The online fat-shaming of my pitty/pig/hippo is equal parts mean and accurate 🙄

Yes, I know she’s chonky, SHE knows she’s chonky. No, she doesn’t need a diet, she eats a moderate, monitored amount already. She’s fine, and she loves you

Just know I have shared all your positive comments with her 😊

CNN: "New data shows January was the lowest months for job cuts since the 2009 Great Recession...layoffs way up, hiring ways down. During the month of January, US-based employers announced just over 108,000 layoffs. That's roughly double January 2025. In fact, this is the highest since January 2009"
