David Dobrik has like 18 million subscribers on YouTube, and every one of his videos has views in the millions. He tours college campuses like any other act, he sells merch, and he has sponsors—none of which would be possible if he didn’t have strong brand recognition with at least one demographic. He also just bought…

Let’s keep it 100, Maria: White influencers will never HAVE to account for their racism as long as their primarily white fans and subscribers don’t give a shit if their fave is racist.

Yeah, we can laugh about their reactions to mediocre (or straight up bad in some cases) meals, but it’s going to be a shitshow across US higher ed in terms of student, faculty, and staff casualties as well as the financial solvency of institutions. A lot of colleges and universities were on shaky financial ground…

SPEAKING OF DRAG RACE, Fuck!

Just throwing this out there, and you might see me post about it a few more times:

Clinton was a terrible man/human being but he was a reasonably good president. Remember having a balanced budget? Environmental protections? Not being at war? Pepperidge Farm remembers. He was also reasonably popular.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

So, 99% of the time I’d agree with you here. My issue is that there are so very, very few symbols of average-sized (14-16, the awkward middle of straight size and plus size) female bodies out there among famous people. Outliers either embrace being very fat or are trained and money-ed down to being their most toned or…

I was blessed with a very nice body that responded well to exercise and training. Enjoyed it a lot, most of my life! Even made some money doing fitness videos and modeling.

Ate well, exercised, didn’t smoke..did all the”wellness” things, without going overboard.

Then my body got breast cancer.
Pieces of me, a breast, a…

“There’s also this inherent fear that what if it changes again, as at that moment treating success implicitly means that gaining weigth would be a failure.”

Yeah that was me in college. I got to my lowest adult weight because I was full of anxiety and just the thought of food made me nauseous. My parents said I looked amazing and wanted me to hold that weight.

Saying weight and looks don’t matter while showing they still matter a whole lot is our culture’s newest sick aspect of appearance policing.

my daily fitness journey:

It corny as all get out, but a lot of fun. Its like the parade of nations at the Olympics, what is (country) going to wear, and oh yeah here is boring (country).

This just seems so stupidly short sighed on the part of Conde Nast/BA. I used to watch at least one of the BA videos daily as my daily inoculation against COVID-induced depression, but stopped as soon as their shitty practices came to light; the fact that they offered the BIPOC talent so much less even AFTER…

I don’t see how they can continue this youtube channel. The magic is gone; hopefully they can find their own space/channels. It’s shocking that Conde Nast still refuses to pay them equal to their counterparts and that it took this whole time just to dig its heels in.

Sohla did a video with Binging with Babish last week, hopefully that means we’ll still see her guest star with other cooking youtubers or start her own thing.

I’m a mother of two and I can’t imagine how I would carry on if I lost both of my children so tragically. 

Can the Paul brothers just disappear forever? 

JFC. How much trauma can that Mom take?
