Yeah. I think web is (or was anyway) separated out, (and I’m not sure they call it Creative Services) but I was on the print side (designer). SUPER organized and streamlined production process too. It was dreamy. Caveat being that it’s been about 8 years since I’ve freelanced there, but I have a friend who still…

I freelanced there over a number of years and I LOVED it. It’s pretty laid back, campus is beautiful and there is always someone to go be active with on breaks, etc. And the culture is very active/outdoorsy. The drawback is that it’s almost too laid back. The main reason I didn’t hire on full time was a lack of…

So. Much. Booze. In old movies! And not for nothing, plenty of women-centric, clever, feminist movies to boot. It’s what makes plucking this one song out from 75 years ago so frustrating.

Thank you. So much igoring of the times.

Not to mention that it was written for a movie and was subject to the Production Code. So much sexuality was read between the lines after about 1930. Context is really important here.

I love the song. I’m a huge old movie nerd so I feel like the context is more clear to me, and maybe people can not like it but understand that *for the time*, that was the message and that there was necessarily a lot of pussyfooting around Code.

Or they have never had musubi. That shit is tasty.

You will be a hit!

Maybe something from a fun memory you have with your brother? Like you had a favorite movie as kids, go as one of the characters, or a band member from a favorite band, something like that.

WOW.

It’s fantastic and I’d also recommend the noir ‘Odds Against Tomorrow,’ another Harry Belafonte movie that deals with race (among many other things) in the context of a bank heist gone south.

That is pretty much it exactly. I volunteer for PP (for Greater WA and N Idaho in fact) and from what I’ve been hearing the tack being taken is no response is the best response.

She also doesn’t seem to get that police-journalist relationships are very important, close and often adversarial ones.

Whoah, what? I actually do think that nurses WOULDN’T be having that kind of conversation over an unconsious patient. Jesus fuck...

So by that logic, if she were Black and they were calling her the n word, it doesn’t matter, becasue it was a private conversation, right?

The last quoted comment by one: “I don’t know why you have to be so hard on her” should clue you in as to why these aren’t benign appraisals of her physical appearance. For the same reason that you or I might feel shitty, humiliated and/or embarrassed by similar comments from dudes on the street, they are meant to…

Not necessarily true. I worked in a discount division of the high-end department store well known for their customer service, and we all had at least one customer a day who would demand that we wait on them as if they were in the full line store with plenty of commissioned sales people. I once had to be a ‘personal…

Amen. I have plenty of retail horror stories— I never worked in food service, but I have witnessed shitstain behavior in both and I have no fucking problem saying something to offenders. Sometimes is just takes some intensive side eye to shut someone up— one of our fave sushi places got kind of randomly hyped-up. It…

I’m sorry that he is damaging your children! Whatever happens, I think a lot of folks agonize over this and stay together for this reason because they think it’s damaging to their kids to break up, but trust that the hard work of pursuing better and more loving relationships speaks volumes over the fake ‘keeping it…

He went to the trouble of sighing deeply though. While he read!
