We’ve deleted our tweets about the current situation involving Blooms and BINI management.
It’s become clear that some of our comments came across differently than we intended and ended up upsetting people in the community, including Blooms we genuinely consider friends. That was never our goal.
We also recognize that we don’t fully understand the full scope of everything that’s happening, so moving forward we won’t be commenting on this situation.
To anyone we offended or disappointed, we’re truly sorry. We appreciate everyone who took the time to share how our words were received, and we’ll do better to be more thoughtful going forward.
Hi, so the woman who carried and gave birth to me was 13 years old, celebrated her 14th birthday only days before I was born. I should’ve been aborted. It’s really terrible that she was made to carry and birth a baby while she was a child herself.
Am I happy to be alive? Yes. Absolutely. Very happy to be here. Would I be mad had I been aborted? No, I wouldn’t exist, I wouldn’t feel anything. I shouldn’t exist. She was a child. The lives of girls/women are more valuable than fetuses.
A nurse I used to work with got fired so suddenly it didn’t make sense. She was always the first one on the floor and usually the last one to leave. She picked up extra shifts when people called in sick, trained new hires without being asked, and even brought food for the team during long rotations. Patients would literally ask if she was working because they trusted her that much.
One afternoon she got called into HR. Ten minutes later she walked out with red eyes, holding a small box with her things. Management told everyone she had an “attitude problem.” No warnings. No write-ups. Nothing.
A few weeks later we found out she had reported a senior doctor for making comments about her body and asking personal questions that made her uncomfortable during shifts.
He’s still there. Still respected. Still mentoring younger staff. Still laughing in the hallways like nothing happened.
She lost her income, her routine, and the career she worked years to build. All because she spoke up.
Sa lahat ng A'tin na nasa live recording, Zoom at Discord ng @awkpquotes na nag-u-upload ng sarili nilang recording of @SB19Official guesting kahapon bago pa man mailabas ng AWKP, mga wala kayong respetong audience at nakakasuka kayo. I am sure hindi proud ang SB19 sa inyo.
