Reusable pads are a thing too. And sea sponge tampons that are reusable. Also period panties. There are options for people who can’t use cups for whatever reasons.

Please, do go on.

I work at a museum and our visitors aren’t even allowed to bring backpacks or large purses into the galleries. This is completely inappropriate. Not only that, but unauthorized tours are generally not allowed. Not to mention the fact that her appearance would absolutely be a distraction from curatorial vision and…

All things considered, if you’re going to be an a-hole, you might as well be fancy about it.

I worked as a docent at the Met for over 5 years. Here’s a few points:
- she showed up on a Saturday afternoon, one of the busiest times of the week. If she was there on a Monday at 10am there may not have been an issue.
- panniers and big big dresses aren’t a great choice as they could hit art or some other patron…

Entitled white person doesn’t get their way, throws a tantrum. What a shocker.

This just reminds me of the Halloween I got kicked out of the Assisted Living Center because dressing as the Grim Reaper was “inappropriate” and “wrong” and “27 is too old to go trick or treating”

I was thinking this might be a thing like how Disney bars people from dressing up in character at Disneyland and Disney World, because they don’t want tourists taking pictures with middle-aged size 14s in Cinderella costumes instead of with the 19-year-old size 0s they hire.

I don’t know her personally, but I run in the same circles as her. MOST people who dress up like this know that you should ALWAYS ask first because most museums and historical places (especially the big ones like the Met) are not cool with this sort of thing. So this gets a big eyeroll from me.

It’s harder if you’re a receptionist or administrative assistant because depending on how the company defines it, some of this stuff may be in your job description. But that doesn’t mean it all is. And people are terrible about respecting the difference.

Lightning in a bottle cannot be replicated. Even Marvel with their blockbuster assembly line did not see this coming. They predicted $97 million for a domestic opening weekend.

Evan,

Excellent article! Icon was a great addition on the animated Justice League Unlimited series as well, would love to see him get more screen time.

Not that hard to understand. As a kid, didn’t you ever break something your parents told you not to touch so you told them 3 black men raped and kidnapped you and knocked that Hummel figurine to the floor while they trying to make their escape.

I mean, we’ve all been there.

“I think Peoples Temple rose from a social/political environment that’s similar to what we’re facing now,” Wagner-Wilson told Fox News. “There’s a need. People want to be a part of something. They want to feel safe, they want to feel a sense of community … I want Jonestown to be a lesson … There are still folks out…

I struggled with being a woman who—people see you with makeup on and dressed nicely, people assume ‘she doesn’t work very hard, because she doesn’t have to’—[it] made being taken seriously a struggle.

Okoye is less like the GOP and more like the Secret Service (and Jamie Lannister), and to a lesser extent the various bureaucrats and functionaries who keep doing their job. Loyalty to the throne means loyalty to government functioning and doing all the large and small things that benefit everyone in small ways, and…

I think it’s the flip side of the same principle. Erik Killmonger is a villain not because he does or does not advocate violence. It’s a superhero film that climaxes with a fight involving armored rhinoceroses. Everybody in the film is, at minimum, not anti-violence.

Full disclaimer: I attended Xavier University for undergrad and NYU for grad school. I am glad that Miss Harris is feeling empowered via social media and whatnot, but I really need her to examine the much bigger picture in this 3D chess game. NYU is a magical, yet contradictory, place to learn, but Miss Harris is…

I’m sure there’s some rare occasion somewhere, but has this “special Black History Month meal” EVER really worked out? It seems that with the yearly reports of offended patrons, maybe restaurants/university kitchens/school lunch admins/etc. should just serve... I dunno, food. And if you must serve some special “Black…
