Please stop sugarcoating prostitution, misogyny, exploitation, desperation, emotional manipulation, inequality, power/control issues, the twisted outcomes of capitalism gone wild, and lookism.

Do everything you can to keep your career on track, your network robust, your skills fresh, and the potential to earn an income rock steady. I made the mistake of trusting my ex, working part-time while being the primary caregiver, and he f***** me in the divorce. Seriously like homeless level. There are numerous…

“At least I think that’s what it said on Ask Jeeves.” - Cohen

Use of the phrase “playing the victim” is abusive in itself.

There once was a lady Lorena

Yep. And how they calculate scores needs to be 100% transparent and clearly outlined/defined!

Join them and say you’re from the Sacramento office.

Hard to know until you have the kids, though. We assume what people say or imply is what will happen.

Clubs love to charge you for nasty tapwater, which oddly becomes more and more expensive towards the end of the night, and peaks after last call. It’s another tip generator, so...

I really wish the word would be retired for good. I get that there is a desire to reclaim it, but it’s still a hot-button issue when it’s used, whether by a person of color or not.

You did the best you could at the time. It’s awful, but you need to forgive yourself. We all need to do our part - unfortunately life is filled with trauma. Technically, we are all complicit knowing children are starving around the world, refugees are living in dire conditions, and abuse is rampant all around us.…

This was an incredible show that showcased an embarrassment of riches including an arresting array of talent, inventive/innovative storytelling, multiple layers of meaning, and surreal, dark, as well as occasionally slapstick physical comedy. Maria Bamford is Winters-level genius; her range of characters, voices, and…

So...”work” will be required....like what the clown in chief and his minions do? Attending a few meetings between golf trips on gold-plated jets and taking months off at a time on the public dime?

This is proof that when entitled harassers are called out they couch their predatory behavior as being “flattering” to a female “worthy” of their attention. Then they further muddy the waters by convincing the females they mistreat that standing up against their behavior is only engaged by women “unworthy” of their…

Is it better to have loved and lost or never been loved at all?

Restaurant: please offer a small and large plate of every dish available to any customer. Several problems solved.
