Let's be clear about happened: this was a cover letter written by someone seeking an entry-level position who appears to have sincerely wanted to help people. We have no indication that any abuse survivors knew about or were harmed in the process-except perhaps those who read about it here. You're obviously having a…

I would too! Unless you're trying to hire for a job that requires a very specific skill-set, it's much more valuable to find someone with the qualities you want rather than the work history. You can't teach work-ethic, compassion and relationship management skills, though as you said, you can learn the processes on…

Sorry, I just can't get outraged about this. Go right ahead though.

I think the writer was a little tone deaf, but if I were trying to break into a field where I didn't have an obvious applicable work-history, I'd be trying to tease out these points as well.

You know that lactation porn is a huge thing, right? Chances are, these dudes are not just buying it because of its healing properties.

I had great parents and I think most of us who are relatively mature and empathetic can understand where you are coming from. I have a few friends who haven't spoken to their parents in upwards of 10 years because of abuse issues and it's not a struggle for me to understand why. My psych 101 suspicion is that…

I'm sorry, but I've lived in New Haven and these days I live in NYC. The first time I tried New Haven style apizza, I couldn't even figure out what it was supposed to be. They often charge you extra for mozzarella cheese. Let me just say that again: THEY CHARGE YOU EXTRA FOR CHEESE, which is like 1/3 of a…

I have had a girl crush on Lisa Wilkinsen since I visiting Sydney a few months ago. She is just so funny, bold and smart and this review I'm sure so much more honest than what we will get in the States, as news shows have become long commercials.

Seriously. Food is so cheap here compared to many places (including northern Europe). Between exchange rates and our generally lower prices, it is a hugely selfish and petty thing to do. C.A. Pinkham, I know you can't mess with this person's food, but how about their posting rights? :) Not that I would ever…

Me too. It's not optional in my view. If you can't afford the meal with a 20% tip added on, you go somewhere with more modest pricing.

I am sure this won't get the same level of media coverage as crazy 'Princeton Mom' but I am so happy that these folks have spoken out. We need more of this kind of awesomeness. In other words, thanks Princeton alumni!

That is fascinating. And very dark indeed.

I'm totally with you. I have a few fossilized Megladon teeth and I like to think there are a few out there in the ocean somewhere (I am a weirdo).

My sister got me the Crane's for Christmas. Such a great present!

It's not vintage. It's all from Verameat, a designer with stores in the East Village and Williamsburg: http://www.verameat.com/

This is the most amazing thing I've ever read. Thank you.

What strikes me in particular is that those on the floor must have been staring directly into the crotchular area.

Miss Fischer's Murder Mysteries is one of my favorites as well! The first season is better than the second, but her outfits never fail. I also love that Miss Fischer is a mature woman and the pleasure she takes in her own sexuality is seen as a feature, not a vice.

By this I meant that in order to thrive, women also need to let go of patriarchal normative standards. By keeping men in binary boxes, so too we keep ourselves. In other words, though you may have preferred to express it differently, we are generally on the same page.

Our family home was burgled and the thief got away with all my mom's jewelry, including her engagement ring. We're from NJ and in a bit of Jersey style justice, the police called to say that though they couldn't recover her jewelry, my mom should take a ring recovered from the thief that no one had claimed. She…
