It will finally change when corporations see, through a cost/benefit analysis, that discrimination costs them more money than it saves them.

I heard a woman once talking about the abusive relationship she had been in and she said, “I didn’t think of myself as an abused woman. I thought of myself as a very strong woman who was deeply in love with a very damaged man, but a man who could be made whole if I just loved him enough.” It was enlightening and…

I was with a guy once a couple decades ago. We had been dating a little while, it was starting to get kind of serious. One night we had a stupid fight. I don’t remember what it was over, but it was dumb. He gave me the silent treatment over it for four days. Wouldn’t speak to me, wouldn’t look at me, wouldn’t…

It’s also worth considering that women are equally vulnerable to the idea that Abuse is Uncommonly Bad But Also Uncommon which is strengthened by a Just World Theory, where it can’t be happening to them so the misery must stem from some internal character flaw rather than that the abuser likes the victim’s misery and…

I was worried about being in a perpetual state of hangriness during my liquid diet after jaw surgery, based on the experiences of others. Surprisingly, however, I never really felt hunger pangs and even neglected to eat regularly, though that might be because my body figured out that if it felt hungry, I was going to…

I lost 60lbs last year and have kept it off this year. The most mind blowing thing that happened during this process was the realization that the sensation that I had always thought of as “hunger” was not hunger at all but a sugar craving. Real hunger mostly stays in the belly and even after a 24 hour fast is quite…

Prevention is great except if you’re trying to lose weight. How to get rid of the eternal “I’m thinking about food constantly because I don’t get as much of it as I’d like” problem?

Managed to defy my low battery:

you should only trust me

Also Coco. Literally never even *heard* of it via mainstream American media. I only knew about it because of a Latino USA podcast about what a smash hit it was in Mexico, and how Disney actually did a good and respectful job of it. It’s on Netflix now, and my god, it is just lovely.

Yah and then they shat all over it. White boys like Star Wars too but not with female leads or POC.

I just really love Brie Larson. She chooses interesting roles, does a good job with them, and persistently advocates to make the world a better place (and not just for people who look like her). You’re all right, Brie.

This app looks great, thanks for sharing. Speaking from Alaska where we wrestle with D deficiency (for 8 months of the year you can’t get ANY vitamin D from the sun this far north) I can attest that it’s nearly impossible to get as much as we need from food alone.

Supplements help in the winter but aren’t nearly as…

That’s wasn’t meant as criticism of your word choice, rather the legal defense as reported in the yahoo quote (which I thought it’s usage in the title was in reference to). My point being, that the video of fully-clothed Meghan is significantly less racy than topless pictures of Kate. Besides that, even though the…

Hey I’ve met her! It was few years back when I worked at REI. She was wearing a jacket with sponsor patches and I hooked her up with a co-worker who had done the Antarctica marathon twice. Glad to see things went well.

Having heels and/or pantyhose be required or otherwise “necessary” is SUCH. BULLSHIT. Bulllllllshit.

The concept of professionalism, appropriateness, and footwear is interesting. I grew up in a rural community where you would get laughed out of town for wearing high heels on the main street or at the very least identified as “not from here.”

I will stan a cute block heel shoe until the day I die tho.

I really wish heels weren’t necessary to look professional as a woman. In my field, it’s just required, and it blows because heels are the WORST.
