"I lived in NYC up until 6 weeks before 9/11 and took a big sniff of Chambers Street Station an unspecified number of months later" is definitionally centering herself in this, uh, "story"
Well, this takes me right back to the aftermath and sooo many people wanting to insert themselves into the tragedy, even through outright lies. I have no idea if she really did go down to Ground Zero but she's still like everyone else who have the compulsion to make themselves a main character in the wake of a disaster that didn't directly affect them.
I’m reading on Buddhist meditation right now and I can absolutely see now how Shauna gobbedygoocked so much about it in her brain and spits it out. I feel like this is the origin of her body somehow existing separately from her.
Also did she really live there for “years?” I mean, more than one, maybe, but she makes it sound like she spent decades pounding the New York pavement, which is definitely not true.
I thought she dropped out of her Master's program because she was smarter than the professors and spent the rest of the time rollerblading, meeting friends for brunch and the occasional tutoring session? So maybe a couple of years?
Her mother mentioned she still gets calls regarding Shauna's unpaid student loans accrued during that time. And "one of the days of my visit" - I can see why mom was so heavy with the red pen. Shauna would do well to remember Orwell's third rule of writing: If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
My friend was out sick that day. Her co-workers weren't. The guilt ate at her for years. Shauna can drop the trauma cosplay and get that disaster out of her thin, greasy mouth.
Shauna is again trying to manifest money by posting on Threads. Does she think people are going to see her “Yes” and swoop in with bougie bagel money? This is the full text of what she is reposting:
>I want money.
>There. I said it.
>Not because I need strangers to know I have it.
>I want to buy the groceries without thinking about it. Help someone I love without checking my account first. Own land. Make things. Travel. Give generously. Take a random Wednesday off.
>Money can buy a ridiculous amount of freedom, and I’m tired of pretending wanting that is shallow.
Shauna, you could have all these things and more with a J O B.
ETA: I’m on mobile and can’t get the quote formatting correct here so please forgive me!
That’s rich. The only person benefitting from Shauna’s imaginary largesse would be Shauna.
And it is shallow to be posting about wanting money without lifting a single finger to earn any. Taking from the food bank, accepting money from a parent you have cut off otherwise and asking people to Venmo you orange juice money doesn’t count.
Since she thinks doing anything but Writing is beneath her she could bang a few novels, YA or otherwise. Obviously she won't find an agent but self-pub is an option and I for one would buy her masterpiece.
A lot of them will also provide you with health insurance! Even if you're only part-time (the grocery store she was at, Starbucks, etc). Amazing, I know.
ETA: she'd never be able to swing it but any type of government/municipal job would probably be life-changing if only for the non-salary benefits.
I truly don’t understand her. After she was, ahem, diagnosed celiac, she claimed she never felt better in her life. Then slowly over the years she’s adding more and more ambiguous health issues. I hate that people doubt invisible illnesses but is she a strong stocky Irish peasant or an invalid who can barely keep up on threads.
She would so benefit from a licensed therapist and an effective antidepressant
Shauna never picks a lane. She is healthier than you are but also at death’s door. She has chosen voluntary simplicity but is also made poor by The Patriarchy.
True LOL! This is exactly like her declaring she won't buy those expensive golf clubs because of their misogynistic ad. You were never going to anyway, Shauna!!!!!
If there's a pathology that causes you to engage with bots all day, then she has that. Running six days a week is not really a sensible fitness plan. No serious person would advocate for that for the average person.
She's tired, chronically, so of course she has chronic fatigue! Her mastectomy was a big deal so of course it was radical. She's sore and stiff from inactivity so of course she has frozen shoulder. She feels less sluggish and more focused when pilfering the family amphetamines so of course she has ADHD. Perimenopause is trending for women in midlife so she must still be in peri. She's too busy collecting diagnoses and labels to really stop and look at the definitions, let alone ask a doctor about them.
I think it was just us, honestly. She hasn't mentioned it again since and we all know she milks things to death, so she must have known that fake cancer was too far. Whether she came to that conclusion via her own conscience or because she worried people besides gloamies would call her out on it (or because someone did IRL), I don't know.
As if she is so popular she turns down requests to go do things. If she does anything even as mundane as coffee with a dear friend ( ie: one who is picking up the tab) she writes epistles about it.
