last night, i chewed 7 ice breakers ice cubes article grape natural artificial flavor sugar-free gums at all once. the compulsive chewing of gum that was the size of silly putty in my mouth definitely contributed to a jaw line. maybe thats why koreans have good law lines? we like chewing? we like chewing gum, rice cakes, gopchang (small intestines, don’t fucking @ me), nangmyun (chewy noodles). you fucking welcome for this jaw. anyway, the flavor of the gum disappeared after 10 minutes of chewing it. pretty disappointed with the “long-lasting flavor” that was labeled on the package.
a random question. has anyone else been getting porn bots on instagram watch their stories? i get at least 10 porn bots per story and they come on top of my feed, so i do my civic duty to report them. either it’s a third-party source of anonymous viewing or pornstars really want me to watch and pay them. speaking of instagram, everything that facebook touches (owns) is ruined. i don’t know who instgram talked to about adding the reels feature dead center of the screen…ya’ll made a mistake. i avoid that button like the plaque.
i’ve been thinking about cancel culture for the past year, specifically the impact it has done in the past few months with fashion and beauty labels. it’s interesting that online shaming provides: 1) a distraction of what’s really going on (XYZ is not the only place practicing these controversial topics), 2) it provides an illusion of control (to whom particularly? are we winning?) and 3) it is not transparent - it creates more secrecy within the organization or an individual. i haven’t been doing enough reading on this subject yet, but have been keeping up with friends who publicly post XYZ to shame them online and to protect “others”. in the end i wonder, who are you protecting? does it work besides your inner circle? screenshot and share? i will have to think about that.
q: what do you think? are there more pros and cons to cancel culture/online shaming?
i’ve also been thinking a lot about online activism and BTS. ARMY members could straight up logistically defeat the US military via social media. i actually got recruited from the military to work on social media with them. i was like O_O and took a selfie of myself to reassure myself that im still a human with emotions. anyways back to BTS, yes, there is something special about this “activism” work and the power of fandom. i should read into this more as well. yes, im an ARMY member and am recommending you to listen to BTS’ new album.
music: i deadass cried on the F train listening to “drankin n smokin” by future x lil uzi vert. i don’t know what was going on in my head. yes, i’m still listening to ariana grande’s positions album. i probably know all the lyrics to her songs. i have absolutely the worst music listening habit, so please bear with me.
thinking about fka twigs.
fashion: i have been obsessed with my camperlab trakori boots for the past two months now. yes, they were pricey (model money), but these boots are everything. i wanted the jill sanders x uniqlo collaboration, but it sold out in like a day. people need to wear more silver jewelry.
i want to go ride a pony. never ridden one. they look cute.
skincare: i cannot fucking believe most people don’t wear sunscreen? excuse me? this is the key to youthful skin - dermatologist recommended! it’s sunscreen! get a 2:1 sunscreen/moisturizer if you hate having a routine? throw that shit on your face!
lil xan is only a year younger than me.
