My friend Susan was competing from a promotion. She 's the cutest, littlest, blondest thing. She's also brilliant and hyper-competitive. Her dumbass boss actually told her that he gave the job to the man "because he needs it more, because he has a family to support." (Susan is a divorced mom, not receiving child…
I had the morning after pill 4 times in the UK between 17 and 21, and you know how I did it every single time?
Walked into pharmacy
Larry David has to have a hand in this somehow.
This reminds me of the times Jezebel posts an article about some new horrifying item on a fast food menu (i.e., birthday cake cheeseburger, bacon-wrapped twinkie... etc) along with a big, disgusting close-up photo of it. The article and comments discuss what an abomination it is, while I silently stare at it and know…
I used to be a size 26/28 when I was in high school. I was big all through elementary and middle school too. I'm 28 and recently went to my high school reunion (Against my will, my three girlfriends forced me to go, but I ultimately ended up having a good time. Weird haha.) I'm now a size 6/8. Most people at my…
Living well is the best revenge....
Well, I guess the easiest route would be for all Hispanic people to change their last name to Smith or Anderson, then? Because your boss was a racist, people should just cede their identities, rather than remaining who they are and working to change the system?
So we're back in a U.S. where the names of people of color can be arbitrarily changed by white folk in power. Let's party like it's 1799!
I kind of understand it in certain situations, and I'm not exactly the doyenne of etiquette or anything NEAR wealthy. This month in my daughter's class there were seven birthdays, all of which had the entire class invited, and they all needed scheduling. If there was a specific day a family needed (out of town dad in…
When I was seven or eight, I was really into wolves, in the way that kids are obsessed with one really specific thing and then spend all of their time thinking about it. (Beforehand I had been very into space exploration and had a notebook dedicated to cataloging facts from every mission in the Mercury and Apollo…
I want to share an anecdote. I'm not really making any kind of statement by it, I just feel like sharing. As a white person whose parents didn't fly to the suburbs, who attended public schools where white was the minority, I feel like I should share my personal experience. Because I don't have any black friends.
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
At my old job we would get some snacks and stuff in the break room that we had too much of [I worked at Target] and one night we had the candy corn Oreos. The shame I felt at being the only one at my table eating and enjoying them was excruciating.
Well, part of the problem with identifying after-the-fact like this is that there's actually no PROOF of source of outbreak; 85% of the people who are sick think they ate the salad in the right time frame. But because the salad mixes, if they were purchased at all, have all been thrown out by now, it's pretty much…
Under our Constitution, it's when they buy a gun and can eat a 6 pound burger in one sitting.
You can actually see the moment he realizes that the whole world is out to get him. I can't stop watching it.
More like super villens, AMIRITE?
This is how super villains are created.
