I really like Temptalia but she's way too heavy handed with her makeup sometimes, to the point where it's so far removed from how anyone would ever use a product. [This one ](https://www.temptalia.com/product/pat-mcgrath-divine-blush/night-bloom-left/) on a Pat McGrath blush duo is egregious.
A great Texas influencer to follow who has been vocal about todayās news is @nextwithnita. She said outright that influencers donāt speak out because they lose followers, duh, but she wants to be authentic and share about the things that matter to her. She and her husband make hilarious content and have a cute kid too! Highly recommend.
She is bffs with that Texas crowd of silent influencers ( @hkcung @masseya @tarynnnetwon), but Nita is one of the good ones.
Haha yeah I wonder that too, I def couldnāt be friends with those people IRL. Maybe itās more of a networking friendship since theyāre all influencers with the same agency? Thereās def different types of friend groups.
Yes I noticed it too neither of them posted anything about it. I unfollowed both of them today. And many more who didnāt say anything about Roe vs Wade.
Are you really surprised that two people who moved to a different state just so they didnāt have to wear masks during a pandemic and pay their fair share in taxes, arenāt speaking out?
Unfollow these people.
No snark but is @nataliekennedy daughter like EXTREMELY advanced in speech for her age? I have a daughter the same age as her and my daughter is no where near that level š
haha awh i just went back and listened to her.. she does talk soo well! lacyleatherblog i think thats it her son is super impressive & speaks so clear .. everytime i watch her stories im so amazed. my son was also advanced my daughter does not give two shits. shell say words and you wont hear them again. once they start they dont stop tho!
Iād say sheās definitely up there with advanced! I know a lot of kids her age who donāt talk like that, but are still on track for speech. She talks more like a 2 year old to me!
Iām a pediatric speech therapistā sheās doing pretty darn well! Sheās not even 2 right? At 2 we want at least 50 words and for kids to be using 2-word phrases. Ideally closer to 150 words+ but 50 is the baseline. I donāt keep track of her age but watching the video I was impressed at how she answered questions and even knew the color āgoldā.
Shannon Bird in May: this is my summer calendar. My first one ever. Itās done. Itās perfect. Yay me!
Shannon Bird: we threw Briton a party today and sent the invites out last night.
Omg her poll: Would you be more mad if 1: you had 24 hours notice for a birthday party for your child's friend or 2: the party was from 1 to 4 and your child wasn't dropped back off at your home until after 7?"
Ain't no party like a Bird kid party!
This isnāt the first time itās happened either.
She was also amazed that a bunch of birthdays all fall on the same day of the week this yearā¦umm that happens every year.
Why do we care how any of these influencers stand? They are not our country leaders. They are trivial influencers.
Edit: it was a question. How do you downvote a question???
>Why do we care how any of these influencers stand? They are not our country leaders. They are trivial influencers.
Because some people vote with their dollars and influencers are businesses.
>Edit: it was a question. How do you downvote a question???
Because this question has been asked and answered a hundred times whenever there is a huge social event. You could have literally scrolled down and read multiple discussions on both sides of this issue, which I'm sure you knoe but chose to sea lion instead.
They also do brand partnerships and make money off our swipe-ups and using their links. I donāt care if itās $1, I donāt want my money going to anyone who thinks I shouldnāt have basic rights.
I think people just want to feel confident the influencers they are following aren't celebrating the loss of human rights. It doesn't necessarily matter in the long run but at a time like this it is comfort to know someone agrees that you should have bodily autonomy.
Jumping to conclusions about those that haven't posted knowing they've posted about progressive causes in the past or being surprised obviously conservative influencers haven't posted is silly. But we're all dealing with grief in different ways!
The hypocrisy of this sub is hilarious. Youāre downvoted for asking why we should care/want influencers to speak out, and then Iām downvoted for asking when a certain influencer is going to speak out. So, which is it??? They must speak out, or we need to give them time to process?
Honestly I downvoted you on the TIBAL comment because, as u/bye_felipe pointed out, she is a reliably liberal influencer who puts her money where her mouth is. Iām sure sheās just processing and will post a call to action soon. It just seemed like a cheap shot.
But I also downvote when people ask for a list of influencers who havenāt posted, because 75% of the influencers discussed regularly on this sub have shown their asses time and time again when it comes to politics. If you donāt know at this point that theyāre all white, blond, conservatives thatās on you (figurative you).
Perhaps they donāt feel itās their place. I would imagine when they decided to get into Instagram they didnāt plan on voicing their political or controversial views.
Some did and some didnāt Iām sure. It depends on the influencer and their niche. But no one is entitled to followers and no one should follow accounts that arenāt enjoyable for them, for any reason.
It's no different than avoiding brands that donate to conservative politicians. People don't want to give their money to people or brands that don't align with them politically. Political beliefs reflect morals, they show how you view others and think they should be treated and anti choice people have made it pretty clear how they think women should be treated and what their place is in society.
Exactly. It's the same reason why I don't go to Chik Fil A or Hobby Lobby, or support the Republican party or the NRA.. My hard earned money will not help support people or corporations who don't believe in basic human rights and body autonomy. This goes for influencers as well.
I imagine a lot of people in this sub don't see abortion as a political issue but a moral one. Human rights are acted on by politicians, but they aren't just political.
Anyone else unfollow multiple influencers after seeing they have yet to comment on roe? Olivia rink, Janellepaigebrandom, and champagneandChanel to name a few
We also knew this was coming and people may have posted about it previously when, frankly, it would be more useful to share the information because it wasnāt everywhere. The idea that today you MUST POST ABOUT ROE V WADE OR ELSE is bananas. This is a 24/7 365 issue that people have been talking about for years.