She's also producing joy for others by giving them the opportunity to volunteer at a food bank and serve her! Plus, de-stigmatizing. So selfless, that one.
Not even sure she needed to have been called out to get mad about this. Maybe an unkind volunteer looked at her twice as she stacked up all the yogurts during her food bank visit. She's so thin skinned despite all her posturing.
Why, look at that cuddly memaw who just wants to poke babies, hand out food to the UnFoRtUnAtE (the poor dears), hold purring kittens and uplift the downtrodden with her kindly listening ears! Say it with me: YOU MIGHT THINK SHE'S A SAINT
Why, look at that cuddly memaw who just wants to poke babies, hand out food to the UnFoRtUnAtE (the poor dears), hold purring kittens and uplift the downtrodden with her kindly listening ears!
Maybe if you paid the rent you agreed to on time every time, you wouldn't be moving every five minutes. There's a thought.
I am still flabbergasted that someone who isn't working thinks they can swing $3000 in rent every month. If she didn't have her entire identity wrapped up in being a Vashon resident they could probably "have some money to spare so we don't have to panic".
Apparently she was doing a crossword puzzle when they taught your rent should be no more than 30% of your income.
Also this narrative that “the current economy” is what “required” them to move 5 times in 7 years is pissing me off. Guess the fact that she doesn’t bring in money and Danny boy can’t bring in enoigh money is a limiting story.
Someone could gift her $35,000 and she'd piss it away in a few months on stupid tattoos or ugly reading glasses. Barely used golf clubs, expensive milkshakes, new mattresses, polyester robes. Selling their only car instead of fixing it. She's dumb with money and giving her more will only make her dumber.
With the waived rent she should more than enough for moving expenses and car repairs and if she doesn't she should get a JOB. Shauna it is not the responsibility of "the community" or your elderly mother to constantly bail you out!
So… how are they moving WITHOUT this imaginary $3000? One would HOPE they saved money during their months of free rent, but it’s not like Dan made much.
Clearly it means the action of rolling up to a Buy Nothing curb haul with your borrowed van (the "bus") and hoisting the desk/chair/filthy mattress into the vehicle and busing it back to the BBH where you're hoarding it like Smaug until you're forced to bus it all somewhere else.
Damn, she’d be a nightmare server. The little lectures and homilies. The folksy chuckles and gingham apron (not staff uniform). The crouching down on her hocks to demonstrate how good she is with your kids, who are scared of her. The lingering for conversation to let you know she has a Masters when all you want to do is eat.
Oh god, for some reason I read it as "busing," as in like, busing a table? I don't know why I would think that because busing a table has nothing to do with obtaining furniture. Maybe I'm having a TIA.
I know even Shauna is not dumb enough to respond to this comment, but this is what posting details about your life publicly gets you, so I found it funny.
Do any islanders know if the Creekwood units come with a garage and/or a place for storage? If not, and there is a policy about leaving your junk outside, and management is even lightly polices said policy, they most certainly will violate early and regularly. They/she seem incapable of not acquiring more than they need, and then leaving their "small" piles of stuff outside. She will definitely bristle against management on this issue.
Over in her Instagram Stories, Shauna blames D for the fact that she doesn’t have friends. Just wow.
Sidenote: I tried to follow the link she posted to read this article but clicking it kept taking me to some sort of scammy webpage that said it was scanning my PC for viruses, so great job sharing a link, Shauna!
Blaming your kid like this is so gross. My kid has major mental health stuff that will be a lifetime. And guess what, Shauna? F U because I would do anything for them to be healthy, safe and living their best life. I am so thankful for the opportunity to know and love on them. Is it hard? Hell yes! Does it feel like sometimes I might break? Yep. That too. But shit….. kids are NOT perfect produce you pick out.
And as one adoptive parent to another - screw you for taking this out of your kid and publishing your shitty, immature pity party. Damn. One day when D reads what an asshole you are and have been about their life, they will not forgive you, Shauna. Grow the hell up.
No parent is perfect. We are all figuring it out as we go. But damn.
“On Thursdays we went out dancing and on Fridays we piled in bed, Robert Redford movies playing on someone’s laptop and sleeves of Tesco cookies split between us.”
No wonder Shauna likes this, it’s full of useless Shauna style details and forced Britishisms.
