dollars for promoting some bs estee lauder/revlon etc etc anti-age defying gravity super plumping and hydrating hyaluronic acid and idek retonoid vitamins C and E serum fuck shit.... against you, a random 21yo from god knows where in the US (usually).... like idek calabasis or houston or whatever the fuck with fuck knows how many low count followers (im assuming but probs not idek and idc)....

the people who I'll listen to about aging are people who have actually lived a life. like jamie lee curtis. like sandra oh. like leslie jones. like viola davis. idek just people who have ACTUALLY lived a life and are happy with aging, i guess (even if yes, they're famous and kinda unrelateable anyway). not some fucking stuck up rude asf early 20 something whose watched 3 fucking antiaging brain rot videos on tiktok and NOW thinks that they're the utmost expert on anti-aging hacks. and this is coming from someone whose nearly 30. fucking embrace getting older in your 20s. cherish it and use it wisely.

I say this as someone who, in 2020 at 25, nearly fucking died twice after a massive surgery. why the fuck should I give a fuck about crows feet???? laugh lines (ie lines of fucking J O Y)???? my cellulite??? when I'm 28 this year??? (*cue these TT brain rot girlies* EEEEWWWWW OLD HAG WHO DOESNT DO GOOD HIGH MAINTENANCE SELF CARE TO FIGHT THE SIGNS OF AGING EEEEWWWW!!!!!) I'm finally healthy again.... but realisitcally, YOU ARE the one that needs to look in the mirror and realise that being young and looking young ain't that crash hot, really. wise the fuck up and delete tiktok and escape anti-aging brain rot.... when you're still a kid (in a sense) stumbling about in your early 20s... stop giving a fuck about useless shit you can't avoid.

[perryisle]

for that one ask game: 10, 17, 16, 22, 13

answers below cut!!!

10.) if your story is titled, why did you choose that title?

critical damage!! was supposed to be a placeholder name but i got waaaay too attached to it lol. i named it that bc it Sounded Cool (and tbh a lot of the choices i make for crit dmg are just “whatever seems cool”). funniest thing about naming it crit dmg is hearing the words critical damage being said in any other context (like as a video game stat or something) and being reminded of my oc thing :)

17.) describe the "required reading" to understand your vision. be as pretentious as possible.

play/listen to all the stuff i mentioned in that crit dmg inspo post i made (+ read/watch csm cuz thats also very crit dmg-core)

also listen to these three songs too for the complete Critical Damage!! Experience™️

16.) imagine the entire story takes place but in the meantime the characters all also have tumblr. what kind of (terrible) tumblr posts would happen?

oh man this ones a bit hard to answer!! if all the crit dmg dudes had social media (they most likely do) they’d all have the crit dmg equivalent of like twitter or tiktok or something (the really popular ones basically). but it would be funny if some bystander was liveblogging a fight they’re watching between vinny n mae and some hyperdemon on tumblr dot com

22.) you have been given unlimited funds to make two adaptations of some sort, however you cannot make any other adaptations of any other sort. which two formats do you choose?

if crit dmg wasn’t a hack n slash video game it would definitely be an anime with the same animation style as FLCL or something animated by studio trigger or something lol. if i was still allowed to make a video game of it but specifically not a hack n slash it could be a pretty good rpg

13.) how long have you been working on this project? what has changed from the outset?

ive been working on crit dmg since 2021! ive also had vinny for a little longer (made him 2020 as a stand-alone character). besides from like. redesigns and me getting better at writing.. uriels motives were COMPLETELY different back them (and also very poorly written) and there were two characters part of ENDS that i got rid of in like early 2023 I think? im not gonna talk about them now cuz this post is getting VERY long but i figured they didn’t contribute anything important to the story and decided to scrap them 🤷‍♂️ i might talk more about them in a different post if i feel like it

ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ultimate fic hack on being a popular fanfic writer:

i don’t really write fics for the sake of popularity anymore, but if you’re trying to ride the waves, pay attention.