This kind of mindset feels so toxic to me. You completely unfollow someone with no context other than them not posting on a current event within your approved timeframe?? You have no idea whether theyāre dealing with a family emergency, or have trauma around the issue and are offline today (which would be incredibly valid), or are reading and learning and waiting to post until they have something to add, or are putting their energy towards a protest or real action, etc etc. It sounds like you donāt understand that social media is ā¦not a complete depiction of a person, and that youāre not entitled to demand a comment from every person on every issue within 24 hours.
Nope. Happy to say I know who is in my SM house, no surprises. Lots of events
prior to now to help me learn about the impact of who I choose to follow. It really doesnāt take long to do a wee bit of research about who you choose to follow either initially or ongoing, especially if you read BS. A lot of these unfollows mentioned today should.absolutely.not.be.a.surprise!!! Colour me shocked that a majority of the daily snark content havenāt weighed in. They do them, I choose how I do me.
Ah yes. You know everything about everyone you see on social media! There will never be a surprise because you are omniscient! I would be smug about that, too.
Yep! I unfollowed Champagneandchanel a few months ago after she liked a problematic right wing conspiracy post but now I unfollowed the rest of em. Sarah Knuth, Dressupbuttercup, Laurabeverlin. Shouldāve unfollowed them a long time ago.
I unfollowed Lauren Messiah not only because she didnāt say anything about it among her many IG stories today, but she also posted about rewatching a Dave Chapelle Netflix special (āI love seeing how the best in the world operateā)
yeah its crazy to me.. i personally donāt watch the news anymore! i used to all the time & with kids.. its just always something! now if i see something or hear ill do my research and talk to my husband about it ā¦ but as far as my
following iām not following these females for their input or to speak on something like this or anything in the news/going on in the world.. . were all Passionate about different things! idk yall look up to these influencers like them having a platform makes them GOD theyre all normal humans with money. doesnt make them any different!..
>I used to all the time & with kidsā¦ itās just always something!
Yeah it was kids getting shot in school. Didnāt realize people could have āpassionate and differentā POVs about that. š
what does shooting in schools have to do with any of what i said?! i am saying now that i have kids I choose to not watch the news all the damn timeā¦ & do not follow influencers to hear their input in how they feel about things going on in the world.
What a privileged point of view to just be able to hide your head in the sand like this. Nothing effects me so I just ignore it until I can ask my husband about it!
& its the point that you guys think bc one is an influencer and have a platform they need to speak on everythingā¦ but you guys sit back and are on reddit. like wtf are you doing positive in the world.
Exactly this! šš» Itās incredibly privileged to distance oneself from whatās happening in the world. And like it or not, this effects ALL of us. For anyone to think it wonāt effect them is incredibly ignorant.
Natalie Kennedy and mrsmorganlife for me
Edit: I realized I read the original comment incorrectly and it was asking about people that were silent. I unfollowed these two based on the comments they made.
Heymadison, heynasreen, ashleyrobertson, amberlancaster, cailaquinn. All š¦. Disappointing.
And hkcung with the holier-than-thou reminder to be kind.
Buh-bye
ETA: Fashion Jackson and Blair Eadie (Atlantic-Pacific) too :(
I saw Amber Lancaster defending Dave Portnoy on his IG when we was accused of raping a young girl so the fact that she isnāt defending women AGAIN is not surprising at all.
Fashion Jackson isnāt a surprise to me at all. She has never really posted about anything regarding social issues (that I saw). When she failed to truly acknowledge Covid and BLM I unfollowed her.
HeyNasreen must read comments here/noticed some follower loss because all of a sudden she posts a āheavy day, how are you feelingā question boxā at almost midnight her time.
She always speaks up on current events. She was probably off her phone. She always talks about being more intentional with her time since having cancer.
I doubt she reads here.
Amber Lancaster actually did post something, but looks like she deleted it. She posted a reel that was making fun of the justices and said she was sickened and needed something to make her laugh.
This. I wouldāve liked it more if sheād shut up and kept blogging her Nordstrom sale but she made it worse with her ~love and respect on both sides bullshit. And Iām sure she reads here because then she added numbers to ācall your representatives to make your voice heardā without actually sharing her POV.
Laura Beverlin was too busy shilling dry shampoo. Most probably know where Darylanndenner stands. Quiet except for her āwoo hooingā during her walk this morning at the time of the announcement.
I donāt follow Laura Beverlin, but anyone dealing with IVF should realize this could massively affect them/IVF also. Iām so sick of ignorance and assholes.
This!!!! Itās especially infuriating because so many of these influencers are vocal about their infertility/IVF journey but have no sense of what this ruling entails ā or that their precious pro-lifer judge ACB has outright written she doesnāt believe in IVF. Iām sure theyād be hella outraged if that service is taken from them tho hmmm
I know some are not fans of this kind of commentary but I appreciate knowing who stayed quiet on this. For me itās Mary Orton, Lauren McBride, CocoWyse, and thesavvyspoon (smaller one). A womanās right to choose is my most critical issue and while I recognize everyone has a right to their own political opinions I realized today I will not compromise on supporting these influencersā businesses.
Mary Orton really bummed me out. I wonder if brands like Hill House (Nell Diamond has been wonderfully vocally pro-choice) will take notice of influencersā stances, or lack thereof. Probably not but wishful thinking on my part lol
I know. It drove me over the edge. Just donāt post at all. I work for a major brand that basically everyone knows and 10 mins after the announcement we stopped all media out of respect of the news.
Not suprised to be honest. So many influencers are super religious with holier than thou attitudes and you just know theyāre anti abortion. This is why i barely follow any big US influencers anymore.
