I've seen some people complaining about Tessa's Instagram again and I kind of have to agree. I don't know if I like all of the selfies she keeps posting. Thoughts?

I’ve gotten a few asks about Tessa’s posting habits recently and I thought I’d just answer them here.

Unlike most people, I am both unsurprised and untroubled by all of the pictures of herself that Tessa posts. I know there’s a lot of people who don’t understand or think it’s because she’s selfish or whatever but I think there’s two answers to it.

First, her Instagram functions as both a personal and professional Instagram like many other influences out there. That means that you’re going to a mix of stuff on there and some posts are going to be a blend of things because Tessa has decided to blur the lines at times and give shout outs to her partners. Tagging a brand is a pretty low key way of promoting them and while she probably doesn’t get paid for those posts, it shows loyalty both to her partners and to her followers and gives a more natural feel to her posts. Whether or not you agree with that is up to you but it’s clearly what she’s doing.

Also you have to understand that Tessa’s brand is herself. She doesn’t have a product or a service she is selling, she is selling her platform and her abilities. Tessa is an influencer and people will listen to her and buy stuff that she promotes and that’s what brands want her for. So, of course she posts a lot of photos of herself. She is the thing that draws people in so it’s only natural that her Insta is photos of herself. Whether or not you like what she’s doing or feel it’s effective is kind of irrelevant as long as her brands are happy and people keep engaging with her. Clearly, that is still happening so Tessa doesn’t really have to change her strategy. I know that sucks to hear but from a branding perspective, that’s how it works. There’s always going to be people who are unhappy with what ushe posts and it seems like the majority don’t care so she’s going to keep posting.

Not to mention, that’s by no means all Tessa posts. If you factor in her insta stories, it’s actually much more balanced. She tends to post more action and scenery stuff on her story which means that her main feed does look like it does but it’s important not to forget that those stories count towards her social media presence in general.

I know a lot of people are saying that they can’t connect with all of the stuff she’s doing right now but here the thing is Tessa’s life right now is kind of crazy. She is getting opportunities to go to Mexico, to go to France, because she’s worked her ass off to get them. She put in 4 (20 in reality) years of hard work to build herself up to the place she is in now to be able to do these things and yes, perhaps the average person isn’t going to get to do the things she does but that comes with the territory of being famous. Once tour prep starts up, we’re going to start getting more stuff from that and I think people will settle down a little because it’s going to naturally feel more balanced. She’s more willing to share stuff from work so we’re going to get more stuff in that regard.

Now, from a personal perspective, I think Tessa does struggle with how much to share. She very rarely posts pictures of her family, of her day to day activities, and more recently she’s been cutting down on her posts with Scott. Tessa has said that she is a very private person and she has said that she has struggled post Olympics with what and how much to share and I think she’s still struggling. She’s figuring this stuff out by herself and Tessa is media trained but she’s not a PR expert and so she’s going to struggle to find a balance. That’s normal and to be expected. The idea that she always knows what to post is simply unrealistic and we should stop acting like it.

There’s a reason why people hire PR consultants to help them out with their social media presence when they get to the point that Tessa is at and that’s why there are so many great examples of how to do that stuff right because there are teams of people being paid to make sure that their content is balanced and consistent.

So yeah, at the end of the day, saying Tessa is just self obsessed or whatever is just not what is going on. Her insta is pretty similar to a lot of other influencers intsa’s out there so it’s no real surprise to me that she posts what she does. Also, just to throw it out there, no one is forcing anyone to look at Tessa’s posts. If you don’t like it, don’t follow her. It’s as simple as that.

So today I had ma first proper fucked up thing happen with drugs that has actually scared me a wee bit but obviously no that much since I’ll be oot my wee banger again in 4 days time but aye, anywho, so we were all seshin over the weekend n it got tae Sunday everyone’s dying aff slowly but surely making their way hame so I thought to masel fuck it git yer arse in gear an git yersel in a 10 minute taxi up the road, after all I was the last man standing, as per usual. So books the taxi n goes about gettin ma shit together and ma nose starts to get itchy.. my eye catches the plate on the table with what can only be described as the mother fuckin daddy slugs of all slugs that I’d previously thought would make a good el night cap.

My phone buzzes - the taxis outside.

Everythings packed, only thing empty is my nose and my baggy and wallet if I had tae leave this phenomenal Special K on the plate to waste so like any other cunt, I hunkered doon, squared up the slug wae ma el school Reilly’s pool hall card, picked up the straw and after 6 full whack snorts it was finally all gone. Nae mare..all I had to do was get masel fae the front door tae the taxi and oot the other side. Oh I fuckin made it right into that taxi right but that’s where the story begings my friend. That’s where it all properly begins…

So it’s yer usual chat where ye goin? How ye dain? And so on right so a tell him where am goin and he’s still talkin away n I’m sat there thinking tae masel it’s takin me fuckin ages to answer masel in ma own heed tae the point a was near stoppin n start goin fuckin backwards let alone process anything this guy’s sayin to me. Aw a want is ma bed and ma burd fur a cuddle eae a big fat spliff y'know? So aye I’m no even in the car 2 minutes - like we are literally aboot 5 streets away from the hoose he picked me up at and still another 3.4 miles tae the destination tae go - and aw I can feel masel starting to phase right oot so a take oot ma phone n open up ma camera - fuck knows why.

