Sit down with Zara on the bus to talk about the shifting landscape of our for-you-pages and home-feeds. It seems as though we are moving away from the overly curated, typical influencer content and towards more educational, insightful, and relatable content. Are we just sick of being sold things or does this relfect a wider societal shift? Let's talk...

I love a label! As someone who grew up knowing that "straight' did not fit, I longed to understand what term did feel right in order to finally gain a sense of belonging. Yet, why is it seen as such a taboo to change the label you first identified as? Let's talk the taboos of changing your label, being unlabelled, and the change from lesbian to bisexual, all from the front seat of the bus.

Suddenly we are back in the depths of 2016 YouTube diet culture. Foods are being labelled as either 'good' or 'bad', we have men in supermarkets telling us how toxic these every-day items are for our bodies, oat milk is now the devil, except this is TikTok and it is 2024. Diet culture seems to have had a makeover, and is now presented in the form of nutritional advice online. Let's break it down from the front seat of the bus, and see how this "all or nothing' approach is actually not very healthy.

Join me from the front seat of the bus to discuss my take on straight people entering queer clubs and bars. Truthfully, I see no harm in straight friends joining queer partners/friends/family for queer nightlife if they are respectful and there to have fun. Yet, bachelorette/hen parties and mobs of straight men.... not quite the same. Let me know what you think!

disclaimer: there are a few occasions that I used the word "gay" that I think would've been worded better as "queer" as a more umbrella term.

Why in 2024 are men still pushing the narrative that there is an "acceptable" number of people that a woman should have sex with? Let's sit down to discuss on the bus why there is simply no need to even count the number of people you have had sex with, and how the whole idea of 'body-count' is not a very sex-positive stance to bring in to the new year. Ditch the notes list besties, and to the alpha-males, please reassess your values.

This is also the first episode where we have had an input from passengers, so thank you to the elderly couple who chimed in and shared their stance in this episode. It is still is making me laugh.

No one is talking about the impact that the creators you watch online truly has on your own mental health. So let's sit down to chat about how you truly are a product of the content you consume, and some creators to have on your radar for 2024 for a 'healthier' feed online. The fact is, if you consume sad content for 3 hours a day, you cannot expect to have the healthiest mindset.

Let's sit down on the bus and discuss how much society and uni-culture in the UK is deep rooted in drugs and alcohol. On pints, chit-chat, and how sobriety is becoming trendy, but so is casual alcoholism at university. Join me alongside the commuters and let's discuss....

We've likely accepted that our life isn't going to emulate the influencers online who wake up, open PR packages, then spend a day at appointments and pilates. But what about the "normal" girls who post a DITL ft their 9-5 and whole-food dinner?? Today let's talk about comparison online to the non-influencers, and how it is just important to not compare your life to theirs too. Social media can be fabricated, exaggerated, and just as fake for the "normal" users too.

Charli D'Amelio shot some promotional videos behind the checkout in Walmart and everyone went wild, but is it justified? I sat down on the bus to break down why we find it distasteful to see high-class celebs and influencers cosplaying as working class individuals whether for fun, fame, or promotion. This isn't a quirky aesthetic, it's many people's lifestyles that shouldn't be tapped in to for the benefit of the rich. Let's talk about it on the bus
