Oh man. I’ve been waiting all year for this, because I finally have a truly scary story to contribute. It is 100% true, and I still nearly break down in tears thinking about it.

Lancome has a new brow fill thing that has fiber stuff in it to make them look fuller, AND claims waterproofness and 20-hour wear. AND it looks like it comes in actual black, not just dark brown! I’ma smear some on the back of my hand next time I’m in Dillards (or hell, on my actual brows — it’s just Dillards, who…

Did anyone else’s mind go “30 year age difference and instant bond? Probably GSA and she’s actually his birth mother”

No? Just me?

...i’ll see myself out...

Grunting and Flushing was Hank Moody’s less popular follow-up book.

Well equating disability and religion, was purely on a legal basis. I see now that it was inartful. But in discrimination law, both disability and religion are things that require accomodations to be explored. So I meant it mostly in that sense.

Sounds like the airline went out of their way to accommodate this woman, until it became an issue for her coworkers. They clearly did not find it reasonable to be expected to constantly pick up the slack for this woman.

Yes, colleagues complaining about someone is a pretty good sign that morale is slipping.

Refusing to do your job is being an asshole. If you don’t like a fundamental aspect of your job, pick another job. If you’re a vegetarian who refuses to serve meat, don’t work in MacDonald’s. If you’re a pacifist, don’t join the army. If you don’t want to serve alcohol, don’t become a flight attendant. None of that is…

You don’t get it. Customers buying drinks makes the airlines money. If the customers can’t buy drinks, the airlines makes less money. The airlines pay the flight attendants to help provide a service that nets the airlines money. If an arline makes less money because of a flight attendant’s refusal to perform the…

It’s not about harm or safety, it’s about my right as a customer to request a service that is offered as part of the entire package. Whether I take advantage of alcohol or not is up to me so long as I meet the legal requirements for requesting it

It goes on to say:

It’s a part of a flight attendant’s job and if I’m on a flight that serves alcohol but I can’t get it because my flight attendant happens to be a fundie who thinks she should be entitled to impose her beliefs on others, that’s a problem. It doesn’t matter whether or not it affects your health. And it makes everyone’s…

Part of a flight attendant’s job is to serve alcohol. You should be able to carry out all your job requirements, unless you are physically incapable. She’s not physically incapable, she’s spiritually incapable. Therefore she doesn’t belong on a plane where most passengers are going to want to have alcohol. What if…

I’m not ok with it. If I’m on a plane and have to wait half an hour for the non-fundie FA on the other end of the plane to serve me my drink because the one serving me can’t give me booze because of her beliefs, that’s affecting me and affecting the quality of the service. So no, I’m not ok with this lady. If you’re…

I don’t know. I may pitch a fit too if I’m the second flight attendant on a packed flight and I all of a sudden have to start doing my job plus filling drink orders for the other attendant because they converted to Islam (and kept serving for a year) and just found out they can’t serve alcohol. That seems like you’re…

1. There is no such thing as flying without alcohol.

In one sense, I agree that the situations aren’t comparable. Davis refuses to act as the state performing a function of the state, when in reality the state itself does not have a freedom to religion. She has that job, she needs to do that job, full stop, or remove herself from the position of being a representative…

Fuck these religious assholes who think they’re entitled to a job, fuck them. Go find “work” in your religious institutions, not in jobs serving the public.

It is in the Warship Worship Wednesday program, right between Michael Rowed The Boat To The Middle Of The Lake With Some Concrete And Rope and Nearer My Tire Iron To Thee.

I’ll join, but only if one of the hymns is It’s My Party and I’ll Cull If I Want To.
