“I’ve come to find a certain likability politics at play, i.e., if someone can beautifully articulate their love of a thing, if their values align with ours (socially, politically, aesthetically, etc.), their displays of overconsumption are interesting, comforting to watch, a hobby, a passion, even charming. But everyone else? Mindless trendoids brainwashed by TikTok.” ok so i won’t be thinking about anything else other than this today
When I was that pregnant I used to look at dogs and cats and be like... why is your waist so small? All my friends looked emaciated. Also the privileged undercurrents of consumption observation is like... 🤯 If you're fancy, you can make buying into an art, whereas everybody else is just gross and greedy. Ahhh the pain and pleasure hiding beneath the discourse.
Buying as an art…… YES. And I follow plenty of people who are masters of that and I love their content. So I’m just as guilty for enabling that sort of divide 🫣
I cannot wait for your full post on how other people navigate consumption. When my grandmother had her QVC addiction and kept getting different jewelry pieces that seemingly were the exact same thing, I considered her fab. Like maybe every diva does need a bin of gold and silver earring options. But when i see people with their Treehut sugar scrub collections or skims long sleeve dupes i cringe and label them the problem with this world. Am I the problem cause I’m a hater? Is overconsumption only okay when the items are cool or niche?
Also I hadn’t checked out Cigarettes After Sex until this year because my 14 year old sister begged to go to their concert for her birthday, and I could only describe it as odd and dreamy, the entire concert I was in deep thought about random things going on in my life. Idk what frequency they’re tapped into but woah?
are you living in my brain cuz I feel like I’ve had the exact same thoughts and experiences lmao. Like when I wrote that, I was clocking myself as much as anyone else. always cringing over dupe culture, but when someone has 100 designer handbags and a wall of fragrances? Goals! So strange.
And Cigarette After Sex really does unlock something potent and inexplicable in the soul...
I hope the comment section of that post becomes an open forum for everyone to admit to what they oddly over consume. My mom opened my eyes to the fact that I’ve been collecting funky coats over the past year…I genuinely had no clue.
My husband and I saw Cigarettes After Sex at Brooklyn Steel whenever I was in my third trimester at the beginning of 2020(?). During the concert, I legit felt like I was about to pass out and asked the security guard if I could sit in the totally empty VIP section, explaining the sitch, and they let us both sit! We had an unobstructed view, and I was brought bottled water. It was amazing, and I think my rowdy girl really enjoyed the concert because she was straight chillin'. We play the album sometimes now and I swear she recognizes it. You look beautiful, babe! Soak up all the hermit luxuries! I did the same whenever I was preggo with my first. 😊 😘
I also saw Karen O & Danger Mouse, Sharon Van Etten, and Sylvan Esso during pregnancy and a few Broadway musicals. I was definitely trying to squeeze in as many shows as I could before baby life 😂 During pregnancy, I think it's so important to honor and enjoy the life you've had, who you are as a human being, before entering motherhood. Of course, you will always have those pieces of yourself after giving birth, but you also grow in ways that you just can't predict or imagine. 💗
Did I tell you that in the last few weeks of my first pregnancy, I used to push D’s foot down because it was pressing so hard on my ribs I couldn’t breathe, and then M (my husband) would be like ‘don’t push the baby’ and I would turn into a pregnant rage monster and be like ‘DON’T TELL ME NOT TO PUSH THE BABY THE BABY IS HUGE BECAUSE YOU’RE HUGE’
LMFAOOOO WE GOTTA LET THESE MEN KNOW SOMETIMES!!! And so funny Andrew is like 6’3 and I’m 5’4 so legit same boat 😂 baby is allegedly small but w my short torso, she feels like a damn toddler

You should do a post on your coat collection. I would totally eat that up
