Ooooooph, I HATE this hemline. It's not flattering on anyone, even Rihanna. Sorry RihRih, you done goofed here.

I get the geography part, but I thought serving concurrent sentences means that you serve your six years for this and your 8 years for that at the same time, as in, you only serve 8 years, not 14. Do I have this all backwards?

WOW. Just f*cking wow.

The book was filled with jokes about rape, lynching, and racial slurs. According to local news station WRAL, the frat members also signed their names.

It's like when people were mad Rue was black in the first Hunger Games movie...despite the fact that she is described in the book as coming from a farm district that's predominantly black.

"Forgive me and truly understand that I am in no way shape or form a sexist and I am a huge fan of Mo'ne. She was quite an inspiration."

A couple years ago, in college, I spoke to a counselor about maybe changing my major to architecture. My grades were excellent, and I had As and Bs in every math course I had taken, even some that were actually over my head because I had taken them without the prerequisite. Her response was along the lines of, "do you…

Also, this.

OShut up Dee, you look like a bird!

As someone who regularly gets evaluated by students, it is DEFINITELY a thing. Sorry anonymous student, but "doesn't wear enough makeup" is not an actual evaluation.

Thanks. That abusive relationship began with negging, gaslighting and lots of coercion. Really wish I'd seen what was happening before it escalated, but I didn't.

Are you serious? I am a woman and she certainly is not embarrassing me. She couldn't have been more dead on.

There is a particular silence that happens. It's happened to me and I've seen it with other women and even with lower-status men—the new guy, the supplier rep, the guy who has social interaction problems. We make a point, and there is silence for about 4 seconds. People look mildly annoyed or confused. Then someone…

My therapist told me that "stop crying" is one of the most cruel and borderline abusive* ways to handle a person who is upset, exactly for that reason. Feelings are always true no matter what and to suppress or interrupt them is very harmful. You can be upset for a stupid reason, but you're still upset and that's just…

Literally no one believes that is true.

so you were just joking and everyone overreacted?

With the first guy, it seemed to physically pain him too. I chalked it up to academic ego - we would talk a lot about music, which I love and is actually his professional field. (Not just as a musician - theory too.) I thought maybe it bothered him to be shown up by a layperson? I mostly tried to drop it too, but…

I worked at a Fortune 1000 company brought in to turn a specific department around . And temporarily it did work, but because the company wasn't training the new hires properly and quick to fire people , I had to show them with cold hard math how if the turnover rate is 60-70% then we couldn't increase the sales…

Ha, ha ha, haaaa. Try being a female scientist half way to a Ph.D in plant genetics, trapped in a conversation about GMOs at a party with some white guy with dreads. The layers of insult and irony in this scenario, which is somehow a fixture of my life....