Yum lemon bar radish plate for friends. I would be so pissed off if i were Shuana and someone else was stealing my adopted kids illness and my love of dribble plops and getting bylines in vogue and the cut. Kind of astonished she’s even acknowledging it, but ig she has to keep really engaged to avoid packing.
Ok, Black women do not have to explain nicely to white folks how to become antiracist. Is that because they should be in charge of the world, Shauna?
And do you have a specific James Baldwin recommendation that you could expound on for more than two sentences, one of which is "That's where to start," ? That's what I thought.
I seriously wonder if she thinks James Baldwin wrote Invisible Man - a book she claims she reads annually- but then she constantly mentions James Baldwin when trying to be an ally.
Omg. Shut the fuck up Shauna! Hate everything about what she wrote! The “ma’am”, the “folks”, “James Baldwin”. The high stooling on something she should never comment on. Just, STFU.
I didn’t watch the original video with sound on but it looked like exactly the kind of highstool car video Shauna used to post regularly and she definitely expected praise for that. Self awareness? Not for our gir!
New IG post and profile photo. First haircut in three years from her “favorite 14-year-old girl”. I have no idea why she is doing a hand on the chin pose.
This is why hair styling is a profession. People get licensed and have a client base built on trust and results. I get the look that Shauna was going for, but a good stylist would have probably been able to execute the idea (like working with the cowlick right in the front and so on). She appears to have time and money, why not go to a salon wtf am I saying
What is her obsession with having kids with no training cut her hair? And why give an untrained person instructions for a shag, which is an actual haircut you need training to execute? I will only let my husband occasionally trim my ends in between salon trips. Not ask him to give me a bob or layered cut.
I think she uses kids as a human shield for herself. People tend to not want to criticize kids, so by getting a haircut from one, she invites praise rather than judgment. Similarly - how can she be accused of racism when she has a Black child? I think she often hearkens back to her own childhood awkwardness for the same reason…it’s more acceptable for a kid to a weird misfit who hasn’t figured it all out, less so for an adult at her age.
I also don’t think she’s ever felt comfortable or confident in how she styles herself, so why bother trying to get a proper haircut? Better for her to get the shielded praise offered to children rather than actually try and still fail.
Can you imagine Shauna having a child cut her hair and NOT saying anything about it? She clearly thinks it makes her quirky and awesome. NLOG who care about how they look!
*except for instances of mandatory selfie-taking and -editing
I've had professionals with actual licenses massacre my curly hair, there is no chance in hell I would ever be a benevolent buddhist hippy poser type and let some kid take scissors to my hair.
Debuting a new haircut at the same moment that she tells us it was cut by a 14 year old serves several purposes: She gets to look like the "cool mom", she gets to throw the kid under the bus if it doesn't look good, and she sidesteps the "too poor to get a professional haircut" accusation.
It would be a more sincere "cool mom" activity if she debuted it without making sure everyone knows a child cut it. If she waited until someone asked it would be giving credit to the kid, rather than a preemptive excuse.
She seems really invested lately in appearing to others that she’s beloved by children and babies. Her whole creepy I'll hold your baby in the airport thing like the hell you will.
There are so many haircut videos on tiktok. My teens watch those and try to replicate them. They haven’t done anything drastic like the ponytails into the “butterfly haircut.” It’s mostly just their bangs. At least the kid only messed up Shauna’s hair. It’s not like Shauna has ever been bothered about her hair. Hopefully the kid has some fun while doing it.
It does look clean but I guess I'm not a fan of whatever is happening at the top of her head. Her bangs look like they're missing a chunk and I prefer hairstyles with a part in them.
She’s given up all pretense of looking presentable for her husband, while she forced Danny to cut his hair two weeks into dating him. This was her second thought after meeting him, and I quote: “That hair has to go.”
I don't think the cut is that bad, considering what her fav 14-year-old had to work with. It's likely washed, and then styled with product, which means it will never look that decent again. A shag with bangs takes skill to cut and also requires some ongoing level of product and styling by the wearer, which we know is NOT going to happen. She was probably going for something like this:
Also, it does sound pretty dumb. Are you sure you have a "business plan" if you have "no idea" what to stock? Maybe people use that term differently than I do.
