The “covid 19” isn’t funny, it’s fat shaming and fat phobic (#reblog, #bloglove)

We don’t often reblog posts from the same year but this isn’t a normal year. April of 2020 feels like a very long time ago. But I started to think about this post as I read friends’ posts about body shame and anxiety. It’s worse this year I think because it’s the usual spring bikini body angst piled on top of fear of leaving our houses and seeing friends and family in public again. We have wild unstyled hair, often it’s grey. And some of us have gained some weight. Tracy is here to tell you that jokes about the “covid-19” aren’t funny. They don’t help. And they’re fat shaming and fat phobic. Go Tracy! And thanks!
