Some Tuesdays, I give you extensive link roundups. Today I want to talk about just three things, but they are all (imo) pretty darn important.

  1. The infamous chubby filter on TikTok. YES I TRIED IT.

  2. The creepiness of Evie Magazine and what the founders had to say about fatness in a recent interview.

  3. One cute and (as far as I can tell!!) thoroughly ethical purchase I am making for my kitchen this week. (Don’t worry, it’s not another air fryer.)

Let’s get into it. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

@dennismccann_Ffs shouldn’t of had that takeaway last night @Kathleenxrooney on insta 🧡🍒 😳🍕
