Here's one I meant to do a while back. Remember the Richard III fringe?

A massive bellend.
I’m a 35 year old educated woman with two young children, married, working full time- and I can’t believe how much I’ve been sucked into the Instagram black hole!!! I’m actually embarrassed at myself for lusting after the jewellery, the cushions, the clothes, even the holidays. I’m so glad I found this site. It’s brought me back down to earth with a bump and I’m so glad. I know this site may be perceived as mean or bitter by outsiders but it’s just a true and honest view, which is much needed. Honestly, I’m so shocked at myself and glad that MOD and clemmie Telford (I cant stand that wannabe MOD) started to post things that disillusioned me slightly and led me here. I’m feeling much better after being here and reading these posts. Not because I’m enjoying the negativity, but because I’m enjoying the truths and the clearer views- rather than the “insta” views perceived through rose tinted glasses. Anyway, thankyou all, I’m feeling much less crap about my life and how much I have to work and I’m feeling very lucky with my little family and my little lot- even if we are always skint 
I’d much rather have my life than the life of those we talk about- and thats the truth.

A lady from Belgium met them in their hotel in Tenerife 4 days ago and posed it on her Instagram. She tagged his Insta on the post and it was on his tagged posts. I just happened to be looking at them and found it. Then I told my husband on the phone and he didn’t give a shit, so I posted it in here because you all understand how crazy it is that’s he’s posting pretending to take boxes to the dump and drinking wine on the cold Kent coast, when in reality he’s sunbathing in Tenerife

Honestly this is all getting fucking ridiculous. Mod said a few things and it's a bit embarrassing, should be an oopsie light hearted moment at the end of the news or a sentence in a rag.
No ones been hurt, small accounts have milked it to get the attention they are desperate for and if any of these small accounts were hurt they need to private their social media for their own sake.
Meanwhile Candice is ignoring she was a pimp and the saconejollys are giving their children cold showers and Jonathan wrote a troll card saying he would mutilate part of his son. Then outside of social media there's the real world with lots of important issues.

I could give you a really long boring answer and then you will no doubt tell me it’s my own fault and not the influencers. It’s not an influencers ‘fault’ per se. And not all of the debt was related to influential purchases. It makes no difference how much was. But I know many people who overstretched, buying ‘necessary’ baby purchases shown by an nhs midwife. Bugaboos, Stokke cots and highchairs, sleepyheads, rigby and pellar bras, it’s like trying to buy a lifestyle you think your baby ‘needs’. (I didn’t buy all or even half those things to be clear.) but the pressure to redecorate, provide a nursery etc are extremely powerful to new mums. Whatvand how my debt was and occurred are irrelevant. I own my debt, I’m responsible, I’ve dealt with it, but after coming out of the toxic Instagram bubble I realised how powerful influencers were even to people who think they would be unable to be influenced.

I do feel a bit sorry for them. Can you imagine how hard it was not to show off another holiday with new dresses and gifted bags, with gifted luggage and new friends and not seeing the older girls because they’ve been off having The Most Fabulous Time with Holiday Friends.
Not posting a photo of themselves entwined on a beach, sun kissed and mutually orgasming at how fucking fabulous they are, must’ve killed them. Not instagramming the flying through the air in a faux-dangerous fashion Twin must’ve have broken their hearts. Bless them. And no ad for a week. How they cried as they spent their own pennies.

The problem is they’re thick. They don’t have the facility for critical thinking and are so utterly self-obsessed that they’re incapable of any objectivity.
They are the worst kind of ‘all lives matter’, ‘we’ve worked really hard for what we’ve got’, ‘if you don’t like it, unfollow’, tone deaf, performative woke, secret Tory voting, Telegraph reading, arriviste, classless, tasteless cunts.
Like greedy, entitled blobs who just sit on the internet and consume, consume, consume. And then they still want yet even more stuff to shove into the bottom of their overcrowded, cheapest-looking, overpriced repurposed kitchen storage.
That dressing room is honestly an 80s teen bedroom nightmare. All it needs is a pink corner sink and a life sized poster of Keanu Reeves on the back of the door and you would literally be looking at my own bedroom 25 years ago.
This is a painful time for many people. For many reasons. Pandemic, job losses, bereavement, and the horrors going on in America right now. We’re in the middle of a massive paradigm shift that will change things forever. And in the middle of all this they have the genius idea of setting up a blagged interiors account for the sole purpose of blagging even more.
A black man was crushed to death in the street by four white police officers just for having a counterfeit ten dollar bill.
In the U.K., 38 women have been murdered by their male partners or relatives since lockdown began.
But yeah, keep bleating about your fucking spindles ‘for the lols’ and getting your arse-licked by the huns. You’re on the back slide to irrelevancy so enjoy it while it lasts.

