Yeah, it’s not like Salish people have the internet. How could you possibly contact someone to ask if your art actually honors their culture?

My only experience of “ugly Americans” in Paris occurred in the catacombs. Young couple in tourist gear (shorts, tennis shoes & socks, fanny pack) brought their baby and 3 year old to visit a bunch of scary bones in a dark place. Between ignoring the 3 year old/admonishing him not to cry, they complained loudly about…

He retweeted Ijeoma Oluo’s Rachel Dolawhitelady interview this week and I literally squealed out loud in delight for her.

I’m working tomorrow. My company is in the middle of a big re-org, and I was already too busy before that additional work dropped on my desk. If I take tomorrow off, I have to work on Sunday as well as Saturday. I promise not to complain if any of my women colleagues take the day off, though.

Yes, this. My uncle is this guy. Goddamn, I love him but he’s an asshole (in so many ways.)

I last saw her perform in March. Between songs she spoke about fighting cancer and losing her hair and how she was about to turn 60. Then she sang a song that brought the house all the way down (I think it was Shout it Out), kicked her shoes off and danced, brought young men on stage to dance with her. It was amazing.

Major “I voted” sticker photo op for her baby book.

Oh my god, thank you so much.

Me too, every single day.

I do not think they will ever break up, but if they did they would be that couple that is still friends and still care about each other but just fell out of love, and we still love you kids very much and we will do everything we can to make this divorce as painless as possible and you are the most important people in…

Also, men who ask for a hug. We’re not dating, we’re not friends (I hug my friends, if they’re huggers), and I know you just want to hug me so you can feel by boobs. Stop it.

Circus Peanut cake, Tang frosting. And it’s fondant, not buttercream.

How about DiscoWorld - great music, the men robots are excellent dancers, tons of synthetic, totally safe cocaine and Quaaludes, and anonymous sex & the worst you get is robot herp.

Nev-AAH-duh and Or-re-GON are my most hated mispronounciations on national new casts. Do you even go here (to the west coast)?

Plus, breakup beard.

To be fair (omg am I having to defend him? Gah, no!) but funding through an unemployment-type tax isn’t awful. I believe that’s how California funds their paid maternity leave. And it’s not terrible - not enough but not terrible. All of us should pay (or really our employers pay on our behalf) a tiny tax that funds a…

Yes, just having one guy who realizes that some doof is taking credit for your idea and says “yeah, Mayotonilla’s idea is great. Mayontonilla, can you expand on X. . .” would be a huge help for those of us who work in male-dominated teams.

So under both his and your theory, starting salaries would be equal between women and men in the same positions/levels, because employers don’t yet know the women’s sick-day-using habits.
