Ugh, this. I grew up in the desert where the outdoors was trying to kill people on the regular. Also, I’m brown. I’m not going out into the woods for fun, are you crazy? I’m not trying to be the first one to die here.

Stay in the field and I guarantee you’ll find yourself working in an office where one of these lamps has lived since 1987!

Can confirm! That is indeed the Official Therapist Office Lamp™️. Usually comes in a set, because we’re broke and also terrible interior designers.

Huh. Rhode Island has a funky position of power/authority law that names specific professions not including teachers (health professional, or a minister, priest, rabbi or other member of a religious organization). Kids would likely be better served by a broader law that defines the category of position of…

Wow. This simultaneously makes perfect sense and no sense at all. (And thanks for being my Google. I just started watching the show and I thought I was supposed to know who these people are, but apparently not. That makes things easier.)

What was he doing before QE? Was he an actual chef or just a rando off the internet with opinions?

$100 for a dish rack? Great googly moogly!

Right? I was randomly wondering what happened to him the other day, but playing a cult leader on Riverdale is somehow exactly what I would’ve expected. Enjoy your renaissance while it lasts, CMM!

That’s a good point, but if I were in the industry I’d definitely want some more science on the table. Porn sex is stunt sex, and even civilian sex tends to cause internal injuries. There are more injuries involved with stunt sex and I’d want to be sure that more opportunities for infection don’t negate a negligible…

The irony is that they’re actually the people doing the Lord’s work. 

This is a large part of what the Satanic Temple is doing. They’ve filed some fantastic lawsuits and they’re definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.

This is a great breakdown! I think there’s a lot to be said for unifying the testing systems used by gay and straight performers, and definitely some sort of standard for European performers who want to work on American films and/or with American performers. I can’t imagine the money and manpower it takes to maintain…

They’re two separate things. You can buy a ticket on a Monday to fly on a Thursday. That’s what they’re talking about.

I hope things are getting better for you. 

Thanks for sharing that info; it’s a good point. It’s just a little scary to think that cops are in cop mode all the time and don’t stop to think about things from the civilian point of view. 

As with everything else, you have to be just the right kind of white.

The lack of color range is definitely going to be an issue. I’m a pretty light-skinned WOC, but pretty much all of Too Faced’s and half of Colourpop’s stuff is either too light for me or the undertone is way off. “Universal” really means “light-skinned white folks.”

Sure, but you were signing up to do that. Teachers do not sign up to be trained like police officers and confusing one for the other can set a pretty dangerous precedent.

What kind of bonkers shooting drill involves actually get shot? That’s what those inane run/hide/fight videos are for. 

It’s such a godawful system sometimes. I’m sorry your wife had such a hard time getting care. I hope y’all are hanging in there.