1. write for “new” fandoms.

a good example right now would be The Last of Us. huge debut on HBO, lots of new people to the fandom, especially for Pedro Pascal -> Joel.

which means demand for good Joel fanfic will be up. and it could run your stats crazy like this:

two fics that were posted within hours of each other YESTERDAY. both of them had some connection to pedro (the one of the left had a gif of him, the one on the right tagged him).

—

another good example that has passed: the league of legends show on netflix. Arcane was a HUGE hit, and there were several characters that could’ve been written for.

below are notes taken from headcanons alone from february.

—

2. pay attention to demand.

demand can be taken in several ways. what i explained above in “new” fandoms is demand.

however, i mean it in a different way now. sometimes there’s a specific niche part of a fandom that doesn’t get a lot of fanfic on it.

my first example will be The Walking Dead regarding Rick Grimes and baby Judith.

i’ve written 2 imagines with this concept, and both of them look like this:

the one on the left way posted in early may of last year, and the one on the right was posted at the end of december.

i had a feeling that the newest one would be popular, based on the request:

“really struggling to find fluff like that”. is the key phrase. if there’s not much fanfic on that specific part of the fandom, you can get popular off of it.

—

3. a fandom resurrection.

perfect time to make fanfiction. my best example of this was the Harry Potter craze on tiktok.

if you remember—since it was three years ago—you knew how many POV’s, edits, imagines and fanfics were written about Draco Malfoy alone.

i was in on it on tiktok, and i had a few benefits from it (albeit small, but i didn’t have many followers at the time).

out of my top 10 posts in december of 2020, 5 of them belong to draco malfoy. on the top 6, 5 of them were for draco malfoy.

—

4. popular but “dead” fandoms.

this one might be a little controversial but bare with me.

fandoms like: twilight, the hunger games, grey’s anatomy, etc. are always a safe bet for low to no notes. i’m not saying it’s impossible, i’m just saying that they’re not high demand, because their times are basically done (however, i’m going to be keeping an eye out for the hunger games in november, when TBOSAS drops).

but there’s also fandoms like supernatural or attack on titan that make it hard to predict if you’ll get hit on notes or not. not everything is categorizable.

—

and i’m going without mentioning a key element here: tagging. tagging is your best friend in everything you do. if you have shit tags, then there’s a good chance you get buried beneath all the other fanfic.

there’s also typically a few week window where getting in on the popularity wave will work, but eventually dwindle out. i get influxes of followers because of certain fics, but they never interact with my blog ever again most of the time.

end note: write what makes you happy and good luck.

The one-man crime wave.

September 9, 2024

Just like a Mafia boss, persistent scofflaw Donald Trump simply can't stop himself from committing crimes. He's already been adjudicated a rapist and sexual abuser as a result of the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. His personally owned company has been found guilty of business fraud. A New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony charges to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor. And he's under indictment in Georgia for election tampering. He's also been fined millions for operating a scam charity foundation and fake "Trump University."

Plus, he's being prosecuted in Florida for illegal retention of highly secret government documents. And while this case was erroneously dismissed by District Judge and Trump fangirl Aileen Cannon, it will no doubt be reinstated upon appeal to the 11th Circuit Court.

In addition, Special Counsel Jack Smith recently filed a superseding indictment that again accuses Trump of defying the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election. This became necessary after the corrupt political hacks on the Supreme Court invented a special rule making Trump immune from prosecution for certain conduct alleged in last year's original indictment.

The new 36-page filing maintains the original four charges — including conspiracy to defraud the United States — but leaves out evidence the Court ruled inadmissible. Now, as former US Attorney Joyce Vance points out, trial judge Chutkan "will have to decide what, if anything more, she will remove based on the arguments Trump’s lawyers will make."

