This is one of those situations therapists were made for.  You may decide to stay together, working on your marriage.  You may decide that you don’t want to stay together, and would like some help splitting up without becoming the worst version of yourselves.  If your wife doesn’t want to go, you can go alone.  You…

Yes, I left a campus over stalking by a male staffer and physical abuse by my chair. Many years later, I met a woman who had worked on the campus and had a story about the chair threatening her with a weapon. Fun times!

It’s the irritated but polite Aunty energy that really sells it. Her team is guiding her well, the merch is a natural progression and the memoirs should be next.

This... is not accurate.  Signed - someone working on one of the vaccines.

It seems most people don’t want to know that testing negative isn’t a magical ‘get out of quarantine free’ card. If you’re exposed, you gotta quarantine for 14 days from your last exposure, regardless of your results. You can still test positive later!

The my pillow link is wrong; it goes to the slate article on Tyson.

Imo this is the wrong question. It’s the same as asking if catcalling “works.” It does work, because the goal is not to get a date or impress a woman or have sex. The goal is to assert male dominance over public spaces, including workplaces. 

My wife has been in academia her entire career and has run an online certificate program for 15 years, so trust me when I say I know how this stuff works. The problem is not the instructors who only have so many hours in the day, it’s the universities looking for the least-cost approach to making the transition. And…

I dont know if I would call her awesome or even applaud her bravery. I find myself in the zone of “I will not drag you for what you have done because I acknowledge what you are doing and I want to give you a chance to keep up that work”. This is the bare minimum of making up for the harm that has been caused and while…

Good luck with that, and thanks for voting for Biden.

I trust a rushed vaccine about as much as I trust the Russian vaccine, and I’m super pro vax 

THIS. I also watched the hearings in real time. I honestly have no memory of Joe’s role but I will never forget the ugly questioning from Arlen Specter and others on the GOP, and the way Thomas called the hearing a “high tech lynching” thereby dividing the Black community and the community at large between the…

A true Xer wouldn’t use two whole words. We’d just slowly raise our IPA-holding hand skyward as we lie on our back on the diving board of the empty pool of the closed-for-the-off-season family holiday resort Motel complex on the edge of the desert, the one our uncle owns that we’re stranded at for the whole of term…

My 11 year old calls me a boomer all the time. I'm a Gen-Xer dammit.

You’re nicer than I, I would have told them “yep, they mentioned having a sore throat so now they’re waiting for the bus to the FEMA death camp.”

In my experience, the third type isn’t rich rich. I could always guess a person’s net worth by how they treated sales or wait staff. Medium rich and they were without exception raging don’t-you-know-who-I-am assholes. Very rich and they are almost always polite - maybe not kind or likeable, but not rude, either. And…

I spent the majority of my life living near a couple of the richest zip codes in the country. Rich people style comes in a few flavors:
