Employer Partnering With Spanx
Do you think an employer who promotes (not requires) the wearing of Spanx under a work uniform is participating in body shaming? I will not disclose my industry or employer though I will mention I am not in the modeling line of work.

Bird & Lime Scooters
This isn’t really a debate but more of a hot topic for those who reside in cities with these scooters.
