Took me two months to get an appointment with my gyn (who I love) for my well-woman visit this year. Took me FIVE months to see a dermatologist a few years ago. (I started laughing when the guy making the appointment told me that. He was like “I know, I’m sorry.”) 

I worked for an international company and about 2/3 of my team was in the UK, and we were mostly women in our 20s and 30s so there were a lot of pregnancies (at one point three women on the team were pregnant at the same time). You really feel the difference in health care when one of your coworkers is out for 12…

I read Bob Woodward’s book and it was clear that she was in no way interested in being First Lady - I mean, you can tell that by the way she does so little. “Be Best” is not a real thing. Also, remember that clip from the inauguration when the smile fell off her face the second 45 turned away from her? She hates her…

Biden said this himself in an interview. I remember watching it and thinking “Damn, health care is that fucked up that the damn VP of the United States is talking about mortgaging his house to pay for medical treatment for his son?”

My grandmother was from BK and her bed was king-sized (and my grandmother was petite) and she was damn near touching the ceiling when she was lying in it - you literally had to climb onto it. I think it was because she didn’t get a bed to herself until she got divorced. I liked to think she was so happy to finally…

I went to high school with someone like this. She lied to get attention and since we were in high school and our school was small, it was easy to debunk her lies. Like, I have met your mother, I know she is a nurse and not a concert pianist, the fuck are you doing?

[fans self] That turned me on.

Me too. I think the only time Denzel has been with a white woman on screen was in He Got Game, and that wasn’t really a relationship - her character was a sex worker. 

“Put that Valencia filter on, girl! We lit!”

I have watched this sketch like 600 times. “You queens wanna go to lunch after this?”

I keep thinking about how Matt Weiner, the show runner for Mad Men, said that 1966 was too “early” in the Civil Rights Movement as part of his defense for why it wasn’t a part of the show.

It’s been renewed (YAY) but I don’t know when it’ll be back on the air.

Oh yeah. Lots of stuff out there about diva-ish behavior, co-stars who didn’t like her, her snubbing reporters. She and Nick Nolte apparently hated each other when they worked together. She wore a shirt in public intended to trash her husband’s then-wife when his divorce took longer than she wanted. That’s not a kind…

I heard her say this on her Becoming tour and I think of it every day. She said something similar in an interview with Oprah. Oprah asked her something like “What was it like for you to get a seat at the table with all these smart, powerful people?” and she said “You realize pretty quickly that many of them aren’t…

Know her personally? No. I’ve never heard a kind word uttered about her, though. Do you mean she’d be insulted because she’d think it was beneath her?

And if this fuckery actually got to the actress, Meryl Streep would be like “Boy, what? She’s Black. What?” Julia Roberts might actually have gone for it AND been stank about it when she got called out. You think Scarlett Johansson’s “I should be able to play any tree I want!” was bad ...

Yeah! If you bring a kid to an office, worst case scenario is he gets bored or stuff gets filed wrong. If you have a kid working with or near hot grease, worst case is somebody dies.

Right. If he had gotten caught bringing his kid there because he couldn’t find or afford child care and just told him to ... I don’t know, sit in a corner and play a game or read a book, that would be one thing (and that would still be problematic). But to have the kid WORKING? Nah. dWintermute lays it out best. It’s…

It’s dangerous to have a little kid in a restaurant kitchen though. People get hurt in restaurant kitchens all the time. Hot grease, sharp objects, etc. I am all for kids helping out in their home kitchens (some of my fondest memories are in my family members’ kitchens; that’s how I learned to cook), but at least…

Yeah, she deserves the suit. She was loud and wrong and fucked this woman over.
