They seem so disconnected. The more we learn about Prissy and see how he is with Steven the more he reminds me of Jen Ross and how she treated Don. He goes to bed so early and walks up early, and his partner is at work a lot. It doesn’t sound like the spend that much time together. Much like the Ross couple, but a reprieve for Steven I’m sure


Also, didn’t he share that one of his favourite books was the Glennon Doyle one about self care and blowing up your marriage?

Facebook is really a cesspool these days

is there a social media platform where you can only post kitten pics? there needs to be one

I want to see the overseas trip this week but feel like it will be real camping. I wonder if she'll set up a camera to get action shots of her digging her poo hole

FB & IG should be shut down, for good. I know it'll never happen but let me dream.

OFF TOPIC ?

Is anyone else having problems with instagram RIGHT NOW???????

I've been watching Life Uncontained for over a year now. This married couple is building a home from two shipping containers, doing virtually all the work themselves. They upload one +- 15 minute video weekly. They have had two children during this project but the channel is not about the children. The wife's filming and editing skills have become wonderful over time. They are just a delight to watch. unlikeJen

The influencers started with Paris Hilton and the Kardashians. People who are famous for being famous. They showed off their wealth, they partied, shopped, partied, shopped, and did it some more. Platforms grew, bored housewives who were rich discovered they could be just like the uber rich. They could shop and show off their wealth on YouTube, no paparazzi were stalking them, but they were gaining subscribers. YT offered them a way to make some money just being themselves, they could monetize their feeds. Then as friends told friends, the stores where they shopped, the products they mentioned, got in on the action. Sponsorships! But there are limits to how many watch, and how many of those actually bought based on ads and sponsors. I never watched Gene or Manky except parts of their vids which were being snarked on. Ms Gold Girl used to shop at Nordstrom's, her spending cash dried up, the oldest went to college, Stumpy retired, and she became a spokesmodel for Walmart! Gene finally divorced Don, after thinking about it for years, no more pointless errands, martini Mondays, taco Tuesdays, monthly favorites, what is in my purse, empties, shopping hauls, no more anything that got her followers and kept them. And many others have quit SM because it became a chore, they needed time to be with family, or a hundred other reasons. Paris Hilton is a mother and no longer whores herself out with appearances in yachts, at parties, etc. The Kardashians are imploding, the real housewives are no longer real. Covid really was a big part, shopping to show off was hard to do when stores were closed. Restaurants were closed, the uber rich all the way down to the “look at meeeeee, don’t you wish you were meeeeee?” were locked up in their homes. The cycles were broken. Remember MTV? When it was all music videos, all the time? Then it changed, and videos seemed to be over. Cycles broke. I do not watch Bill Maher, he is a blow hard at times, but he is also right at times. Influencers are not influencing many these days.

TLDR, sorry.

I personally prefer watching normal people who admit to struggling in life but inspire through perseverance. I don't need to watch a perfect lifestyle with LV bags and Wednesday brunch with the girls. It is unattainable for me therefore why suffer. The majority of these influencers never had a job, I can't relate.
Show me a working mom in sweatpants on a saturday struggling to catchup while the dog ate her leather wallet, the toddler spilled his orange juice on the white sofa and her Hobby Lobby coupon expired. I am in!
