You fund the pension system by increasing revenue, such as raising taxes combined with employee contributions. Cutting the benefits for a drastically underpaid and underappreciated profession (who also happen to be women, no one ever discusses cutting cop, fireman or politician benefits) is not the way you balance…

Easy solution: Eliminate any identifying information from the application. They will instead have barcodes on them. Hiring managers will only be able to see information that is actually relevant to the job. Once they pick the most qualified applications, they scan the barcode into third-party software that sets up an…

Meanwhile, us South Asian people are out here in whatever old clothes feel most comfortable asking, “yes, what even is yoga anymore?”

Let’s not forget that they forced a young girl to have her very first kiss on camera despite her strong objections and her discomfort with it. So the news that they are dicks to other women wouldn’t exactly knock me down with a feather.

It’s a fucking embarrassment we have to conduct social experiments where the outcome has a significant chance of being “more dead kids”.

How is law enforcement going to establish the date of a person’s last period? That in itself gives me the heebie jeebies. Define “period” Spotting? Full flow for a day? a week? 15 weeks from the beginning of it? How do you know?

I’ve had this struggle with many men in my life, but none so worse as a former boss. If he didn’t think something was a problem, then by God it wasn’t. No matter if it literally made front page news. No matter if someone got publicly fired by a legislative body over it. No matter if his superiors were irate over his…

That statement feels entirely too familiar—I was in a class last night trying to explain white supremacy to a (white, natch) law student who thinks white supremacy doesn’t exist (because what about social class), and that we shouldn’t call white people racist lest we drive them into the arms of 45.

“I was just there to be there”

I think another big part of this — where we’ve tended to fail most egregiously — is the assumption that once individual battles have been won, the issues are settled. Abortion? Legal! Worker exploitation? Protected against (lol obviously not, but bear with me for the sake of argument)! Racism? Hey, we ended…

They have to keep cutting their taxes, or the coal mines will all move their operations to the Dallas or Houston suburbs.

Or raise your hand if you thought you were one of those mature girls when you were 15 and would flirt with your teacher and relish in the attention he gave you. But now looking back realize he should have shut that shit down.

Any time I think about forcing gender constructs on babbies, I think of this:

Works at place that actively and openly promotes racism and misogyny.

Obligatory.

Crazy that this is considered a big deal. That’s where we are today. If you haven’t read the article from the ER doctor that discussed the damage of an AR15 vs. a pistol wound, it is a must read. The muzzle velocity and ammo are designed for shredding internal organs so there is nothing left to repair. https://www…

It’s a weird world we live in where we are entirely reliant on the morality of companies. Net Neutrality? Up to the companies. Guns? Up to the companies. Fair wages for workers? Up to the companies....

That is the strongest statement that I have EVER seen a business put out, especially considering they are a sporting goods store which ties directly into the outdoors culture. This made me tear up. I’m sure they’ve run the numbers and realized just how devastating this statement could be, but they did it anyway. What…

My experience to OBs were a little different.