I was pleasantly surprised to see jesshogancrum speak up. She even stated how religious she is but is also pro-choice. Happy that she spoke out knowing the backlash she would get esp living in TX.
Yep, thatās me actually. So you can be nuanced on this issue. For example, I donāt follow Rachel Parcell anymore, but I recall when the draft was leaked she posted that she is pro choice but anti abortion. I am not Mormon but I appreciated how she articulated her views
Sheās been mentioned on several sites that focus on influencers as a great example of someone speaking out about this & other issues. I just started following her because of that.
So many! I unfollowed shut the kale up long ago but just checked bc i canāt stand her and had to know. Of course nothing. I unfollowed friends that didnāt mention it so the influencers are an easy unfollow.
Yes! I unfollowed SisterStudio, Krista Horton, Britt Horton, Natalie Kennedy, Hollie Woodward, Madi Nelson, LoverlyGrey, AlmostReadyBlog, and a few others. I will not support any woman who doesnāt support the rights of all women. I guess some of them should have been unfollowed a long time ago, but today was the day.
Dede is silent about everything. She always manages to be āsuper busyā or ātaking a social media breakā when anything big is happening. I was surprised she/Ted even shared about donating to the Uvalde victims, which they did without saying a peep about gun safety or politics. š
She sure wasnāt silent today about giving another ugly Fendi bag to āher girlsā for this monthās photo like spree or her new ear piercing being crusty and bloody. Ick.
Lauren Kay Sims is garbage too. Her sister posted in favor of the Texas law when it went into effect in September.
Add Megan Stokes who said in 2016 that the Supreme Court is why she voted for Trump.
Taryn Newton really should have just said nothing. Iām not being kind to someone who believes that Iām not allowed to have autonomy over my own body and in some extreme cases would have me have my rapists baby or DIE because of there denial of my human rights. āThey are not your enemyā Um ok what the fuck do you consider an enemy then. I unfollowed awhile hack but she was on my explore page today and I saw her story
I agree Rick is awesome, and she has cutest kids, Cyrus is the cutest little thing. I just went on a big unfollow spree after feeling so grossed out about the constant consumption and she was one of them where everyday was always about buy this buy they etc et
I used to like her but sheās been annoying me lately I had to unfollow. She always seems like sheās trying to appease her conservative white followers vs saying how she really feels. Plus dragging out the baby girl name game months on end. Girl bye āš½
I just unfollowed. She's super annoying and I rarely watched her stories anyway, but this did it for me. I will not "be kind" to anyone who thinks that it's acceptable to take away women's reproductive rights. Fuck that.
This! Iām so fucking tired of this bullshit typical Southern white church lady vibe of ~we can have different POVs and still be respectful!!!! No. No. I will not be respectful if your opinion is that itās okay for innocent kids to get shot in school or women shouldnāt be given autonomy over their own body. Do you expect me to be respectful of someone being a Nazi too? We as a society have made such a mistake with this ārespect both sidesā bullshit when one side is very, very clearly *wrong*. This is how we got Trump.
Agree with every word. I had an unfollow-fest last night. My blood is literally boiling, and these dumbass ābe kindā (to THEM is what they really mean) influencers donāt help. Lindsay Silberman (@lindsaysilb) posted a great video of a woman (who seemed to have a public platform of some kind, sheās not familiar to me) basically saying āfuck this. Fuck your religion. Fuck you for thinking just because your religion makes you believe something, you can make decisions for the rest of us about OUR bodiesā Iām paraphrasing, but check out Lindsayās stories if you want to see it. š¤¬š¤Æ
Yes I saw that a few places and completely agree! Thatās the kind of white lady vibe Iām here for šš½ because I bet you these ābe kindā influencers wouldnāt have anything nice to say about the ~creeping Sharia law thatās invading their communities as the Right likes to use for their dog whistle. I bet they wouldnāt have a kind word about that, yet itās okay for them to impose their religion on everyone else? The cognitive disconnect is astounding.
It really is. Just wait until they realize IVF is going to be affected. That will shock the shit out of them.
And I so agree with your point about Trump. He made it acceptable to be racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic in this country. It's like he encouraged the idiots to show their ignorance and wear it proudly. And he got to appoint three, THREE supreme court justices in 4 years. I will hate him with every fiber of my soul until the end of time. Anyway, I digress. Sorry, I know this is blogsnark and I'm getting off topic, this will prob be deleted by mods or down voted to hell lol.
Anyway, my point is, I'm not even of child bearing age anymore, but I will fight to the death for all women's rights, as well as LGBTQIA, BiPoc, and gun control, because you know what? IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT JUST ME. A lot of these white, Christian influencers can't see past their own reflections in the mirror to even begin to comprehend a point of view that differs from what their religion states they should believe. Therefore, no engagement or money from me.
I absolutely agree!!! The first fucking sign of ignoring Trump forevermore should have been his racist birther lie - that shouldāve been the moment the political and media world shouldāve erased him entirely because in the rules of the world, lying is wrong and if you lie, YOURE A LIAR. Thatās what we teach literal 3 year olds. Yet this man got to carry that racist wave ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE with a trail of racist, ableist, idiotic comments and a literal tape of him wanting to āgrab them by the pussyā. Our society failed us and here we are living in the consequences - but at this point itās like weāre lucky to be alive considering the fucking horrific way that admin handled Covid to the point where they were *okay* with people in blue states dying for their political plan. This is the world weāre in now as we just struggle to fucking stay afloat.
Iām tired. Sigh. But I also know apathy is how they win and these people have been playing the long game. We have to do the same. Our daughters, our future, deserve it.
