What do you think the rope was tied to?

Have you heard of eShakti though? It’s a website with a ton of different dress styles, many in cotton. The game-changer is the fact that you can add sleeves to almost any dress, and can choose necklines and skirt lengths (yup, even ankle or floor length!) You can also pay a small customization fee and have the dress…

At least in the last Gilded Age, they knew how to build them well enough that they could be turned into public art museums after the rich folks died.

One thing that always strikes me is when they put a token old lady in a campaign (she’s always white, usually wearing huge bugeye glasses). They’ll have a bunch of teens and twentysomethings, and drop in one lady in her 70s or 80s.

This story brings up a happy memory for me.

Yes, exactly. I have lived in the DC area for my entire life and have been doing publicity work for a nonprofit here for a decade. If it regularly covered people who actually do substantive good works, I would know about this magazine. Yet I had not even heard of it till now because it is so narrowly distributed.

Ohh, thanks for the explanation! I’m over here wondering what the heck is this Washington Life magazine since I’ve lived in the DC area my whole life and never heard of it. But I’m on the other side of town, so that explains that.

Yup - I get my work jeans at Kmart

Having been friends with boys who behaved like stalkers when I was younger, I think that the explanation you give for Wade’s behavior would describe many young stalkers. The boys I knew who behaved that way were all pretty awkward and not good with social interactions, and had crippling anxiety and self-esteem issues…

The people who are most likely to be hurt by this movement are not part of the story?

Well, we had at least two women (Deborah Sampson and Anna Maria Lane) who bound their breasts and fought as men in the Revolutionary War - so folks who don’t fit into neat gender categories have been in our military from the beginning.

Wait, you’re 28 and making $90K? I’m a decade older and pretty jealous of YOU :)

Lol

Thanks, appreciate it! I like having one :)

Hey, it’s not cool to use vagina as an insult, friend.

Oh, honey. Who did what to make you so angry at strangers? I would give you a big hug if I could

Ah but there is a risk in asking... if you are a woman, at least. http://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/lean-out-the-dangers-for-women-who-negotiate

You guys!!! I get to work in a salvage place almost as cool as this.

Thanks!

YES THIS!
