You can tuck on that yum. Go read about Tim’s and their backtracking on their egg sourcing (they had originally agreed to ensure eggs were ethically sourced- places like A&W use ethical eggs, but they renamed in the deal again and again, despite them being able to afford the ethical eggs- again this is very very summarized).
They are not an ethical company at all. Plus they are under Burger King parent company which contribute to genocide. Big yuck. Yuck all over that yum. 👏
To be frank, if she spent more time focused on :
- Worrying about the bodies and mental health of women in Sudan, Ukraine, DRC and Palestine ,
- The body autonomy of women and trans kids being threatened around the world,
- Stopping partnerships with problematic brands that are anti body autonomy and misogynistic
- Recognizing her extreme privilege to have tattooed eyebrows, fake long blonde hair and procedures as upkeep (on top of two homes, $$$, white privilege) ,
Then maybe she’d stop caring about her vessel! Almost ALL of my friends bodies (who have had kids or not) look exactly like this at 40+. We are NOT out here focusing on our bodies, but we are actively calling out people like her who give us 40+ crowd a bad rep of being vapid consumers stuck in egotistical high school mentality. Also, my friends who work out, compete and train for things have super kickass physical bodies but they are OLDER! Nobody looks the same as they age. And maybe I just have a better family or friends who don’t talk about our bodies, and she’s stuck with an unsupportive spouse, family and friends who let her make this her “thing” but they really do need to tell her she’s fine, it’s a body, it’s nothing worth singling out, and that she could be more and know her worth without a focus on her vessel.
White cisgender rich woman who : -exploits her kids -doesn’t speak up for LGBTQIA2S -doesn’t speak out against genocide
- plagiarized blogs of BIPOC women (and profited) and tried passing it off as her own and when caught blamed her “editor -threatened a journalist who called her out on her behaviour
- Thinks “consent is annoying”
- supports brands that contribute to genocide
- made her original $ from losing extreme weight, then shifted to grifting
- discloses location of her minor children daily, but won’t speak on causes for fear of being doxxed
- brags about trips, renovations
I don’t think any of the friends of TBP are on here, but commenting would mean they read and look at feedback, and possibly want to snark). If if they are here: Free Palestine! Land back! Learn about Sudan and DRC! Boycott Coke! Boycott Tim’s & McD’s! Speak up about consent! Call your friends out if they think consent is annoying! Call your friends out on plagiarizing! If your accounts are public, make them safe spaces! Tell your friends it’s unsafe to post their kids’ whereabouts all the time!
But if they aren’t here, Bri has done a lot of work that is a copycat (like the bubble gum thing). I’m in the field and am paid well for what I do , and I’ve not lost out on business from Bri doing what she does, so her getting jobs doesn’t affect me. I’ve also done a lot of free projects, and I never post or allow photos or articles about pieces if it’s a nod to another piece (for a private commission) and I must disclose original artists for any variations I’ve done on different artwork.
I think some of her work does have merit, but it’s just so weird and outdated to see pretty, white, thin, cisgender women (or white presenting, because I don’t know Bri’s background) constantly “hired” for things, and the same friend group showing up to each event.
I’m sure Bri is a pleasant human with a passion for art, and that’s so cool! Art is awesome. Nobody needs perfection in all pieces, but sometimes suggesting craftspeople who are more capable is a way to uplift fellow artists and ensure the piece is done properly. And then, if there were a job that were more suited to her abilities than they would in turn, do the same for her. If I’m asked to do something I haven’t perfected I’ll bring a friend or fellow artist on and work with them, or pass along an artist’s name and simply say “I know someone who is more suited to this project”
That Dana person and Mik person do that too. Like, we know about sitting and standing and how it affects clothes. It’s boring. A great influencer called her out on this crap years ago she’s an Italian plus sized woman but I don’t follow any influencers so I forget her name.
Even gymnasts when they tilt their waist they get a crease. When I was 100LBS I had a roll when I sat. It’s skin. It’s genetics. It’s called “bodies are not marble statues”. We should celebrate what our bodies do for us (run races, fight cancer, protest, volunteer, carry our kids, care for sick loved ones, survive trauma) but holy crap can we stop with the whole “I’m a regular store size I have rolls”. Almost everyone her age does (I do), and it’s okay but it’s also very unimportant. I’ve never looked at my partner coworkers, clients or friends and thought “ew those jeans look awful when they sit” but I have felt pain from wearing jeans like hers and life’s too short to buy shitty clothes made in a sweatshop in too small of a size.
Stop buying fast fashion Sarah, and stop pushing affiliate codes on people to buy high rise “strigid” bullshit jeans that LOOK like they hurt! Even in person she’s not plus sized, and she can definitely buy bigger stuff or stuff that doesn’t squeeze, pinch or hurt her body. I wear yoga pants or leggings and comfy dresses, and if something doesn’t fit I get it tailored, take it in myself or give it to a friend. But when people say size up and she says the waist gaps, then WHY IS SHE PUSHING CODES FOR “amazing” JEANS THAT ARE BAD JEANS ALL THE TIME?
This is why I joined this- She was not speaking up for women’s reproductive care, she wasn’t speaking up for trans kids, she wasn’t speaking up for Palestinian kids being wiped off the face of the Earth. She also post her minor children without consent, at least informed consent. It’s just funny how many people stay in her circle because they know they could benefit from her financially. I would never wanna be associated with someone who benefited me financially, yet did nothing to actually make use of a platform. All her friends are just gonna keep quitting. They’re meaningful jobs that actually make a difference in the world to push shitty high waste products. She’ll just keep traveling and increasing her carbon footprint. Honestly, my kid who is like 30 years her Junior has done more to make positive impact. We don’t need another white bleach, blonde, heavily, edited, wealthy woman, influence of anybody.
She copies almost all the art she does. I’m in the “art” field and I’ve seen so many of her things that she’s done months if not years before she does them. And while there’s nothing wrong with doing things we see online (hello, inspo) , it’s very disturbing to be getting all this attention when a quick internet search reveals most stuff has been done before. A few artists I follow did a Polly pocket build months ago and even recorded the process on YT. Moonlight Jewel (YT) aka moonlight_jewel_dolls (IG) and rainstorm.creations (IG) did an awesome Polly Pocket which was all posted in April. And they weren’t even the firsts!
Now the child doesn’t mean any malice from this, but S posting this is a type of video that should be reported. Accidentally capturing a “my child is being silly” moment is one thing but you delete it and give the lesson about CONSENT. But S thinks it’s something that she should be posting it publicly? With her minor child? Please tell me this was reported. If not and anyone follows her still, REPORT this. This is a red flag for abuse. This is the kind of stuff I wouldn’t even go to instanavigation to see. Does she know this is innapropriate? Having film of a minor doing shit like this is NOT okay.