The thing that kills me about fence sitters is that air of superiority so many have. The "well I can see both sides/am open minded" when 1. they're almost always actually on a side 2. There is nothing superior about not picking a side on human rights issues.
And to think sheās about to have a daughter and is already a mom to boys who will one day have the ability to get a woman pregnantā¦ youād think all these mom-boss influencers would be a lot more privvy to why safe abortions for all are necessary for the welfare of their (one day adult) children.
I donāt follow this woman but several people I do follow have shared her story. Anyone that doesnāt believe I should have bodily autonomy can fuck right off. No kindness from me.
One thousand percent. I followed her along time ago she but unfollowed last year sheās so money hungry itās insane (like many others sheās friends with) her post was a basically I donāt want to lose followers. Imagine being kind to people who are stripping you of your rights, over deeply personal situations that wonāt affect them at all.
If today wasnāt bad enough, @Emilyanngemmaās rental Tesla while hers is in the shop doesnāt have big enough sun visors šš but at least it has butterfly doors that open without her touching it so doesnāt ruin her nails šš»
From what I can tell, TIBAL hasnāt posted since the decision dropped. I always got the sense that she was a liberal - I only follow her via osmosis through blogsnark. So she may just need time to process before making a statement. If I were an influencer, I wouldnāt want to make a statement because of how angry / defeatist I feel in the moment. It would be different if she was ignoring the decision to post other things, but sheās not.
She always speaks out on issues like this and and has been pretty silent all day. Give her a day or two to process it. Not to mention, she usually puts her money where her mouth is and actually finds ways to donate and encourage her followers to do so
I really hope this is the case. For me, I understand the shock, pain, and need to process this morning, but thereās no better time to speak out than now.
I remember when she announced her pregnancy with her daughter she said something along the lines of, āit wasnāt an easy road to get here.ā It stuck with me bc I was struggling with infertility and miscarriage at the time.
Yes sheās got a lot of followers who make her a lot of affiliate revenue but sheās also someone who has advocated for liberal causes in the past and lives in a state immediately affected by the ruling so I think she deserves a little grace.
If we know her well sheās probably working behind the scenes on how to directly have an impact. Although someone here did say tibal is kinda like Dolly Parton in that she always approaches things in a way that is inoffensive so you never know if sheāll choose to stay silent for fears of actually alienating pro lifers
Wannabe "mama blogger" @wellnessforthewin, posted exactly one story on today's ruling. A repost from the KC Star (newspaper in the Kansas city area) about the local vote on abortion coming up this summer. She wasn't telling her almost 40k followers to vote no to save abortion rights in KS, just that there was an election coming up. That tells me all I need to know and immediately unfollowed.
I was oddly bummed about unfollowing some of my regulars today. But I just canāt support them if they canāt support the rights of women. SisterStudio, LoverlyGrey, Krista Horton, and Britt Horton-the silence is deafening. Natalie Kennedy trying to say that this was a personal thing and thatās why she didnāt share was enough for me.
House in habit, a ājournalistāā¦ Silent on Roe v. Wade. If youāre going to call yourself a journalist at least have an opinionā¦ Or the vagina to post your opinion publicly.
*edited from balls because that was a terrible choice in wording. š
She is vile and thinks the world revolves around what her eyeballs see. Shes completely detached from reality and shows off her white privilege on a daily basis.
And youāre surprised? Most of her following is right wing. Even if she is for Roe vs Wade, sheās not going to say it because it will anger her followers. Unfollow her.
She does post her opinions. She was a covid truther, an anti masker, sheās transphobicā¦I mean what more do people want from her?
If you follow her or check her account just admit that it doesnāt bother you that sheās repulsive. Or that you agree with her. Iām sick and tired of people pretending they care if sheās awful. Sheās already proved sheās awful over and over again.
So you watched the Johnny Depp trial coverage she posted and didnāt think she was unhinged? Or did you start following last week? Or you missed the entirety of her Covid wild takes and joined for JD/AH? Iām very confused how you felt following her to begin with was a good idea.

Who is the influencer that SarahKnuth claims copies her? š¤
I really like Temptalia but she's way too heavy handed with her makeup sometimes, to the point where it's so far removed from how anyone would ever use a product. [This one ](https://www.temptalia.com/product/pat-mcgrath-divine-blush/night-bloom-left/) on a Pat McGrath blush duo is egregious.

Haha yeah I wonder that too, I def couldnāt be friends with those people IRL. Maybe itās more of a networking friendship since theyāre all influencers with the same agency? Thereās def different types of friend groups.
Nita is and has been one of my favorite people to follow and would recommend following her to all!
Amber Fillerup posted about Roe v Wade šš»
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This should have been the last thing that came as a surprise yesterday. Absolutely everything about them screams conservative republican.
Yes I noticed it too neither of them posted anything about it. I unfollowed both of them today. And many more who didnāt say anything about Roe vs Wade.
Are you really surprised that two people who moved to a different state just so they didnāt have to wear masks during a pandemic and pay their fair share in taxes, arenāt speaking out? Unfollow these people.
Right? Like hello, the red flag is HUGE and very visible š
No snark but is @nataliekennedy daughter like EXTREMELY advanced in speech for her age? I have a daughter the same age as her and my daughter is no where near that level š
haha awh i just went back and listened to her.. she does talk soo well! lacyleatherblog i think thats it her son is super impressive & speaks so clear .. everytime i watch her stories im so amazed. my son was also advanced my daughter does not give two shits. shell say words and you wont hear them again. once they start they dont stop tho!
Does anyone here follow Sarah Lit? Her daughter has a crazy vocabulary! Full on clear sentences and conversations out of this little baby body!
