Mean Girl puts Kerri on Soap Box
In a Facebook post, Post Falls Councilwoman Kerri Thoreson climbs on her Soap Box to address a mean email that she received recently:
By virtue of many roles I have in our communities, I know that it invites interaction with members of the public who only know me through those roles. Not all of that interaction is positive and I accept that. What I can't accept is thoughtless, even if well-intended, criticism that feels like passive/aggressive shaming. I received an email today that kind of made me shake my head. A reader of my column on the topic of heart issues I experienced a decade ago wrote that she'd seen me at a number of events over the holidays and that I was not keeping my weight down. Wow! Thank you dear reader. As someone who has struggled with my weight for much of my adult life I'm quite familiar with what I look like. More here.
Question: When did someone last say something mean about your appearance?
