#sblaar24 Just heard two dudes walking past my hotel room talking about "the girl with the big tits in *such and such* section." Male colleagues, are you calling out this language? What are you doing to make clear these comments are dehumanising and not welcome?

Older British woman in Bruxelles-Midi: "I'm afraid that I'm quite classist when it comes to people still wearing masks. They should be put out of sight and out of mind. At this point they're just causing psychological distress to the rest of us, wondering if they're sick or just a shaking dog."