But despite his ongoing criminal prosecutions, Trump refuses to cease lawbreaking. Only weeks ago, he attended ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery consisting of a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns and a memorial at a grave in section 60, which is reserved for recent US casualties. Naturally, he turned it all into a campaign event and posted a video of it on TikTok. Which is in direct violation of federal regulation 32 CFR 533.22 prohibiting political activity at Arlington. Reported The Washington Post:

It’s exactly what military officials tried to prevent. The use of the footage marked a flagrant violation of the law against partisan actions at military cemeteries, defense officials said.

Any other convicted felon who, while out on release awaiting sentencing, continues to commit crimes, would have his bail revoked forthwith and be immediately remanded to custody. But not Trump. As political blogger Jeff Tiedrich remarks, courts seem to think he's a "very special boy." He's also a very determined criminal.

From Posts to Plates: Role of Social Media in Shaping Food Trends

With the advent of robotics and artificial intelligence, traditional ways of cooking and consumption are changing to accommodate more customized, effective, and health-conscious meals. It is common to refer to these modifications as food trends. These trends are rapidly becoming viral through food journals, TV shows, and social media platforms.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have become the hotbed for viral food trends in the food & beverage industry. People are inspired to try new dishes through engaging food photos and brief recipe videos. These platforms attract dedicated followers and fans for bakeries, ice cream shops, restaurants, and cocktail bars.

Engagement with visually appealing food content on social media fuels the popularity of viral food trends, significantly extending their reach. These trends don’t rely on the traditional news cycle to gain momentum. On various platforms, user interactions such as likes, comments, searches, and shared posts influence the algorithms that prioritize popular content in feeds.

Social media platforms have evolved into the new culinary critics, trendsetters, and food journals of the modern digital age, each making a distinct contribution to the food culture. Users tap into the popularity of trends to create their viral content, further fueling the trend’s momentum. This dynamic offers various opportunities to harness these food trends—whether as a marketing tool, a source of inspiration for menu development, or a guide to enhancing food presentation.

Viral Food Trends: Impact on Modern Cuisine

Popular food trends often originate and spread primarily through social media platforms. TikTok is a popular social media platform that allows users to create and share 15- to 60-second video clips on a wide range of topics, including cooking, restaurant reviews, culinary tips, and trending food ideas. Its user base continues to grow rapidly, with people from around the world engaging in TikTok food challenges and adding their creative spins to the original ideas.

Examples like pancake cereal, avocado toast, rainbow bagels, and Dalgona coffee illustrate how visually appealing dishes can quickly become global sensations. These trends inspire both professionals and amateurs alike, encouraging them to experiment with creative recipes and refine their food presentation techniques.

The Dalgona Coffee trend reached its peak in April 2020, amassing over 366 million views and becoming one of TikTok’s most popular viral food phenomena. It seemed like everyone turned into a Starbucks barista overnight, embracing the trend’s rise. The Dalgona Coffee’s visually striking appearance and the satisfying process of whisking it made it perfect for social media virality.

Although baked feta spaghetti began as a TikTok culinary trend, it quickly spread across social media platforms, becoming one of the most popular recipes. Many people shared their additions and variations, which helped the dish gain widespread appeal due to its rich, flavorful taste and simplicity of preparation.

Rainbow bagels, with their vibrant swirls and Funfetti cream cheese topping, have also captured the attention of social media users. Despite existing for some time, influencers seem particularly enamored with this colorful food trend. The visual appeal of rainbow bagels has made them a standout trend, especially on TikTok.

The avocado toast trend has not only become a staple on menus but has also sparked a wave of memes, evolving into a viral food trend. Its customizable nature makes it an ideal subject for social media photography. Food bloggers and influencers highlight the significance of such food trends and the crucial role social media plays in amplifying the appeal of visually striking dishes like avocado toast.

TikTok food challenges have the power to bring popular trends like these and creative food hacks, such as the tortilla wrap, into the spotlight. The influence of TikTok culinary trends on food culture is significant, shaping consumer behavior and turning everyday ingredients into viral sensations. Recognizing this impact, food brands, restaurants, and even small grocery stores are increasingly paying attention to these trends, leveraging them to remain relevant in the rapidly evolving culinary landscape.

