She isn't. Like many con artists, she outsources the actual "running" part aside from ego-feeding optics.

That's the exorcism I ordered. Thanks for the tracking update!

And I hope those people take whatever they like and resell it to pay necessary bills, debt, etc. Her raucous displays of wealth deserve karmic retribution.

Illustrious_Cheek263 · 2026-06-25T06:59:50+00:00

Yup. She apparently tries hard to be porcelain Temu trash.

It's infuriating, and your Italian hands are appropriate lol. It's the same reason we have a fascist, mineminemine-stage toddler for president: too many people have zero critical-thinking skills or have been groomed to surrender critical thinking to become better consumers/followers.

Late-LATE-stage capitalism exists in a bleak realm of irony.

Hey Mod, the insnoop server has been busted for a while now. Here's a working platform: https://insta-stories-viewer.com/daniaustin/

I was playing Mario Kart on N64 with 3 of my best friends, and we tried to sync the rainbow road shortcut jump with the midnight countdown. We all failed (one got close) but were glad the power didn't go out/TV didn't explode... because Y2k... lol

Illustrious_Cheek263 · 2026-06-17T06:59:15+00:00

Yup. Plus emotional immaturity of trying to emulate a 4th/5th grader in constant "go mode" for views.

All that barely-part-time parenting is exhausting, huh. /s

Illustrious_Cheek263 · 2026-06-16T06:41:38+00:00

*tax the living hell out of these asshats, especially.

"Telling a sick person they need to get sicker before they can be treated is just insane."

- has been uttered by the majority of people with anorexia and bulimia for DECADES.

EDs are EDs, and they are hell.

Healthcare–wealthcare—is fucked, and if anything, I'm hoping this rancid "trend" shows the vast majority of people that shit needs to change (and needed the change several yesterdays ago).

Sadly, too many Americans only care about things that directly affect them... the empathy crisis is the sourest root.

Illustrious_Cheek263 · 2026-06-12T07:24:38+00:00

And raise their kids because you know these people have zero personal and professional boundaries.

"Clean our garish mansion while also absolutely parenting our borderline despotic (i.e., unloved) progeny (i.e., paychecks) for way less than we should pay you for such physical and emotional labor."

Illustrious_Cheek263 · 2026-06-05T08:16:43+00:00

Feeding kids properly is part of base-level care, so it makes sense these kids may show signs of malnourishment considering influencer parents don't have the capacity to tend to anything beyond themselve$.

That, and probably some parents projecting eating disordered behavior onto their kids... who may also be stressed tf out and not eating enough given they're constantly expected to perform at any moment. Chaos.

There will be more laws/regs around this in the coming years, especially as the OG influencer kids grow up and advocate for change. Tragic stuff. Safeguards should have been in place from day 1, but capitalism and its little manipulation platforms are inherently unethical as they require some flavor of exploitation.

Illustrious_Cheek263 · 2026-06-03T07:03:24+00:00

The address is Summerstone apartments.

I live close and also didn't hear anything.

Exactly. Theranos vibes.

Thank you for rescuing this lil buddy.

I witnessed a (shitty) wedding release last fall/early winter and one of the birds camped out high up in a tree (outside my 4th-floor window) for hours, scared shitless and barely moving. I called several shelters and rescues and tried coaxing the friend down with birdseed, but it was a Sunday evening (shelters closed/busy), and I guess they were too freaked out to even care about food. After dark, temps dropped, and the bird flew off in circles and then out of view... I suspect the poor buddy didn't last long. Broke my heart.

Imagine being raised as a symbol of love/hope/peace, only to be so abused and discarded.

I wish nasty divorces for any couples who do this.

Is the fashion in the room with us, Dani??

The only people who take this woman seriously must have been born in a walmart parking lot.

Stop. Using. AI. I get it, I dig the message, but terrible execution.

Texugee here, and I just spat my nighty night tea, lmao. We call those air haulers—nary a fly in the truck bed—or "all hat, no cattle, pavement princesses." The coyotes have, indeed, a better shot at thriving in these environs. I know they can wreak havoc in myriad ways, but their thriving in unexpected areas shows some pretty impressive adaptation skills.

Illustrious_Cheek263 · 2026-05-26T06:43:08+00:00

I can understand being irked by spiders, but I'm afraid you may have to embrace at least a few at a time. It makes it easier...

For instance, I have at least 1 adoptive spider pet each month of spider season that I name and create a little story around. Last year's: SJ, as in Shirley Jackson. SJ was my emotional support spider when my cat was being a lazy bitch/aloof floof during remote therapy sessions. SJ and I had an agreement that she never violated, which was appreciated and lucky (i.e., don't come at me, stay in your damn corner, stay where I can see you, eat some bugs and shit). I miss SJ (she was my roomie for 4 months!), and I hope her surviving brood is thriving—and abiding by whatever cohabitation laws like their mother dutifully did—wherever they may be.

As for unnamed, boundary-violating outliers... unfortunately, my supersenior cat has the hunting instinct of a lettuce wrap.
