Really nerdy but im a graphic designer and so this is what i look out for everyday but the shreddy bus and branding in general really pisses me off and aside from personal taste, the colours fail accessibility tests.. this is really basic stuff, so much for an inclusive kween

Yes, I've heard the rejection sensitivity thing before too and I definitely experience that. I basically don't even like asking anyone to hang out in case they say no. My nightmare is organising my birthday party and people not coming
so I just don't celebrate my birthday. I'm also super sensitive to people criticising me in any way. As a child it presented in a way that if someone told me off for something I'd be suffering thinking about it for weeks!! Crazy to hear others have similar experiences!!!!
I have no background in graphic design but the branding is really off putting to me. My eyesight isn’t that bad but everything blurs together and the baby yellow and pink look amateurish and dated
I agree, and just the name in general "shreddy" and content geared towards losing weight and growing a bum makes it seem so immature, especially compared to new apps like Beyond which are trying to move away from the aesthetics of fitness
Oh my gosh I’m exactly the same. Sometimes I forget to eat or do normal daily tasks
This whole ADHD discussion is so cathartic! I have terrible hypersensitivity, it hurts me when I get rejected and I usually will struggle to stop myself having an emotional outburst. It makes me a bit sad that it was never picked up on when I was a child because it really explains why I struggled so much during school (I’m 24 now) despite getting good grades. I also have multiple conditions associated with ADHD such as depression, OCD and an eating disorder.
The film thing is really interesting to me, I haven’t been able to watch a film in years yet I can watch multiple episodes of 20 minute shows such as The Office. It‘s also impossible for me to read a book despite wanting to.
Sorry for the ramble but this thread has really made me feel so much more normal, I’ve never met anyone else that struggles in the same way!
Anything with pink and yellow together reminds me of an infected boil with pus coming out
Exactly! I read the portfolio of the designer who did the app as it was posted here I think a thread or two ago and I thought it was telling how he essentially said he had to work around the branding - can imagine the pain of a brief like that falling on my desk and having to accommodate some bizarre personal preference from the ceo despite me and my team being the communication specialists
I wear makeup etc., but I often think of this quote when I think about TALA and Shreddy - replace 'silky skin' with 'the ideal body' and you're there (other than [at least explicitly] the bit about boys, to give Grace a scrap of leeway), especially thinking about the types of workouts & exercise they encourage

maybe I’m sensitive but it comes off so condescending and like she’s looking down from her high CEO horse when she posts tit like thisoh here we go, giving out cover letter tips when she's never got a real job off her own back in her life
Are you me?!?
who is this, I love her already
Fashionfolkloreblog !! They did an article on TALA’s ‘sustainability’ aka greenwashing a few weeks ago!
Really late to the party, but I listened to it yesterday and had so much second hand embarassment for her, I almost had to stop a few times. She came off as SO narcissistic, which I guess shouldnt be surprising lol. Literally the podcast is 40mins long and I swear the host got in what, like 5 questions? She would ramble on so much in her answers, and end up talking about things totally unrelated to the question, and would talk so fast, it left zero chance for the host to get a word in or to turn it into more of a conversation. He even asked her twice to answer succinctly because he had many other questions lmao, like c'mon Grace how did you not get the hint?
Also she kept repeating that she had a million followers on IG, and that she was CEO of two companies, which is suuuper unusual (she even said something like "Tala and Shreddy are separate companies, but they're essentially subsidiaries of the same thing... The thing being me *laughs*" which came off super cringe ??). Also plugged the "writing 10,000 words per week at Oxford" thing
. Lol. I was a little surprised, because I do find she normally presents herself pretty well in external interviews... whereas this was the barely-coherent ramblings of a privileged narcissist lol

When your writing is that bad that "editing" means cutting out half of the words you've written
Glad to see ubiquitously, interconnectivity, and infinitely got the cut. I can't believe she managed to use those three words in a single sentence. Also, never forget the time she retweeted this from Patricia - zero self awareness.

I really really hate how she uses sentences with two apostrophes in one after the other after the other. The pace of her writing is shocking, I'm surprised nobody told her during editing to use some shorter ones to break it up. If she tried to read that aloud to herself it would not sound good.
