First sentence of this made me laugh aloud. And I get it, I am very insufferable when I'm feeling tight for cash! It is literally gross to think about the wealth distribution in this country/ on the planet! But it's the same reason I roll my eyes when I complain and someone says it could always be worse. Like??? And!!?? I refuse to acknowledge only the extremes.

It's way too easy to scroll past. And I love Trisha (can't friggin wait for her memoir in Nov)!!

I am glad that the store in Nantucket put up a "No influencers" sign. The irony makes me laugh because, at the same time, this has made news and is more than likely increasing their business. It's also a reminder that sometimes we need to put the phone down, touch some grass, and relax. Comparing anti-influencers to being anti feminist is just wild; I mean, how did that escalate that quickly, lol. I agree with just scrolling through and going on with your life on IG and TikTok. If someone has money and can afford the nice stuff, fine. No one is forcing anyone to buy shit we don't need; it's a choice we are all making. Marketing exists, and these influencers are just doing a job; that's all that it is.

The acting like they're a marginalized group simply because people disagree or point out their privilege does indeed send me every time lol Also the woman saying anti-influencer is anti-feminist is so wild for that.