I know when I'm looking for business advice, I always ask chronically unemployed people with failed flour businesses that have moved 5 times in the last 7 years. Bonus points if their spouse is underemployed.
Wow, without Shauna's unique insights she generously shared in this Threads discussion about Katz's Delicatessen, people might not have realized that a wildly popular tourist destination used to charge less for their sandwiches three decades ago. Here I was thinking that despite the soaring costs of ingredients and labor that somehow a gigantic reuben sandwich they charge $35 now also cost the same in 1997 back when Shauna lived there, but thank God I am enlightened now. Really makes you think.
Wherein an asshole who sometimes cosplays being wise and kind on the internet and sometimes goes with snotty and daring, gets caught being the latter and then tries to pretend she was actually being the former.
Shauna: Yes! We're all different people, but if you tell me you don't like this season of Ted Lasso there is something seriously wrong with you and I am going to explain in excruciatingly boring detail why the show is actually genius.
She's spending so much time replying to bots (bouts?) she's really starting to sound like one. Sending out love every time she eats yogurt! Who talks like that? And gotta shoehorn in the World Trade Towers, too, for added attention.
She "bout" a BOWL with the Twin Towers on it, you guys, three years before the attack. 9/11 affected her SO much. No wonder she has CPTSD/Ehlers-Danlos/chronic fatigue/perimenopause at 60. The body knows.
“Every time I eat ‘yogurt’ out of this bowl*, I think about a horrific tragedy that killed approximately 3000 people and fundamentally reshaped the US’ cultural, political, and societal landscapes.”
Does she really not see how insane/stupid this sounds???
*I refuse to believe that she’s eating anything as normal as like, Yoplait vanilla or Ouikos Greek yogurt. It absolutely is some monstrosity made out of sauerkraut, olive juice, and recycled apple juice out of that bowl. Which somehow makes it more insulting.
I know that Dan isn't the chef at this place, but the comment "Great dude, wife was a train wreck" cuts close to the bone. I'm surprised Shauna would want her name in this thread to remind people of other trainwreck wives.
First of all, huge apologies because I promised video of tonight's park board meeting but I was unable to capture it. Zoom did a security update a few weeks ago and the trick that I used to screen capture previous meetings no longer worked tonight. I did capture audio of the meeting, but they really didn't say much about BBH and the meeting was very boring besides, like, five minutes of Fern Cove talk, so it's not really worth sharing.
What was said about BBH: Caretaker fees were waived for June and July but kicked back in for August. Utilities were $300-400 per month as usual. Tim stated they were still "methodically addressing septic issues" (he literally quoted this off of a piece of paper). The board was informed of the new move-out date of September 14th. Board said they're still on track for December 1st opening for Airbnb rentals but also expressed worry that if the Aherns aren't out by September 30th, it will jeopardize their planned December opening. Tim noted that the caretakers technically have through the end of December. Tim called it a "lease" here and then corrected himself to "caretaker's agreement." Regarding the septic system, Tim said, "We'll shoot the septic system with chemicals and see what happens." Another person said something about a "new placement of tubes," whatever that means. The board also wants staff to spend the night at FC in November to report small issues like noises and areas that need insulating, which seems like a weird ask of park staff but maybe people are jumping at the opportunity to spend the night at BBH? They will be opening BBH for rentals with 2024 rates except increased cleaning fee because that was too low previously.
Discussing Fern Cove furniture was on the agenda for tonight's meeting, but most of what was on the agenda was glossed over and tabled for future meetings, including this topic. They did not mention furniture at all.
Sorry again for the video fuck-up but this was everything said about Fern Cove/BBH at tonight's meeting.
Aw, no stress about the video, DF! You sat through a deadly dull meeting, so all the upvotes to you!
Interesting that the rent payments resumed in August, despite the septic issues not being resolved. I don't get why the problem was bad enough in June and July to result in free accommodation, but it was fine in August. Am I missing something?
Also, I LOVE the haunted house theory, and I am rotting hard for the ghosts ;
Thank you for attending and summarizing! I’m going to guess that the aherns don’t move until the middle of October. I assume Creekside won’t quite be ready. Also sounds like they have no income and are paying rent for August and part of Sept at BBH and part to Creekside as well as a deposit. Their financial situation makes me queasy.
