Many people with hearing impairments do not object to the term "deaf". Although the word "dumb" does have an arcane meaning of someone who cannot speak, in almost all modern contexts everyone uses the word "dumb" to mean stupid. Many people who are hearing impaired do speak and almost all communicate by some means. …

Now I've become one of those middle-aged women who looks out for young women on public transportation. I can think of two times when I was traveling alone as a teenager when a nice older lady saved me from a creep.

I am sad this show is ending. I have really enjoyed it for the past 7 years (started a bit late in the UK) but honestly at the same time I'm happy it'll be over. This season was a slog. There are whole seasons that were a slog. I'd personally have liked last season to end with the meeting and then us to have one…

Gloves are dangerous in a professional kitchen. One of the many reasons is the fact that if a latext glove melts, it melts INTO the hand before it can be removed, causing permanent damage.

The linked article says this was her lawyers first capital case.

I say yes. How many years have you worked in a kitchen? I cooked for 5 years through my BA. Your hands are tools, and they can be kept clean.

Good lord, who were this woman's lawyers? They should be disbarred.

MoGlo, you know I love your writing a lot but the title man! I was literally mainpaged today with an article called "How We Talk About Women" and your title is everything that I was complaining about how the media dehumanises women by llabelling them in reference to men.

Gloves impair your sense of touch and make it more dangerous. Glove wearers are…

Cue influx of people who don't understand how racism and institutional power works in 3, 2, 1....

Is this what it's like to be a model? You just ask out loud for stuff and you're pretty much guaranteed that someone will grant it to you?

Do gang members wear things that look like a Muslim headscarf? I just can't picture that.

"[A]n employee said the dress code was sometimes waived but that it couldn't be in her case because the head covering was red, according to the complaint."

I think the only interpretation needed is the one that says "She's trying to hard" and "She possesses an almost crippling fear of not being as epic and revolutionary as she thinks she is" with a dash of "Just throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" mentality.

I've been preaching this shit for years. Amazon Prime changed my life.

Gawd contouring again.. Etss everywhere!!

OH MY GOD I LOVE THE HAPPY JUMPY NUNS.

The denim is almost as bad as the photo shopping.

Because Bubble Tea is one of humanity's most horrifically disgusting creations.