Here’s my effort for a thread title; no medals expected:
“Sucking off punks underneath London Bridge; all because Miele won’t send me a fridge”
kthxbye

On the subject of freebies I saw this earlier from Elle of Feathering the Empty Nest account. Following the loss of her child a few years ago, she shared the other day that’s she’s pregnant again after miscarriages and a long time trying.
She’s obviously had lots of brands jumping on the news offering her freebies so I love how she’s said she’s got what she needs and doesn’t want it in a polite way.
Such a world apart from the grabby SODs who’d even accept free oven chips and milk!

The bush headed cunt has really got my back up today. 25 isn’t insanely young to be having a child.
At 25 years old I was knee deep in buserelin and hormone stimulating injections, I was shoving progesterone pessaries up my arse, I was taking prednisolone steroids to suppress my immune system whilst simultaneously injecting myself with anti-coagulants to thin my blood every fucking day just to have a sniff at having a baby.
I had already lost 2 babies by 25 years of age and would lose another 4. I would have to have 6 cycles, all self funded (that bastard would probably have gone on the beg for it) of IVF with immune therapy just to get my ONE baby. That affects your mental health you greedy fucker.
Don’t dare cry your showman’s tears because you had to ‘endure’ a beautiful baby at 25 years old. I had to hold my husbands head in my lap while he sobbed because he had held it in for so long trying to support me and he had reached the end of his strength and he didn’t need to run away on his fucking Push Iron to do so.
While my child sits in his colourful bedroom, that we paid for, with his colourful toys and his colourful books that we paid for, eagerly awaiting the return of his extra curricular activities and mind enhancing trips, breaks & holidays, that we pay for, I know that his young life (that we paid over £60k for) is so much better than the materialistic, bland, grabby, shameful and humiliating existence that you offer up for your poor children. Imagine reading on the internet that your mum and dad dreaded the thought of your arrival at first. FOD, you are first class twat but you have arrived at a new destination in twattery for me today.

I think I am lucky, in that I didn't get the internet until 2003, when my youngest daughter was 1. I already had 2 older boys who were 8 and 6. Back then it was mainly message boards/forums like this. I used to frequent the old Bounty boards which was fine, but I was on my 3rd so pretty secure in my abilities.
I do wonder what I would have done if insta was around then, because I have severe and enduring mental illness. I was/am basically an influencers wet dream. Part of my illness is I am prone to manic behaviours and I can become obsessive. I was in £55k of debt because of it, I am now down to £29k debt after 9 years of being in a debt plan. I can't blame influencers for my issues, but I can point to the internet for making it very easy for me to buy stuff quickly. Yes, I was doing that in the high street, but I could drop a lot of money quicker on the internet.
I think that modern life makes people feel much more isolated, while at the same time more connected. What I mean by that is, we have so many more ways to find people with the same interests, but they may not have our best interests at heart. Take the HInch for example, her stuff started off with cleaning and most people could drop 10 quid on cleaning products to be like Hinch, but she has morphed into... I don't know what exactly? Is she a home account or a cleaning account or a mum account or all of them?
I think it's really unfair and cruel to berate people and call them weak for buying what people on insta are selling. People on insta are "relatable". We see advert on tv and know that's an advert. But we see Clemmie or Mrs Hinch or Zoella or whoever saying, "Hey everyone, I got this thing and it is the best thing ever, I totally love it, I know you'll love it too so here's a 10% off code"
I've rambled but what I think I am saying is that insta is nowhere near regulated enough. It is pure manipulation and the sooner the tide turns the better.
