I don’t understand what the “return to normal” contingent wants exactly? Maybe it’s different in other parts of the country, but I can do anything I want. I can go to restaurants. I can go to concerts and shows. I can go to bars. I can go to sporting events. I can go to stores. I can go to movies. I can get I can’t…

The idea that measures should continue until the virus is no more are totally unrealistic.

For instance, if working in person or sending children to daycare or school was so dangerous, how do you explain that Europeans didn’t close schools or daycares for very long

To all the over-reactionaries who are trying to make me out to be a Tom Hanks hater: Yes, Tom did mention several women during the course of his eternal speech, but at a certain point he referenced specifically a list of directors he admired, and he was citing them by first name only, and it was the same old guard.…

I don’t know if it will be picked up by social media because it happened so quickly, but while Tom Hanks was accepting his big award he took a moment to list directors he admires and they were all men - Marty, Ron, Steven, etc. - and during this moment they also shot to Michelle in the crowd. While Hanks was listing…

Wow, that was heartbreaking to watch and I didn’t think they were going to go so deep. But it was beautiful to witness how well these women handled speaking their truth, holding themselves accountable, holding others accountable, and forging a way forward with hearts on sleeves.

It’s almost like someone with an over the top custom apartment took advantage of their landlord’s patience and their patience ran out. 

Here’s my literal receipt from ordering one, I’m gonna try scrolling back through her Insta to 2015ish which is when this went down and she shuttered her shop (there are a good number of interviews at Buzzfeed and stuff from 2015 where she talks about her shop), that being said she’s pretty social savvy and has…

Thank you so much for sharing this story, Prachi. This is the most incisive and heartfelt reporting I’ve ever read.

You’re saying she was a victim of “good girl” patriarchy and is still being victimized.

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…

If I read that incorrectly or, as you say, read something that wasn’t there at all, then I apologize for that misapprehension.

They are expected to use evidence of her eating disorder, her time on the cheerleading squad and track team, and her participation in the National Honor Society—evidence Richardson’s defense has used to paint her as a rule-abiding overachiever

Or, maybe the US needs to chill the fuck out, with this companion/service animal stuff? I hate going back to the US and being surrounded by everyone showing off their companion animals, as if the airport and airplane are some kind of catwalk. Your wearing sweatpants and UGGs while flying to Des Moine. No one cares.

At this point of globalization, you would think planes would be better designed for holding companion/service animals? But airlines love breaking wheelchairs for the disabled, and unless you yourself and all of your rowmates are size 6 or under, and 5’10 or shorter, lmao good luck air travel is the fucking worst

There is that.

Friends of friends were supposed to get married last weekend. Instead, a funeral service was held on their wedding day because some woman in a car hit and ran the motorcyclist groom. If this chick staged this, she can rot.

HR works for management to protect the company. The sooner people realize this, the sooner you will understand the true role of your HR deparment.

As a kid I remember being grossed out by all the tongue action in their love scene. It was one of those moments where you’re like,”Adults really DO that?”

I’ll never forget how confused I was with her first date with Maverick. He shows up really late to the date because his homo-erotic volleyball match took too long. He announces that he’s going to take a shower in her bathroom and leaves her waiting again. Did Maverick even bring a change of clothes with him? Because…
