The Wizard Liz went super viral last year for sharing the story of how her fiancé, Landon Nickerson, cheated on her while she was four months pregnant. Now, she has gone viral again for sharing details of their difficult custody dispute.
Liz is a feminist dating and manifestation content creator. She went against her own advice to get engaged to Landon after just three months. After he cheated on her, she revealed that he is broke and she had been funding their relationship. Now, Liz says that Landon is making it impossible to co-parent and is withholding her son from her while she struggles to remain in the United States on her visa.
This saga has led to a lot of discussion about feminist content creators who preach de-centering men and warn against marriage, but turn around and do the opposite.

A woman named Tiffany and her husband got in a confrontation in a Pigeon Forge Nike outlet parking lot with a shirtless man who looked like a kangaroo. Now, Tiffany’s husband claims that it was over a parking dispute and that they did nothing wrong. I feel like I do need to hear the shirtless guy’s side, though.

Patrick Ta Beauty released a new line of blushes called Transition Blush. However, many BeautyTok users allege that Patrick Ta is trying to profit off a blush technique called transitional blush or transition blush, popularized by the Black female makeup artist Ngozi Esther Edeme, or Painted by Esther. Edeme made a TikTok response saying that she does not own the technique, but that she has had some “weird interactions” with Patrick Ta. Ta clarified that he did not create the technique, although, in an earlier TikTok, he stated, “I created transition blush to give you that flawless, seamless, blurred blush application.”
An example of “transitional blush” from Painted by Esther:

In one of the more ridiculous legal sagas on TikTok, Florida police gave a ticket to a woman named Katie Thomas for allegedly holding a cell phone in her right hand while driving. The problem? Katie Thomas does not have a right hand. The day before the court hearing, the case was dismissed for lack of evidence. You can’t make this shit up.

Others debate this, pointing out that cortadillo is one layer of cake with glaze, while dot cakes are two layers with buttercream icing. Another viral food — boiled strawberries, which are supposed to be good for your skin — is being compared to kompot, or a Polish drink made with boiled strawberries.
