Heard a guy at the airport lounge bar ask the bartender “so, you’re in your 2nd trimester?” The lady wasn’t pregnant and then he followed up with “oh I just saw you rubbing your stomach so assumed”. Why are boomers so cringe out in the wild 😬

Shouldn’t even entertain this comment, but this girl wasn’t extremely obese or anything, she was maybe 15-20 lbs overweight nothing crazy. The guy was probably just as out of shape

I’ve seen someone make a pregnant comment to my supervisor. After she told them she wasn’t, they continued to insist she was and explain why they thought she was.

Lol that person still have a job?🧐

Getting sick and tired of all the self-righteous health people on this platform (aka PWC1). People are overweight for a variety of reasons including physical, mental and emotional. Keep your judgement to yourself.

As a fat person and someone who has struggled with weight my entire life: there’s isn’t nobility or virtue in being fat. Of course I’m not going to judge or shame (tho I’d personally be happy if someone would follow me around to shame me into making better choices) but I won’t be Shanghaied into thinking the fat Victoria’s Secret models are hot. HAES is nonsensical.

1. Grapefruit sized cyst on right ovary 2. Unknown object with no heartbeat (maybe a hematoma) in the gestational sac with my baby 3. An empty gestational sac

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months?
