When I was 22 or 23 I was in the midst of earning my keep as one of the highest-selling specialist at my local Apple Store, and also stepping into more leadership/mentoring roles for our gigantic sales staff. I’m short, cute, intelligent and very well spoken, quick with a joke and someone who feels very comfortable in…

This story is really, really upsetting. I am so sorry you experienced that unnecessary harassment. Most of all, I’m sorry he stole your dignity, even if just for that day. No one deserves that, especially someone who is just trying to do her job.

She handle that way better than I ever could have. I would have gone the Cara Delevingne route and they would’ve told me to come back after a nap when I was in a better mood. Natch, I’m not an adorable pop star but a feminist media critique. She stepped the fuck up on this. Applause emoji. Those dudes sucked.

I’ll be on my WORST BEHAVIOR.

I don’t wanna fight you, but I will fight you.

nope. nope. nope. nope. you are wrong.

I read the headline as AMBER ALERT lolz. It still kinda fits.

This almost made me burst into tears. This has mommy/daddy issues spewing from all sides. No wonder my mom is fucked up; she has a fraternal twin brother, aka “Baby Jesus” among the relatives. Love your kids equally. Don’t privilege them. And dear Lord, especially don’t wager your child’s future fate based on their…

That BSB documentary was shockingly good. It was really moving for me, as a kid who grew up adoring them. It was so, so, so well done. I wanna watch it again (I’ve seen it twice). The Perlman house scene was intense. All of Nick’s scenes were intense.

you can still be creative and actually help people and save lives! also, you picked a career that is relevant in any place or period of time. so good for you!!! good luck with the work, I’m sure it’s really tough.

I’m getting my masters in media studies, basically cross-disciplinary in design/communication/production/theory. my background is in filmmaking. and i am currently chipping away at oodles of graphic design shit and design interaction theory because i thought gee i should push myself to learn something new and now i’m…

27, terrified about my choice to go to grad school, but still pretty sure I made the right choice or else I’d be stuck back in my hometown working at a retail store. I’m on year two, hating the stupid work but kinda grateful I exposed myself to my desired industry and so far not a total fuck up.

I haven’t commented here in SO LONG. Welcome me back, guys!!

You don’t have to like me, but YOU WILL RESPECT ME. Quoth my mom, on many occasions. Hi fellow Bosslady!

Take any comfort in anything, anything you can (that isn’t harmful).

I got my dad’s storytelling ability. We spin a mean yarn, same mannerisms and pacing, same flair for the dramatic, same wit. It’s really annoying. My mom calls me “little Arthur” (my dad’s name is Arthur). We’re both writers, so I inherited that from him too. His two brothers are also writers.

PS: I’m telling you this as a 27 year old full time grad student who is locked in her bedroom pretending to do homework (I really should be though, damn it) while my roomies are singing loudly, setting off the fire alarm while cooking salmon and blasting Italian pop music. I told them I was not going out tonight, love…

Hi, I’m a Gemini (it matters) and I am a total social butterfly/anxious introvert. I lived alone once, it was glorious. I have lived with roommates a lot, and it has challenges. I’ve come out of my bedroom at 4am and told people to PLEASE SERIOUSLY BE QUIET THANKS more times than I’d have liked.

So far I had two heads worth of broccoli florets, raw, dipped in full fat Hidden Valley ranch. I plan on running across the street to my bodega to buy a giant bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and eat the whole thing while avoiding doing homework.