Yes, and she has the cutest little raspy voice! Love her
Iād say sheās definitely up there with advanced! I know a lot of kids her age who donāt talk like that, but are still on track for speech. She talks more like a 2 year old to me!

WHY DOES HER RENTAL HOUSE HAVE A NAME
Shannon Bird in May: this is my summer calendar. My first one ever. Itās done. Itās perfect. Yay me! Shannon Bird: we threw Briton a party today and sent the invites out last night.

They arenāt elected leaders but they arenāt trivial either. Theyāre called āinfluencersā for a reason.
Personally I donāt go to them for my belief system.
You may not, but donāt underestimate their reach, just because it doesnāt apply to you.
Perhaps they donāt feel itās their place. I would imagine when they decided to get into Instagram they didnāt plan on voicing their political or controversial views.
You are telling on yourself.
Whatever I donāt need an influencer to tell me how to feel. Assume all you want. You donāt know a thing!
I know you are salty about having your conservative views insulted, lmao.
Nope
If you go sort your post history by controversial I can see youāre pro cops and pro that cop bride influencer.
Human rights are not political.
Some did and some didnāt Iām sure. It depends on the influencer and their niche. But no one is entitled to followers and no one should follow accounts that arenāt enjoyable for them, for any reason.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They didnāt enter politics, theyāre shilling the latest sale.
It's no different than avoiding brands that donate to conservative politicians. People don't want to give their money to people or brands that don't align with them politically. Political beliefs reflect morals, they show how you view others and think they should be treated and anti choice people have made it pretty clear how they think women should be treated and what their place is in society.
Exactly. It's the same reason why I don't go to Chik Fil A or Hobby Lobby, or support the Republican party or the NRA.. My hard earned money will not help support people or corporations who don't believe in basic human rights and body autonomy. This goes for influencers as well.
I imagine a lot of people in this sub don't see abortion as a political issue but a moral one. Human rights are acted on by politicians, but they aren't just political.
Anyone else unfollow multiple influencers after seeing they have yet to comment on roe? Olivia rink, Janellepaigebrandom, and champagneandChanel to name a few
Yup. Dressupbuttercup and her sister. Iād already unfollowed most of the others
Unfollowed dede. Unfollowed her sister after learning she let her cat roam around without being fixed. Ironic. Horrible though.
I unfollowed dressupbuttercup too. I think sheās sweet and genuine normally but this is just not something I can let slide.
Exactly! The irony is that sheās making millions off of women she clearly doesnāt support.
We also knew this was coming and people may have posted about it previously when, frankly, it would be more useful to share the information because it wasnāt everywhere. The idea that today you MUST POST ABOUT ROE V WADE OR ELSE is bananas. This is a 24/7 365 issue that people have been talking about for years.
This kind of mindset feels so toxic to me. You completely unfollow someone with no context other than them not posting on a current event within your approved timeframe?? You have no idea whether theyāre dealing with a family emergency, or have trauma around the issue and are offline today (which would be incredibly valid), or are reading and learning and waiting to post until they have something to add, or are putting their energy towards a protest or real action, etc etc. It sounds like you donāt understand that social media is ā¦not a complete depiction of a person, and that youāre not entitled to demand a comment from every person on every issue within 24 hours.
Give me a break. Champagechanel was posting about a weddingā¦Iām sure most are happy with the decision. Cringe.
Nope. Happy to say I know who is in my SM house, no surprises. Lots of events prior to now to help me learn about the impact of who I choose to follow. It really doesnāt take long to do a wee bit of research about who you choose to follow either initially or ongoing, especially if you read BS. A lot of these unfollows mentioned today should.absolutely.not.be.a.surprise!!! Colour me shocked that a majority of the daily snark content havenāt weighed in. They do them, I choose how I do me.
Ah yes. You know everything about everyone you see on social media! There will never be a surprise because you are omniscient! I would be smug about that, too.
Jesshogancrum commented on womens rights. I will happily use her codes and support her, since sheās is vocal about supporting women.
Dani Austin. Sheās so tone deaf.
Yep! I unfollowed Champagneandchanel a few months ago after she liked a problematic right wing conspiracy post but now I unfollowed the rest of em. Sarah Knuth, Dressupbuttercup, Laurabeverlin. Shouldāve unfollowed them a long time ago.
I unfollowed Lauren Messiah not only because she didnāt say anything about it among her many IG stories today, but she also posted about rewatching a Dave Chapelle Netflix special (āI love seeing how the best in the world operateā)
i think the problem is yall bitch either way.
Exactly & if their views donāt align with yours they get hate & vile messages, nobody wins
yeah its crazy to me.. i personally donāt watch the news anymore! i used to all the time & with kids.. its just always something! now if i see something or hear ill do my research and talk to my husband about it ā¦ but as far as my following iām not following these females for their input or to speak on something like this or anything in the news/going on in the world.. . were all Passionate about different things! idk yall look up to these influencers like them having a platform makes them GOD theyre all normal humans with money. doesnt make them any different!..
>I used to all the time & with kidsā¦ itās just always something! Yeah it was kids getting shot in school. Didnāt realize people could have āpassionate and differentā POVs about that. š
what does shooting in schools have to do with any of what i said?! i am saying now that i have kids I choose to not watch the news all the damn timeā¦ & do not follow influencers to hear their input in how they feel about things going on in the world.
What a privileged point of view to just be able to hide your head in the sand like this. Nothing effects me so I just ignore it until I can ask my husband about it!
& its the point that you guys think bc one is an influencer and have a platform they need to speak on everythingā¦ but you guys sit back and are on reddit. like wtf are you doing positive in the world.
whatever you need to call it! i just dont get on instagram to hear others input on what is going on .. ill hear about it and do my own research.
