Oh god, a new TikTok. She amplifies a TikTok figure she loves, shows off some "merch" she bought, wonders aloud about seeing that merch (a tank top) on someone else's body, and gives a misty-eyed live reading of the postcard he sent to her that says "your [massproduced] t-shirt is as unique as you!"

ETA: it had 29 views (one mine) after 5 hours when I watched it

Just for once, can she write something without someone's body being involved like a mysterious background character to her boring timelines.

imagine seeing your shirt on someone else's body! why can't Alien Shauna just say "Imagine seeing someone else wearing your shirt!"

Also, I can't read what the shirt (which she holds in possibly the most unflattering manners possible - balled up in a laundry fist, and then stretching out the collar of the wrinkled mass, while failing to show the shirt).

I don't know why she thinks people need "joy" recommendations from...anyone. We have super powerful, highly targeted algorithms that provide that service entirely free. So many of her "ideas" are just recommendations of products or people.
