A while ago, on Threads, I found SNL offering advice on how to deal with gifted items. She seems to believe if she mentions them in her stories she doesn’t need to disclose to the CRA. I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works.

    Thank you but it’s what everyone should be doing. I don’t think these influencers realize that people are screenshoting and screen video recording a lot of their pages daily as receipts for their lack of support for basic human rights (it’s how a lot of us know the exact date when all of their links went up for Gaza).

    I mean she’s had a bestie who used to travel and work in places like Kenya. I would think she could at least talk about Doctors without Borders, at least! There is a group of us who all know each other, IRL, who have been calling out influencers on other platforms, and it seems that even the people adjacent to these influencers who HAD been posting about these things (and sharing stories) will come to their defense, and block people who call out influencers. Honestly, I am of the frame of mind that we can go into any Snark community and find like-minded individuals who are going to call people out for things that actually really matter like ripping people off, being deceitful, and not giving a shit about humanity. The only one I really care about to be honest, is the not giving a shit about humanity, because I refuse to give influencers any money. When my family is grown, I know they will look back and be proud of their parents for what they have done. If I have grandchildren in the future, I know they will be proud of our family using their voice consistently. It’s been interesting to watch people adjacent to her decline in their stance on important world issues too. I truly do hope that she does see these things. I don’t call people out for their bodies or what they look like. I do advocate, fundraise and protest.

    TBP if you are reading these: please please please acknowledge the genocide in Palestine. Please stop going to these stupid Apple events every year because require mining which uses slave labor in Congo. And TBP if you are reading this, There is honestly still hope for a lot of people who have been losing faith in your “authenticity” but it requires an immediate shift to help others with your platform. You do have the power (people do seem to think the most important thing about you is your looks, so embrace that! Your followers flock to you- say something powerful).

      One of the other Guelph shiners husband is a doctor so talking about Doctors Without Borders is the very least she could do. Your family will be proud when they realize you use your voice and don’t just sit idly by
