In this month's episode of The Derailment Chronicles, we start with a life update as I celebrate a new 5km PB, my first ever 8km run, and another successful soap-making adventure that may or may not have ended in a finger injury. I also give my honest thoughts on my North Face Base Camp bag after more than a year of daily use.
Then we dive headfirst into the latest YouTube drama, including James Charles' controversial response to a former Spirit Airlines employee, his new Painted Foundation, and whether it was the right move. We also unpack the VidCon controversy involving Adam McIntyre and the Ballinger family, the fallout from Rachel Ballinger being dropped as a featured creator, and the growing tensions surrounding a proposed Colleen Ballinger documentary.
So grab a coffee, get comfy, and join me for an episode full of blood, sweat and YouTube tears.
