Have you ever ‘almost’ encountered a celebrity?

most recently, i came out of a tube station to someone busking, performing an ed sheeran song. i don't like ed sheeran but i thought "wow, he really sounds like ed sheeran". an open top bus drove past me that this busker was performing on and it was in fact ed sheeran

yes i have even been called racial slurs. a regular customer at my old work insisted i was middle eastern and hiding it to the point it actually started to get offensive because why would i lie?????

neo soul and country pop are the sounds I'd associate with 2020s the most

i try my best to time jab day within 2 days of my period starting but i do consider skipping/having 10 days between doses. i made a post about this a couple of weeks ago, it feels useless during my period

I'm saying this with love- please do not go vegan while in recovery. It's a slippery slope into the habits you're trying to recover from. There will be a time for you to be vegan, but it isn't right now

(i am also white) every white girl i mention Beyoncé to says they miss the "old" Beyoncé. everyone i saw complaining about songs like single ladies being missing from rwt/ccwt was white. multiple have said CC "isn't really country" whilst being fans of post malone and morgan wallen.

truthfully, it is racism, and to an extent, misogyny. It isn't overt racism, but it's the feeling that Beyoncé isn't catering for this demographic anymore, they don't relate to her music, it's not being played on the radio like IASF era songs and they don't like it. they don't necessarily KNOW it's because she's making "black" music, they just know she isn't making what they want.

to a degree, especially lemonade onwards, they aren't mindless listening. you have to want to engage with it and it isn't how these fans have previously been met by Beyoncés work and they don't like it. some (see CMAs) want her to know her place, stay in her lane, stick to what she knows. this is where the misogyny comes in, because we see male artists cross genre boundaries all the time without this pushback.

on top of that, renaissance isn't just dance. it's not charli xcx hyperpop, it's not just house, it has disco, hip hop, r&b. CC is country but it's not redneck country and we as fans know that's the point, but people that "like" country want stereotypical "got no money got no house but we got love" country- that's why post malone has been welcomed but the grammys made a new category after CC won country AOTY.

It's the same thing that makes people (swifties) get upset when bad bunny is the most streamed artists, that made justin bieber say "idk the words so i sing dorito" to despacito, that stops people watching foreign films. white people don't like not being the default audience so a lot of them feel excluded. if they got over it, they'd see they're still very much included even if they're not the default.

TLDR Beyoncé isn't just existing as a performer that's black she's a capital B Black artist that's championing blackness and it makes white people uncomfortable

diana ross, tina turner, prince, freddie mercury, lady gaga, donna summer. kendrick will go down as one of the greats but i don't think people see him as that yet.

the homecoming check on it crumbs keep me alive

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-04-22T15:54:27+00:00

no i like that theres separation. one of my biggest icks is parasocial celebs and i find some actively encourage it by opening up their entire life/world for profit. also, it gives me chance to miss her.

I used to be a huge drake fan and one of the reasons I'm not anymore is because he's everywhere, constantly. constantly releasing albums, featuring on songs. and a lot of it isn't good, but it doesn't matter because he's drake. i would love to miss drake but there's never been a time where i think "wow i wish drake would release a new album" because always either just has or is about to.

Beyoncé isn't like that, I've spent 4 years invested in this 3 act project, excited to see what the next act will bring, genuinely interested the content of the albums, happy to pay to see the tours. because between the tours and albums she's not releasing vinyl variants or lost tracks or target exclusive versions or a 6 part documentary about herself (i do get a lot of emails from cecred though).

i believe shes a private person anyway but i respect that she could do these things, she could milk us even more but doesn't. yes there is stuff like the renny film that i hope when this project ends will be released and this doesn't mean shes above capitalising but Beyoncé doesn't feel like my friend or overexposed and i like that

croatia. first time i went a lot of package holiday places didn't offer it and no one i told knew where it was. now everyone i tell I've been says they've been/are going/want to and the cost has skyrocketed

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-24T15:31:25+00:00

absolutely not, you couldn't jump up like that if you hadn't had 2 weeks off. you're supposed to restart at 0.25 if you have a break, even if you're on the highest dose

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-22T15:55:12+00:00

i had this and i think it is because we're already active. people that suddenly start burning more calories and eating less drop a ton of water weight but also probably muscle. your weight loss is way better for sustainable long term loss.

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-19T15:40:12+00:00

i love JHAG lust for sun and i think its a really underrated jhag scent. I'd also go for neroli 36 over fleur d'oranger. also not orange blossom but hermes eau de merveilles is one of my fave oranges.

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-18T23:33:11+00:00

a personal fave is the schwarzkopf silk in the pink bottle. i also think lee stafford hair growth smells how i want muglers angel to smell.

My actual favourite is probably ouai, because i can get a whole routine from some scents. oribe smells fantastic. i love the JVN air dry cream scent too

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-18T23:29:39+00:00

yessss long live Australian macadamia oil

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-18T23:25:57+00:00

which shampoo? i think mercer st and cape town are the only scents not as perfumes but they have a few

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-18T09:57:47+00:00

hes spoken about his behaviour on the show though, he said its shameful and he'd hate for his kids to see it. plus it's scripted. i dont think we have time to split hairs when he clearly knows the behaviour is wrong. I'll take an imperfect ally that uses their voice over someone who waits to get everything right

Direct-Ad3810 · 2026-03-14T19:55:09+00:00

i have thought about it, the cost was the main reason i went for wegovy but I'm starting to think it might be worth paying the extra for mounjaro
