Ugh, I saw a high school friend recently who ALWAYS greets me/people by exclaiming "Ohmygod, you're so skinny!!!" like it's the best compliment. It was in a group of people so I didn't want to call her out, but I'm like...this is embarrassing. We are adult women, raising other humans. Your body literally just grew a person. Can we stop caring about something so absurdly abstract as what shape it is? Anyway. I also really want to see Promising Young Woman, probably by myself and not with my husband since I can already anticipate him sympathizing with the "good guys" and me just combusting into a fit of rage. And so it goes. Love your newsletter! xo
It's so strange to me how people still see being skinny as a compliment. Like, you never know why someone is skinny, or what they're doing to stay that way! It truly is embarrassing, especially as we get older. And how would it make anyone else who isn't skinny feel? Sigh. Thank you April. <3
