Loved this! When studying for my degree (English, Media & Cultural Studies) I often felt a pressure to be a lot more ‘high brow’ than I really was and would never had admitted that I truly think Paddington 2 is a better film than Fight Club but I think recently there’s been such a shift towards celebrating ‘fluffy’ culture and not being ashamed of your interests from podcasts like the High Low (RIP) and Shameless to the myriad of ‘cores’ and ‘eras’ on Tik Tok - long may this shift to fluff continue!

Love this!! Vicki Notaro has written about this on her Substack as well. Liking “fluff” doesn’t say anything about your level of intelligence! Love from an avid fan of Escape to the Country, the Repair Shop, etc…

Love this Liv ❤️ Firm believer that not everything has to have a meaning or lesson or motive – sometimes you just want Donna and the Dynamos! Like, isn't media supposed to be for escapism too?! My brain is fluff and wants fluff ☁️

ADORED this. More fluff! And more just being honest about whatever it is that makes you bloody happy without fear of any kind of judgement/expectation!
