It's Christmas morning. You rip the wrapping off a gift to reveal a box stamped with the Selfridges logo.
"Just a little something to show how much I care", your SO says.
Thrilled, you open it to find a dead-eyed porcelain butt nut box staring back at you. RRP £560. WYD?
Adele had popped the microphone between her cleave to launch some t shirts and money for drinks into the crowd 💀💀 I love her like a family member

For
@MetroUK_Life
I'm looking back at this viral microtrend, and I want to speak to people who bought it. Did you love it? Do you still?
DMs are open - but you must be willing to share pics of you in The Dress

Remember when this fit was all it took to serve cunt? if you showed up to the party in one of these, an H&M MTV crop top and some wedges nobody could say SHIT to you all night
Women please do not take unnecessary risks like having a walk or a drink or being alone or being in a club or seeing a mate or going on a date or talking to strangers or looking at strangers or going outside or existing at night or not being constantly exhaustingly on guard or

People who are estranged from family - what are the top clichés you DREAD hearing from people when you tell them about your situation?
I'm talking things like "you only get one mum/dad/whatever", and "there's two sides to every story"
#journorequest
My most personal article to date (ew) about parental estrangement and why you shouldn't feel obligated to have anybody shit in your life.
Forgiveness can be good and healthy, but it can also be poisonous and exhausting.

My Chemical Romance is touring again. Hayley Williams was on stage at Coachella. Travis Barker has married a Kardashian.
That’s right – emo is really hot again.
The world: *Is regularly cruel and stressy and expensive and Nigel Farage won't stop talking*
Also the world: Look at the pretty birds lol here's one for your head
Such crushing news. Benjamin taught me at Brunel - it sounds so cheesy but he seriously changed my life. His kind, genius critiques and his encouragement gave me so much confidence I’d never had. I move through the world differently now because of him
He’ll be so sadly missed
With all this vaccine vs the pill talk it feels like a good time to reshare this:
Constant bleeding, migraines, mood swings, anxiety, depression, blood clots - it's 2021, why is being on birth control still such an ordeal for so many?

What springs to mind when you read the words ‘The Zara Dress’?
Is it black and white polka dots? Three-quarter sleeves? A floaty calf-length hemline? Of course it is.

For Stylist Magazine, I'm looking to hear from beauty trend experts/general trend forecasters for an article all about red makeup for 2024. Deadline ASAP!

Therapy:
- Stressful
- Will probably cry
- Involves facing up to my problems (ew)
Listening to Lizzo:
- Yay
- No more tears ever
- It ain't my fault blame it on my juice (yah yaheee)
This is something I've wanted to do for absolute ages
Estrangement is just as varied and nuanced as the people experiencing it, and I'm so stoked to help people share their stories
To kick things off, here's mine -

The words, ‘sex’, ‘pleasure’ and ‘cancer’ rarely go together. I spoke to

Years of fear and exhaustion and rage went into this article:
Why are we blamed for walking home, or going to a club, or having a drink, or going for a run, or any of the perfectly normal things men can do without a second thought?

Just in case you were wondering, some 21/22 year old girls we met in the club toilets this weekend thought I was their age. Meaning they thought I was 21/22 (twenty one or twenty two). Just to let you know, in case you were wondering.
"I’ve since read my files and learned that we were both, unusually, quite happy to leave, and went willingly with the social worker: probably an indication of the environment we were leaving."

"It's hotter in other countries 🤪🤪" ok but UK infrastructure is not equipped to handle these temperatures. I'm from Texas where, yes it is hotter, but home air con is key - there are so few places to hide/recover from heat here. Shut up!!
My first opinion piece for
@MetroUK
: The president legitimises racist behaviour and guns are on sale at local supermarkets. So yeah, going home makes me nervous.
'I walk around Walmart with my family and see a row of guns lined up ready to buy and I’m reminded that yeah, it’s really that easy.'

Do you feel like an actual adult? The kind who's put together, in control, and unafraid to do things like ring a GP or go to the bank? I don't, and I'm not alone
