I’ve been saying this for years: Fuck fans. You don’t own shit, you didn’t do shit, you’re just a customer. You don’t like the product anymore, go shop somewhere else. You’re not entitled to a goddamn thing.

CPS is set up to fail but don’t blame that on individual workers who DO care and have MANY sleepless nights working all night or worrying about kids on their case load.

Bullshit.

I think that is really good point. I have a lot of mixed feelings on this, as a case worker myself. But the area I work in is bad, not as BAD as the system these stories are coming from. I just feel like we have this (rightfully so!) zero tolerance policy of violence towards anyone else.... except children, for some…

If we’re throwing all context out the window, well then removing a child from the only home and parents they’ve ever known is also a crime, called “kidnapping.” But how about we acknowledge the complexities of real life that the woman in fact acknowledges in her story, that all at the same time there exist some…

Lisa Eldridge reminds me a lot of Kevyn Aucoin in how she is very positive and encouraging when it comes to makeup. If you don’t know her, you should check out her site and videos.

As a foreigner, I find this fascinating. Plus the focus on college sports. In Canada, few people give a rat’s behind about their university’s sports teams, but I see posts on Facebook from American friends who are still all about U of Whatever’s football team 20 years after they’ve graduated.

While I agree with Dany dying (the reason the books seem to have slowed down is Martin doesn’t know how to deal how big she’s gotten) I doubt it’ll be a Night King peace or the like because there simply isn’t enough time left for that size a plotline.

There’s always one... If that black woman proved over and over again that she couldn’t rap, it’s entirely possible they would have told her to pursue a career in pop. Not to mention the fact that if that black Australian woman tried to launch a country music career by appropriating Southern culture, she would face a…

...Man, I think I’m going to keep coming back to this piece all day, thinking about it more. Upon reflection, this bit is really sticking with me:

I’ve had the opportunity to sporadically read Devin Faraci’s articles over many years, starting from before I knew his reputation or even recognized his name, to the point of him leaving BMD. Over the years one could see in his writing the journey he was already taking from the person who could have done what he was…

I don’t know enough about his case but it seems like he has been punished for his actions, made material and concrete steps to rehabilitation and has apologized. Isnt that the goal of a society for restorative justice ? Is he supposed to never work again?

I have no idea who this dude is but from reading this story, the guy was accused, didn’t deny it, apologised, stepped down, went to rehab, and has now been allowed back in a very reduced capacity as a copywriter, not in a leadership position, and won’t be at the festival. It sounds like he’ll have to work his way back…

Reality check: It’s not “using him” when he is the dad. He can get up five times a night and again, it’s not using him, because he is the dad. Dads have to parent, too, and they can get up five times a night with the baby to help with feedings and changing and stuff, and dads often shirk this duty because they can,…

A few comments:

It’s not revenge to have the father of your child help with the difficult first year. Some progressives might even say he should be doing that anyway.

Use him? Isn’t he just taking care of HIS kid?

Do you live in LA?

Also some designers have been using this “0 to 4" sizing range as of late. Maybe to be different, maybe to avoid the topic of the sizes they don’t offer. But James Perse does 0 to 4, Jun Takahashi/Undercover does 1 to 4.

I came to rant but you said it. I wanna see these moaners try and drape silk georgette on a 24.