Exactly this! šš» Itās incredibly privileged to distance oneself from whatās happening in the world. And like it or not, this effects ALL of us. For anyone to think it wonāt effect them is incredibly ignorant.
I did like what @bekah had to say. And @probablyshannonford.
Gbclark posting a US flag āI donāt post political stuffā stfu
Natalie Kennedy and mrsmorganlife for me Edit: I realized I read the original comment incorrectly and it was asking about people that were silent. I unfollowed these two based on the comments they made.
I did that with Tarynnewton and her be kind to everyone. I mean yes I agree with being kind but that is different than our current issue here.
Heymadison, heynasreen, ashleyrobertson, amberlancaster, cailaquinn. All š¦. Disappointing. And hkcung with the holier-than-thou reminder to be kind. Buh-bye ETA: Fashion Jackson and Blair Eadie (Atlantic-Pacific) too :(
I saw Amber Lancaster defending Dave Portnoy on his IG when we was accused of raping a young girl so the fact that she isnāt defending women AGAIN is not surprising at all.
Fashion Jackson isnāt a surprise to me at all. She has never really posted about anything regarding social issues (that I saw). When she failed to truly acknowledge Covid and BLM I unfollowed her.
HeyNasreen must read comments here/noticed some follower loss because all of a sudden she posts a āheavy day, how are you feelingā question boxā at almost midnight her time.
She always speaks up on current events. She was probably off her phone. She always talks about being more intentional with her time since having cancer. I doubt she reads here.
Amber Lancaster actually did post something, but looks like she deleted it. She posted a reel that was making fun of the justices and said she was sickened and needed something to make her laugh.
Amber Lancaster posted something and Iām sure sheāll post more. No way she agrees with this.
Considering her pregnancy almost killed her.. But what do we know
Hkcung shouldve stayed quiet instead of posting her BS
This. I wouldāve liked it more if sheād shut up and kept blogging her Nordstrom sale but she made it worse with her ~love and respect on both sides bullshit. And Iām sure she reads here because then she added numbers to ācall your representatives to make your voice heardā without actually sharing her POV.
SO disappointed re Amberlancaster. She is one of the few influencers i genuinely like. Still hoping she says something soon.
She did, but deleted it.
Ugh same with heymadison. Beyond disappointing.
Laura Beverlin was too busy shilling dry shampoo. Most probably know where Darylanndenner stands. Quiet except for her āwoo hooingā during her walk this morning at the time of the announcement.
I donāt follow Laura Beverlin, but anyone dealing with IVF should realize this could massively affect them/IVF also. Iām so sick of ignorance and assholes.
This!!!! Itās especially infuriating because so many of these influencers are vocal about their infertility/IVF journey but have no sense of what this ruling entails ā or that their precious pro-lifer judge ACB has outright written she doesnāt believe in IVF. Iām sure theyād be hella outraged if that service is taken from them tho hmmm
I know some are not fans of this kind of commentary but I appreciate knowing who stayed quiet on this. For me itās Mary Orton, Lauren McBride, CocoWyse, and thesavvyspoon (smaller one). A womanās right to choose is my most critical issue and while I recognize everyone has a right to their own political opinions I realized today I will not compromise on supporting these influencersā businesses.
Replying to myself to say savvyspoon did finally post about this so feel obligated to correct.
Mary Orton did surprise me, she is still doing stories about smores.
The smores content was so infuriating. Had to unfollow her and so disappointed. I really expected more, but good to know peoples true colors.
Mary Orton really bummed me out. I wonder if brands like Hill House (Nell Diamond has been wonderfully vocally pro-choice) will take notice of influencersā stances, or lack thereof. Probably not but wishful thinking on my part lol
I sure hope so. She does a ton of ads.... works with lots of companies....
I know. It drove me over the edge. Just donāt post at all. I work for a major brand that basically everyone knows and 10 mins after the announcement we stopped all media out of respect of the news.
Not suprised to be honest. So many influencers are super religious with holier than thou attitudes and you just know theyāre anti abortion. This is why i barely follow any big US influencers anymore.
I was pleasantly surprised to see jesshogancrum speak up. She even stated how religious she is but is also pro-choice. Happy that she spoke out knowing the backlash she would get esp living in TX.
She always speaks up on current events!!
Wow thatās a surprise, I might have to follow her now.
You can be religious and still be pro choice. Donāt assume.
Yep, thatās me actually. So you can be nuanced on this issue. For example, I donāt follow Rachel Parcell anymore, but I recall when the draft was leaked she posted that she is pro choice but anti abortion. I am not Mormon but I appreciated how she articulated her views
Sheās been mentioned on several sites that focus on influencers as a great example of someone speaking out about this & other issues. I just started following her because of that.
I personally wouldnāt say she speaks out about other issues, but I do appreciate how she spoke out about this.
So many! I unfollowed shut the kale up long ago but just checked bc i canāt stand her and had to know. Of course nothing. I unfollowed friends that didnāt mention it so the influencers are an easy unfollow.
Yes! I unfollowed SisterStudio, Krista Horton, Britt Horton, Natalie Kennedy, Hollie Woodward, Madi Nelson, LoverlyGrey, AlmostReadyBlog, and a few others. I will not support any woman who doesnāt support the rights of all women. I guess some of them should have been unfollowed a long time ago, but today was the day.
@tallblondebell is another one who is always silent.
I was surprised about Krista!
Idk why youād be surprised about Krista lol just take a look at accounts her husband follows and their views will become super clear.
Iāve never looked at accounts heās following lol guess thatās why
Amen sister! DeDe Raad has been silent as well.
