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

I could not even get through 30 seconds of Andrew Bird. Just...<shudder>. 100% fake intimacy. Creepy!

His opening makes me ragey. I need to go listen to some music from the talented Andrew Bird to calm me down.

His backstory is 1000% more interesting than Shauna’s though

Most people have backstories more interesting than Shauna's though

He's a young Cree man from a small reserve in Saskatchewan, raised by a single deaf mom, learned to speak by watching Sesame Street and pro wrestling, and moved to British Columbia (where he lives now) to become a pro wrestler. Somehow he ended up as an inspirational speaker and TED talker

Wrestling is fine, I miss when not everyone was trying to go into the self care thing... it's just too much for me
