#JillianMichaels

  •  The celebrity trainer is speaking out after she has been accused of body shaming Lizzo.
  • She questioned, “why are we celebrating her body and not her music” and said how “it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes.”
  • She took to Twitter to clarify her comments saying, “we are all beautiful, worthy and equally deserving. I also feel strongly that we love ourselves enough to acknowledge there are serious health consequences that come with obesity—heart disease, diabetes, cancer to name only a few. I would never wish these for ANYONE and I would hope we prioritize our health because we LOVE ourselves and our bodies.”
  •  Lizzo has not responded to the controversy.

 

#DigitalEtiquette

  • A new book is laying the groundwork for how we should behave in this digital age.
  • “Kill Reply Al: A Modern guide to Online Etiquette” is giving some tips that some say are surprising.
  • Watch your punctuation. Putting a period at the end of a text is redundant because the end of the message is the end. Adding the extra effort comes across as angry.
  • Don’t hastily hit reply all…look over the list of recipients before you hit send.
  • Emojis and exclamation points are good in moderation…they can get your tone across but don’t go overboard.
  • And never, ever leave a voicemail. If someone doesn’t pick up, drop an email or text instead.