From Home-Cooked to Viral: User-Driven Content and Its Influence on Food Trends

In today’s digital landscape, user-generated content (UGC) has become increasingly significant in the food and beverage industry. Short-form video content on platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok is driving food engagement trends. By leveraging UGC, such as customer testimonials and interactive posts on YouTube cooking channels, brands can foster a community-centered approach that emphasizes authentic communication and shared experiences.

User-generated food content plays a crucial role in establishing a food brand’s legitimacy and validating current food trends. When customers share their recommendations and experiences, it adds a layer of trust and credibility, encouraging others to engage with these trends. A recent example is The Lafayette Bakery’s Suprême Croissant, which became an internet sensation.

Engagement with food trends is on the rise on these platforms, where users share videos of themselves eating and discussing their experiences, including interactions with staff. This has created a buzz, sparking a sense of urgency to try these trending foods for oneself in today’s fast-paced culinary environment.

Further, hashtags such as #foodporn and #foodchallenge have become powerful tools for driving viral food trends. By strategically leveraging these and similar hashtags, food brands and marketers can effectively reach a broader audience and generate interest in their products. For instance, the hashtag #food on TikTok has amassed over 555 billion views.

Similarly, Influencer-generated content presents a unique opportunity for food brands looking to innovate their product lines. Influencers and their followers function as engaged focus groups, offering valuable consumer insights. This content, often featuring captivating food videography and visual storytelling, appeals to a broader target market. By leveraging this approach, brands can enhance their social listening capabilities and strengthen their market presence.

Advancements in social media content by influencers are transforming the food sector by altering how people share, view, purchase, and consume food. Influencer-generated content enables marketers to reach consumers more effectively, offering concise insights and a deeper understanding of consumer markets. For the food and beverage industry, user-generated content offers numerous benefits. It promotes locally inspired culinary trends, leaves lasting impressions, and builds consumer trust. By developing campaigns driven by consumer input, brands can increase engagement and support emerging food trends that feel accessible to everyone.

User-generated food content is more than just a marketing tactic; it’s a journey that sparks excitement, fosters community-driven food trends, and brings people together. It’s akin to building relationships, creating memories, and savoring a great meal around the table.

The Impact of Social Media and Food Trends on Consumer Choices

Social media marketing in the food industry significantly influences eating habits across age groups. Case studies on food trends reveal how exposure to food-related posts on social media shapes users’ intentions and purchasing decisions, particularly concerning healthy eating. These platforms allow users to sample global delicacies without leaving their communities, expanding their culinary horizons.

The rise of viral food trends driven by online communities, ranging from ingredient-focused to diet-centered, has boosted the visibility of food manufacturers who engage with these trends. For example, Waitrose reported a 33% increase in feta cheese sales in May and June 2022, attributed to the ‘whipped feta’ trend. This trend was even highlighted in the British retailer’s annual food and drink report, underscoring the impact of viral food trends on digital platforms.

Food and drink have evolved from mere necessities to clickable status symbols, reflecting shifts in consumer behavior on social media, where platforms have become fertile ground for the emergence of popular food trends. Restaurants have noticed this change and actively promote these trending food fads. Additionally, the growing awareness of environmental sustainability and health-conscious lifestyles has fueled the rise of vegan food trends. Short-form videos are dispelling myths and making veganism more accessible, while trends like the keto diet have gained immense popularity, as seen in its status as the most Googled food-related term globally in 2020, surpassing even the Atkins Diet and intermittent fasting.

Social media platforms have thus become an integral part of contemporary food culture, influencing everything from dining trends to shopping habits. While these platforms can be challenging due to unfavorable reviews, they also offer unparalleled opportunities for brand promotion and engagement with food trends. They provide customers with a gateway to new culinary experiences and serve as powerful tools for community-building for businesses.
