I met the leader singer of my fav band. Not a small band, but we’re not talking 1D level. Anyway would agree with Laura to meet our heroes cos we’re married now xoxo

It just accured to me that I finally read the Newsy in your timezone, so first thing in the morning!! I girlbossed a bit too hard, flew over half the world and am currently by myself in Aotearoa on a backpacking trip... Definitely ✨️scared✨️ and in over my head.

If someone has tips (for this 24yo girl), feel very welcome to respond ❤️

have been obsessed with fandoms since i was an og 1d stan, here are some of my other fave articles about fandom (i even ended up writing my thesis about music fandoms lol)

https://www.nme.com/reviews/live/harry-styles-live-in-london-wembley-harrys-house-photos-setlist-3251190 - i particularly love this description of fans at a harry show "They are all clearly having a blast so palpable that it actually feels groundbreaking: it is only when you witness this much uncomplicated glee that you realise how rarely you see it."

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/sheffield-covid-2020-music-year-review-1099994/ - i love rob & his writing sm

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/black-pop-stans-harry-styles-taylor-swift-bts-1021915/ - i also love Brittany and what she writes & any discussion of fandom + activism

I wouldn’t really say it was meeting my “hero” but I met a local tv show host of a show that my family is obsessed with. He was having a birthday party for his daughter at the pool I work at. Literally me and one of my managers knew who he was. So we were out there completely fanning out over him lol. What makes it even funnier is, that day all the lifeguards including my ex were causing extreme drama and chaos that day over tons of shit and instead I was unbothered by my ex meeting my fav host.

OKAY so I grew up calling a clothes horse an "airer", then I went flatting and no one knew what I was talking about 💀 I've literally never met anyone outside of my family that calls it that so I've had to train myself to call it a clothes horse.
