I remember a looooooong time ago, a documentary about people who had chosen to become monks or nuns or otherwise dedicate themselves to spirituality in a way that had them swear off earthly pleasures. One of the women interviewed attested to this fact, especially the symptoms of becoming more masculine looking with…

“The WA Administration has been made aware of a recent picture, posted on social media, which demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy’s beliefs”

She got a little dragged into some drama when Jeffree Star revealed some confidential information on her regarding her Too Faced collab. In general she tries to stay away from the shenanigans, and it helps that she lives in the Netherlands so she is physically pretty far removed from all of the LA-based YouTubers that…

Yes, this. And people saying “oh if you want to keep your personal stuff private then why are you even talking about this” in comments is so fucking stupid. Obviously she was put into a really exploitative position where this became necessary, and if you watch her vids, she is NOT the kind to overshare and stir shit…

all seriousness ... once you have kids you will know the meaning of a home.  The life you live with your kids in your home is as close as any being can come to closing the circle.  The missing pieces, the hidden parts, the buried treasures of life are revealed with the birth and life of your children with you in your…

I don’t understand why the public become such marks for it

YouTube is not like cable access. No one on cable access has the opportunity for that many eyeballs.

Your old-person-yells-at-cloud is showing.

I imagine Markle elegantly vaping some choice cannabis from an elegant vape pen and hiding her phone in another room so she can’t hear it vibrate.

The finale of The Office, an extremely popular TV show that had “celebrities” on it, had under 4 million viewers. Nikkie’s coming out video currently has over 16 million views. Does this help you understand? Or do you just hate the internet as a platform for people getting famous?

So I just saw a thread on Twitter saying there was a Dutch forum from early 2018 where someone wanted to out her because a photographer who was friends with some other Youtube celebrity (named Jiami) saw her passport and it had an M on it. Other comments were like “oh this is known but she hasn’t come out publicly”.

Camped out on Vancouver Island with son Archie, she awaits the arrival of her betrothed so the two can finally begin their new lives as influencers and rich charity donors

By cable TV I mean any service that has “channels.” It could be OTA, physical coaxial cable into your home, satellite, or paid streaming service.

Vividly remember finding Nikkie’s Top Shelf article. I was so struck by her beauty, and immediately found her relatable, funny, & inspiring (this is coming from me, a person who constantly snarks at youth youtube culture shenanigans). Now, consider me an official fan without watching any of her videos but this one. Th…

I kind of want her to name names too—mainly because I can’t shake the feeling that it’s someone in the beauty guru/makeup community or adjacent to it. I’m not sure what it is that’s giving me this impression. I don’t even have anyone in mind because I can’t imagine someone who would be this disgusting. But if it IS…

Yep, that account belongs to his sister, Lisa Blandino, who is her own little kettle of crazy and terrible.

Do cable TV celebrities also confuse you as a concept?

I REALLY want Nikkie to expose the blackmailers. Or blackmail them back. She is one of the only YouTubers to be around this long on the platform who still really puts in the work. Her videos are high quality, she puts a lot of thought and creativity into them, and posts on a regular basis. I can’t think of any other…

I moved in with my brother after grad school for this reason. We were both in our mid-30s, still way too broke. By teaming up we managed to build some financial stability, repair a lot of family damage, and get on our feet again. It was the best decision we ever made. 

I need to start referring to myself as a Power Spinster. 

This is the funniest Emily Alford line I have read: “Being married is very difficult, which is why so many people have to practice multiple times before meeting the person they will eventually die with.”
