Thank you for highlighting this! I donated 2 nearly-new carriers to Carry the Future when my son got too big for them. It’s not much, but I have to believe that every little bit counts.

Can we send the Dems some pizza and pop for their all-nighter? (I’m from the Midwest so it’s “pop” godd@mn it.) How do I make this happen?

It’s archaic - not surprising as the books were written in the 1940's and 50's. On the flip side, by the end of Season 2 of this tv series, Ross has clearly rejected it/her so...yay?

True. Elizabeth was raised to be in, and then accepted that role. She tried to break out, but was not allowed to do so. In contrast, no one expects much out of Demelza so she’s allowed to be as hard working and boot-strappy as she pleases.

“Elizabeth, a woman who seems incapable of doing anything other than brushing her hair.”

Unless you are one of the few who ovulates during their period. (It happens!)

We’re really...not. The number of op-eds and think pieces in the local press have been virtually zero in the last few weeks. No no I speak to - coworkers, friends, family - no one on public transit - NO ONE cares. we’re too busy killing each other, getting mad about the huge tax hike, fretting over the public school…

Oh my gosh YES. I have even tried to encourage the organizers of our local Meet Up parenting group to add in weekend playdates and they are all like “that’s great, but no”. It takes some work, but it might be worth setting up and administering a Meet Up specifically for working parents in your area. I’ve had some…

I’m so sorry to hear that you left the field of theater because of this kind of shitty behavior and that you are now dealing with some residuals. I hope your healing can continue and that you’ve found another, more positive, artistic outlet, if of interest.

For anyone who might be interested, here’s the group that’s been created to combat the type of physical, mental, and sexual abuse that’s been going around in the Chicago theater community. It’s mentioned in the original article. If you are Chicago-based (artist or not) there are some excellent resources listed. http://…

Yep. You get it.

Whoa. Better check back in with that therapist! I’m out.

I fail to see what that has to do with anything.

I’m concerned about the amount of self-absorbed language in your post - it’s all about you and what a great outcome it was for you in the end to suffer this kind of abuse. The larger discussion at hand is about how this effects ALL of us in the community (and I am part of the Chicago theater community specifically).…

Wait, so not even abs in indoor scenes, like, pre or post sex? This is unconscionable, I say! Unconscionable!

They are on both accounts. The big downside is that they are naturally nocturnal, so it’s best to be home at night if you want to enjoy them. They also like eating bugs, which could be a positive or a negative depending on how tolerant you are of dead (or living) crickets.

Yes, but how much of what you’re renting is really quality wear and not just expensive because of the label? Many high end designers have their clothes manufactured in China, India and other countries with no guarantee that the quality is any better than what’s available at Old Navy.

Broadway is traditionally “dark” on Mondays (i.e. no performances) - that’s why the cast can perform at the White House today. I’m sure all or most will be back in NYC by Tuesday night!

Well, Tim Hunt - the women are the ones always falling in love in the lab and causing trouble? Shows what you know.

I am pleased to see that Will and Kate are included in this photo. It really drives me nuts when I receive Christmas cards with just the kids in it. Like...YOU EXIST TOO, PARENTS!
