don’t keep sweatin’ what I do 'cause I’m gonna be just fine
Ooh this looks dark, I like it!
Here are some of mine:
Jenna Phipps: she’s got a lot of creative content, currently focusing on completely rebuilding an abandoned home, but her older content features lots of crochet and sewing (plus her two cute dogs!). I like her for her positive attitude and silly/goofy personality.
Jordan Theresa: she does long-form video essays about pop culture through a feminist lens. I love how she deconstructs issues; she’s got a lot of thought-provoking takes. Her editing style can sometimes be a bit too frenetic for my taste, but I might be a bit older than her target audience.
Kidology: another feminist video essayist. She covers similar topics to Jordan Theresa, but with a way less bubbly presentation. She also shares a lot of interesting thoughts about her experiences as an interracial adoptee, and the difficulty in fitting into a culture different to your own.
State of Kait: she does mostly beauty and pop culture commentary videos (which to be fair, I skip a lot of the ones about celebrities), but has started pivoting into analysis of influencer trends and how these can affect viewers. She also talks about being neurodivergent and having a chronic illness, which I find interesting.
Fitness KayKay: great workouts and a positive attitude!
The Fairy Voice Mother: she’s a vocal coach who analyzes live vocal performances, talking about technique and music theory. Plus she’s super charming!
Angelica Nyqvist: she’s a former makeup artist who creates really colorful makeup looks, and shares what new makeup products are coming out. I’m mostly interested in her videos with indie makeup. She gives me a lot of great ideas to try with my own makeup!
I don’t know specifically what you’re going through, but I can relate. Perimenopause has been rough. Have a hug (I hope this is the right emoji) 🙇🏻♀️
Can you share a pic? I’d love to see!
Ooh I don’t know what a Korok is, but I wanna be friends with this little leaf :) Very cool!
I do agree that getting men on board is key to ending the patriarchy, but to be honest it really annoys me that we have to make them see how the patriarchy harms them before they’ll give a shit about how it harms us. Society will always cater to men in this way. But we’ll never improve how women are treated without the help and support of men.
Wow this is super adorable, well done you!
Oh man. For TV characters there are a bunch. Xena, Buffy, Kira Nerys…I love strong women. And Donna Noble - strong in a different way, likeable and annoying and relatable. Dana Scully for being smart and skeptical.
For real people, I guess I think Marie Curie was pretty badass. Physicist, chemist, female scientist in a time when women were pretty much never taken seriously. Her research into radioactivity revolutionized so much of science and medicine and she did it in the face of soooo much misogyny and xenophobia. She seems like such an interesting woman.
I like Angelina Jolie, as you say she’s a humanitarian, plus she seems like she’d be fun to grab a beer with.
She’s such a class act!
I’m vibing with turquoise too! And also purples :)
Answered!
Ready Steady Go by Generation X!
Brunch or dinner?
Tough one… I’m picking hike! I love the cool quiet of the forest, especially if it’s a pine forest.
Thanks CheeseToastie - I had a cup of tea (my solution to all of life’s problems) and prep is going a bit better now.
I’m really struggling today guys. Peri brain fog is bad and I can’t concentrate or hold a train of thought. I’m retired so usually it doesn’t affect me too badly, but I do still do some consulting, and I’ve got a meeting this afternoon that I’m trying to prep for. I’m actually in tears from the frustration of just trying to focus on the few remaining tasks on my plate. Everything is overwhelming and I just feel broken today.
New shoes! Summer’s coming and I could use a new pair of Chucks.
I do own a few handbags but most days I stick with my chain wallet.
That’s not exclusively British.
You’re gonna do great :)
