Off the top of my head I can think of many reasons to be unhappy in the workforce that do not involve me wanting to stay home and be domestic. Pay sucks, we're overworked and often don't get the credit we're due, and we're mostly unofficially barred from the positions where we really get to have a say in how our…
I had a crush on this boy from sixth grade onward. Past graduation. This boy at one point had a girlfriend in CHINA. Like, hugely long distant relationship. So one day we're texting and I asked him something along the lines of [if you and i were both single... do you think we'd ever date?] and is response, I shit you…
There was this line in the Big C where Laura Linney is talking to Gabourey Sibide (who is acting like a bitch) and says something the long lines of
When I was in high school, a girl in one of my classes was being sexually harassed. I witnessed it. We went to the school counselor's office to report it. That brain trust's response? "I want you to take a day to think about this. Because if you do report this, it'll go down in his record, and it could ruin his…
It really depresses me how someone like Lena Dunham is constantly reduced to her body and what she puts on it.
"My friend tries to score dates with really hot guys."
George Tiller was a great man who was killed by a bunch of cowards. His family still deserves - and is waiting for - an apology from these kinds of people.
I couldn't believe my mother last week. She's always been one to insist women be able to support themselves and never depend on anyone, but she still has incredible hang-ups. I was talking to my 14 year old niece about school, and when she said that she was bad at math I told her that one thing I've learned as an…
It's the lack of consent that's the turn on for these misogynists. Getting one up on those wimminz who would otherwise deny them access.
Men can let almost everything hang out...
Team Katniss. The guys are both kind of weird.
As a professional working in a chemical industry I know that I will get cancer someday. I understand the risks from working with toluene, nitrobenzene, carbon dust, silica, ect ect. What frustrates me is when someone says "such and such has been linked to cancer". I know that lots of things cause cancer but the key is…
You're kidding, right? If you have pet birds, do you let them fly in and out as you choose? What about gerbils, or snakes, or chinchillas, or just about every other pet known to humanity?
No. People leash them in their backyards.
But you have a responsibility to your community and its ecology too, not just to your cat.
Keep your little amoral killing machine inside. The local ecology belongs to the entire community, and you and your cat don't have the right to turn it into a songbird murderdome.
I love cats. I LOVE CATS. I love my INDOOR cat. My last two cats lived to 21 and 25. I love caring for my cat (feeding it, grooming it). I don't even mind cleaning the litter box every day.
There are lots of other reasons too: not annoying neighbours by having the cat shitting all over their yard, much less chance of catching serious illnesses, predation of wildlife. The best solution if you can manage it is to give them access to a smallish, closed-off outdoor space like a balcony, or to supervise some…