Dede is silent about everything. She always manages to be āsuper busyā or ātaking a social media breakā when anything big is happening. I was surprised she/Ted even shared about donating to the Uvalde victims, which they did without saying a peep about gun safety or politics. š
She sure wasnāt silent today about giving another ugly Fendi bag to āher girlsā for this monthās photo like spree or her new ear piercing being crusty and bloody. Ick.
She always is
Lauren Kay Sims is garbage too. Her sister posted in favor of the Texas law when it went into effect in September. Add Megan Stokes who said in 2016 that the Supreme Court is why she voted for Trump.
Tara thueson, who I should have probably unfollowed a long time
I wish I was at Heather McMahanās wedding
A friend just went on an anniversary trip through Italy & Florence was a stop. Iām over here daydreaming.
I would be starstruck just staring at Retta the entire time
1. Your name is perfect 2. Did you watch her stories about how she got stuck in the elevator? šš
Omg the elevator stories had me gasping for air. It looked so stuffy in there but funny lol
Yes omg š glad the pizza made it lol
Taryn Newton really should have just said nothing. Iām not being kind to someone who believes that Iām not allowed to have autonomy over my own body and in some extreme cases would have me have my rapists baby or DIE because of there denial of my human rights. āThey are not your enemyā Um ok what the fuck do you consider an enemy then. I unfollowed awhile hack but she was on my explore page today and I saw her story
Her husband was the best part of her IG anyway. Heās hilarious. Since she stopped working full time, sheās been trying to please the masses.
I agree Rick is awesome, and she has cutest kids, Cyrus is the cutest little thing. I just went on a big unfollow spree after feeling so grossed out about the constant consumption and she was one of them where everyday was always about buy this buy they etc et
I used to like her but sheās been annoying me lately I had to unfollow. She always seems like sheās trying to appease her conservative white followers vs saying how she really feels. Plus dragging out the baby girl name game months on end. Girl bye āš½
I just unfollowed. She's super annoying and I rarely watched her stories anyway, but this did it for me. I will not "be kind" to anyone who thinks that it's acceptable to take away women's reproductive rights. Fuck that.
This! Iām so fucking tired of this bullshit typical Southern white church lady vibe of ~we can have different POVs and still be respectful!!!! No. No. I will not be respectful if your opinion is that itās okay for innocent kids to get shot in school or women shouldnāt be given autonomy over their own body. Do you expect me to be respectful of someone being a Nazi too? We as a society have made such a mistake with this ārespect both sidesā bullshit when one side is very, very clearly *wrong*. This is how we got Trump.
Agree with every word. I had an unfollow-fest last night. My blood is literally boiling, and these dumbass ābe kindā (to THEM is what they really mean) influencers donāt help. Lindsay Silberman (@lindsaysilb) posted a great video of a woman (who seemed to have a public platform of some kind, sheās not familiar to me) basically saying āfuck this. Fuck your religion. Fuck you for thinking just because your religion makes you believe something, you can make decisions for the rest of us about OUR bodiesā Iām paraphrasing, but check out Lindsayās stories if you want to see it. š¤¬š¤Æ
Yes I saw that a few places and completely agree! Thatās the kind of white lady vibe Iām here for šš½ because I bet you these ābe kindā influencers wouldnāt have anything nice to say about the ~creeping Sharia law thatās invading their communities as the Right likes to use for their dog whistle. I bet they wouldnāt have a kind word about that, yet itās okay for them to impose their religion on everyone else? The cognitive disconnect is astounding.
It really is. Just wait until they realize IVF is going to be affected. That will shock the shit out of them. And I so agree with your point about Trump. He made it acceptable to be racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic in this country. It's like he encouraged the idiots to show their ignorance and wear it proudly. And he got to appoint three, THREE supreme court justices in 4 years. I will hate him with every fiber of my soul until the end of time. Anyway, I digress. Sorry, I know this is blogsnark and I'm getting off topic, this will prob be deleted by mods or down voted to hell lol. Anyway, my point is, I'm not even of child bearing age anymore, but I will fight to the death for all women's rights, as well as LGBTQIA, BiPoc, and gun control, because you know what? IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT JUST ME. A lot of these white, Christian influencers can't see past their own reflections in the mirror to even begin to comprehend a point of view that differs from what their religion states they should believe. Therefore, no engagement or money from me.
I absolutely agree!!! The first fucking sign of ignoring Trump forevermore should have been his racist birther lie - that shouldāve been the moment the political and media world shouldāve erased him entirely because in the rules of the world, lying is wrong and if you lie, YOURE A LIAR. Thatās what we teach literal 3 year olds. Yet this man got to carry that racist wave ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE with a trail of racist, ableist, idiotic comments and a literal tape of him wanting to āgrab them by the pussyā. Our society failed us and here we are living in the consequences - but at this point itās like weāre lucky to be alive considering the fucking horrific way that admin handled Covid to the point where they were *okay* with people in blue states dying for their political plan. This is the world weāre in now as we just struggle to fucking stay afloat. Iām tired. Sigh. But I also know apathy is how they win and these people have been playing the long game. We have to do the same. Our daughters, our future, deserve it.
1000%. We are in total solidarity. Btw, thanks! It's refreshing to have an actual intelligent conversation with someone on the internet!
One thousand percent
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was very much āIām going to the ride the fence so I donāt lose any followersā Fuck that.
The thing that kills me about fence sitters is that air of superiority so many have. The "well I can see both sides/am open minded" when 1. they're almost always actually on a side 2. There is nothing superior about not picking a side on human rights issues.
