elon musk's estranged daughter vivian is the icon we deserve
+ a hilarious time capsule of covid ("did you hear they locked Italians IN the country?") and a new Pope Patrol 𓆩♡𓆪
Hi babies!!! How are you???? I had a weird thing happen yesterday, and I was going to save the story for this week’s ‘Shit You Should Wear About’ but I just felt like I had to get it out here.
Basically yesterday I went to pick up a necklace that I’d bought on Facebook Marketplace, and when I got there, the woman handed it over and said “I really didn’t want to sell this, but it was from my ex-husband.”
Makes sense, I thought, we’ve all been there, getting rid of our past lives etc.
“It says ‘I love you to death’ and that’s actually what he tried to do to me,” she said.
With that, I sorta slinked out the door and tried to make sense of wtf I’d just heard. Did her ex try to kill her? Himself? I wasn’t sticking around to find out.
Anyway, I’m still going to wear it, even though it’s a cursed fkn necklace 𓆩♡𓆪
Hope ur day was less strange!
A hilarious covid time capsule
I’ve been on a psycho mission to clean out my camera roll over the past few days (running SYSCA has meant that it’s been fucked for like 6 years) and it’s really been making me reflect. One of the things it brought up was a bunch of texts from the very start of covid that a bunch of you had sent me. Honestly, they’re so fucking funny, so I wanted to share them with you here:
I know it was traumatic, but sometimes it’s good to have a little chuckle.
Sport You Should Care About: Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly are disqualified from Chinese GP
Eeeeeek. These dudes have been disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix for technical infringements.
One of the skid blocks on Hamilton's car was found to be less than the required thickness after the race.
His team-mate Charles Leclerc and Alpine's have also been disqualified, after their cars were both deemed underweight in post-race checks.

Ok so we all stan Vivian Wilson
Just a killer fkk profile from Teen Vogue really. They interviewed Vivian Wilson - Elon Musk’s estranged daughter and she’s my new bratty icon.
I mean read this:
“I have a sharp tongue,” Wilson tells Teen Vogue in her second-ever published interview. “When you spend all of COVID [lockdown] in online communities of queer people who are constantly getting into drama and trying to read each other, [you] learn how to make a response very quickly, and you learn how to be funny and snap at someone else in a comedic way…. Getting into fights with other queer teenagers — that's how you learn how to be quick and witty.” Much like her father, Wilson is extremely online; unlike her father, she’s really good at it.”
And especially this:
TV: Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.
VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't give a f**k. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.
