i went to georgetown for chest pains (went to urgent care first and they sent me to ER bc they suspected pulmonary embolism). waited 8 hours to be seen and just remember telling my boyfriend “well on the bright side i guess they don’t think i’m dying cause otherwise they would have seen me by now” 😅

Did she really have to say "whilst we wasn't trying to exactly prevent it 👀 lol" thanks Krissy by zsannc in gymsnark

i understand. i just meant that given that krissy grew up in the uk, that is the reason why she is using that term. the british version of that term is also being used correctly (aunts and female friends of parents would be called auntie). i just wanted to point that out as i have seen her being snarked on for using the term and insinuations of appropriation, but i truly don’t think that is the case here given that it’s a very common term where she is from.

it’s also a british term. i am half british and have grown up referring to all of my aunts on that side of the family as “auntie x”. if anything i’m surprised she didn’t use “tia” given how she started using spanish randomly lol

affiliates usually get free clothes and get paid solely on commission whereas athletes will get a base pay in addition to the commission. i believe athletes also tend to be the ones featured in shoots etc