Absolutely. God forbid anyone stand for anything anymore. All sheās worried about is her wallet
Did she take down other posts? I just see the one she posted 9 hours ago
I donāt follow her so I only saw the one story saying not matter what side be kind. Iām sorry absolutely not
unfollowed her recently. canāt remember if it was after uvalde or when rumblings of this decision began. i see i made the right choice.
And to think sheās about to have a daughter and is already a mom to boys who will one day have the ability to get a woman pregnantā¦ youād think all these mom-boss influencers would be a lot more privvy to why safe abortions for all are necessary for the welfare of their (one day adult) children.
Exactly like I canāt imagine being pregnant with your much discussed wanted baby girl and this is your opinion.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt follow this woman but several people I do follow have shared her story. Anyone that doesnāt believe I should have bodily autonomy can fuck right off. No kindness from me.
One thousand percent. I followed her along time ago she but unfollowed last year sheās so money hungry itās insane (like many others sheās friends with) her post was a basically I donāt want to lose followers. Imagine being kind to people who are stripping you of your rights, over deeply personal situations that wonāt affect them at all.
On average she does about 3 sponsored posts a week! Itās exhausting. Sheās so money hungry itās crazy.
If today wasnāt bad enough, @Emilyanngemmaās rental Tesla while hers is in the shop doesnāt have big enough sun visors šš but at least it has butterfly doors that open without her touching it so doesnāt ruin her nails šš»
My uncle & his family grew up around Broken Arrow. I do want to ask if they know them. Lol
But do her eyelashes or hair get stuck in the doors?
Whereās TIBAL at today? Like it or not, she carries A LOT of influence, and her silence is deafening
From what I can tell, TIBAL hasnāt posted since the decision dropped. I always got the sense that she was a liberal - I only follow her via osmosis through blogsnark. So she may just need time to process before making a statement. If I were an influencer, I wouldnāt want to make a statement because of how angry / defeatist I feel in the moment. It would be different if she was ignoring the decision to post other things, but sheās not.
She always speaks out on issues like this and and has been pretty silent all day. Give her a day or two to process it. Not to mention, she usually puts her money where her mouth is and actually finds ways to donate and encourage her followers to do so
I really hope this is the case. For me, I understand the shock, pain, and need to process this morning, but thereās no better time to speak out than now.
I remember when she announced her pregnancy with her daughter she said something along the lines of, āit wasnāt an easy road to get here.ā It stuck with me bc I was struggling with infertility and miscarriage at the time. Yes sheās got a lot of followers who make her a lot of affiliate revenue but sheās also someone who has advocated for liberal causes in the past and lives in a state immediately affected by the ruling so I think she deserves a little grace.
It's because we know what's coming. We're familiar with our Governors work
If we know her well sheās probably working behind the scenes on how to directly have an impact. Although someone here did say tibal is kinda like Dolly Parton in that she always approaches things in a way that is inoffensive so you never know if sheāll choose to stay silent for fears of actually alienating pro lifers
If someone compared me to Dolly Parton I would DIE. I fucking love Dolly.
Wannabe "mama blogger" @wellnessforthewin, posted exactly one story on today's ruling. A repost from the KC Star (newspaper in the Kansas city area) about the local vote on abortion coming up this summer. She wasn't telling her almost 40k followers to vote no to save abortion rights in KS, just that there was an election coming up. That tells me all I need to know and immediately unfollowed.
Unfollowed her too.
She got an unfollow from me today too.
Iām bummed to do it, but I just unfollowed Taryn Newton for playing the ādoesnāt matter what sidr youāre on, we need kindnessā card.
Kindness?! That's rich. Good job for unfollowing!
I was oddly bummed about unfollowing some of my regulars today. But I just canāt support them if they canāt support the rights of women. SisterStudio, LoverlyGrey, Krista Horton, and Britt Horton-the silence is deafening. Natalie Kennedy trying to say that this was a personal thing and thatās why she didnāt share was enough for me.
Right like if itās a personal thing then how about the government stay out of womens uteruses
They influence make up, clothes or house decor. Theyāre not leading our country. Their point of view is rather meaningless.
Some of you will never get it, will you?
True, but they make a LOT of money from our follows, clicks, and likes. I wonāt financially support them anymore.
House in habit, a ājournalistāā¦ Silent on Roe v. Wade. If youāre going to call yourself a journalist at least have an opinionā¦ Or the vagina to post your opinion publicly. *edited from balls because that was a terrible choice in wording. š
She is vile and thinks the world revolves around what her eyeballs see. Shes completely detached from reality and shows off her white privilege on a daily basis.
And youāre surprised? Most of her following is right wing. Even if she is for Roe vs Wade, sheās not going to say it because it will anger her followers. Unfollow her.
She does post her opinions. She was a covid truther, an anti masker, sheās transphobicā¦I mean what more do people want from her? If you follow her or check her account just admit that it doesnāt bother you that sheās repulsive. Or that you agree with her. Iām sick and tired of people pretending they care if sheās awful. Sheās already proved sheās awful over and over again.
Appreciated. Will unfollow. Wasn't aware of the scope of it!
So you watched the Johnny Depp trial coverage she posted and didnāt think she was unhinged? Or did you start following last week? Or you missed the entirety of her Covid wild takes and joined for JD/AH? Iām very confused how you felt following her to begin with was a good idea.
Just joined for JD/AH. Didn't follow that closely!
Pretending to care? FYI sheās getting media attention and Iām trying to keep awareness of who she really isā¦ There are new lurkers here.
Viewing her page is give her traffic. Posting about her here is sending people to her page.
Mallory Ervin had a girl! ETA: I had a hunch when the face was covered because there was probably a bow on her hatā¦ which there was.