Then the next thing I know I see the polis station tae ma left which is about 2 miles away fae ma hoose where he was supposed to drap me aff and the taxi drivers geein it he’s takin me to the polis station. Now bare in mind I’ve absolutely nae clue what’s happened and why or how long I’d been in his motor for so I start trying tae ask why he’s takin me tae the polis station when he knew the address I was going tae, I have more than enough cash on me tae cover the journey cause its never any mare than £7 for the 10/15 minute journey so wit the fuck happened in the last roughly 30 minutes to make him take me tae the polis rather than ma ain hoose. So trying to figure it oot whilst tryin tae find words fae somewhere tae ask wit was goin oan and fuck knows where fae a tell ye, but I managed tae find and get oot 3 words tae him “why the polis?” while waving two tenner notes tae him like hulloo av goat yer money wits the issue? It’s only 7 quid av goat 20 here? Taxi driver pulls up ootside the station, turns the engine aff takes aff his seatbelt n turns n looks at me n goes

“Hi hen welcome back don’t worry yer no in any harm or anythin you just got in the motor n ye completely spaced oot. Ye couldny string a sentence the gither n couldny even tell me yer name. Ye awrite? Wit did ye take? A took ye tae the drap aff address but when I asked ye for the cash ye just sat startin at yer hons like ye had nothin so ye couldny pay the fair n ye wur in absolutely nae fit state to be papped oot at a door step that I didny even know if ye had keys intae or that so I thought I would drive slowly round the long way fae the drap aff address tae the polis station tae gee ye time tae come round before we made any decisions and thankfully ye have y'know hen. Ye had me a bit worried so ye did.”

Noo am literally still phasing in n oot tryin tae take in everythin this blokes sayin and in ma ain heed tryin tae figure oot wit the fucks went oan but slowly but surely I pull words fae ma arse n still speaking slower than Steven Hawkins did, I start tae proper apologise tae the guy lit mate am so so fuckin sorry man I thought I woulda made it back tae the flat in time. Obviously that wisny the case here but i dae have yer money I have mare than enough look…See?? Can ye please just take me hame am aw good like I just need ma scratcher y'know? Thats if ye’ll still have me of course?“

Taxi driver gees it the whack a questions one by one like he’s been here done it aw before

Him: "Right so ye know yer no in any harm or that aye? ” Me: “aye”

Him: “And ye have came back too a wee bit noo aye?” Me: “Aye”

Him: “ And ye just wanty go hame n ye’ve definitely goat keys tae get intae the hoose aye?” Me: “Aye, that’s right aye please if ye could buddy.”

Him “Right hen just you take yer time n comin back round I’ll get ye up the road the noo. So what did ye take if ye dont mind me askin?”

Me: “awh driver am so sorry bud I really am. I eh took some gold ol Special K before I go in the motor”

Him: “Awh fur fuck sake hen. Ye need to watch yersel with these things noo a days. Ye dunno what yer gettin”

Me: “awk it was definitely ket got a good guy fur it y'know? Was just really fuckin bangin and was a big daddy slugger line I took”

Him: “aye hen I’ve had a few ae them masel yer that used tae such good shit that yer surprised it could be even better than usual y'know?”

Me: “Exactly mate. Exactly. Here mate thank you so much for being so reasonable n puttin up wae ma shit I hope I wisny a cunt or anythin tae you I’m so fuckin sorry if I was”

Him: “ naw hen ye were awrite honestly was just worried aboot ye. I seen yer wee eyebaws flicker when I first mentioned the polis I could see that wis the thing that if anything it would be the thing that would get ye back tae normality so I just kept sayin it to ye on the way to the polis station so ye knew wit was happenin and where ye were goin but yer aw good noo yer almost hame ye can get in tae yer pit n right intae la la Land.”

After aboot 10 minutes of back and forth chat and what felt like the fuckin worlds most longest taxi journey I was finally back at the original drap aff address. My ain hoose. Driver then stated the damage £14.50 for the near 9 mile trip round a part of Glesga - that's a 12 minute journey turned into a 40 minute journey so obviously I handed him the £20 n telt him tae keep the change for being such a fuckin true decent human being n a proper gentleman towards a young lassie alone in a vulnerable, albeit self inflicted state.

Might no be a lot of cash I gave him extra but am no minted n it wis aw I had oan me cause well let’s face it this stories aboot basically traveling another completely fantasy world/planet in the comfort of a Glesga Hampden taxi on St Paddy’s weekend.

Before I get oot the motor he makes me look out my keys so I know where they are. Make sure I have ma phone and any wallets or money too and lastly but no least tae look after masel and please don’t ever take ket before gettin in a taxi again cause that was fuckin scary hen. Everywan needs their blow oots but just be careful awrite? I’m glad yer awrite noo so goan get intae yer hoose feed yer animals and git tae yer bed and have a big spliff"

Me: “I canny thank ye enough driver yer a life saver and that is literally the case the day. You saved my life. I could have got intae any motor. It could have been any cunt driving the motor and bmmpphh before ye know it people are looking back to where I was last seen rather than lookin forward to where I should be goin yknow? Anyway thank you again man you truly are a legend n shook his hon for like the 50th time and wished him a happy days work an all the best in his future life n that I’ll definitely take this wae me.”

Oot the motor I go and stagger and fumble my way against the wind intae the building, up in the lift n spend a further 20 minutes trying tae get intae ma own hoose cause none ae the keys would fuckin work cause they were aw like marshmallow flumps and just wouldny go intsa the lock to the point I threw a pathetic tantrum and until a recent moment of clarification (I’m still hazy as fuck it’s only been like 7 hours since this happened) I have come to the realization I actually just sobered up enough for the keys to look like keys and tae pick the right key and get the door open before swiftly falling back in tae an unnatural coma state instead of actually “sweet talking” ma keys into one of them to miraculously stop being flumps and in fact be keys and open the door like I thought I had…

Noo am lying in ma bed still hazy as fuck writing aw this oot for absolutely nae reason but tae remind masel an important lesson…

Don’t leave the hoose on ket until yer a bit mare wae it and definitely no after a mother fuckin daddy slug..

Anyways until next time.. 👁️
