My employer subsidizes 75% of the cost for emergency child or elder care. It’s a tiny blurb on our HR website and yet, when I’ve told three employees about it this week they told me that I saved their jobs. Being a caretaker is financially, physically, and emotionally taxing. Hope to see more employers take Best…

I didn’t want to laugh at this, but laugh I did. Take your star, sir. 

Thanks for your response. I was referring to your expression and not identity (not that I’d make presumptions about either) but perhaps non-binary was still not the correct language. I continue to wish you the best and thank you for sharing your experience.

Much of what is said in the family stays in the family, but we can’t allow the festering homophobia, misogynoir, bigoted, dangerous behavior and ideas of some of our sisters and brothers to continue behind closed doors.

Love JVN and love this podcast. I’m not a huge fan of how he sometimes talks over guests but his genuine enthusiasm, interest, and passion is winsome. I highly recommend the episodes on Parental Alienation Syndrome and the interview with Dave Holmes (who’s a longtime hairstyling client of JVN’s!)

People whose Mama’s don’t cook with salt and pepper.

For a moment I thought Steve was Jon Groff and I got so so angry. 

I will never forgive NY State voters for depriving us of having First Spouse Rojo Caliente. 

Target will price match Amazon in-store and if you have the RED card you still get the extra 5% on top of the match.

Her eldest son Quincy is with Al B. Sure. I don’t think Diddy adopted him but they were /are close. You might be thinking of Diddy’s oldest son Justin, who was not by Kim. 

While Jitney is most common in Jersey, some Latinx enclaves will refer to the Immi (A brand, a la Kleenex) or the Papi Bus (e.g. “Ay Papi, la proxima!”). 

If you’re not in a rush, my city lets you submit curb cut blockers via app. It’s some peak gentrification shit, but I’ve been called Oreo a time or two so hell if I didn’t use it to my advantage. In my last neighborhood the local handyman/busybody tried to flex on me by parking in front of my driveway despite multiple…

Surprised Downeast Cider didn’t make the cut to test, most of my local pubs and beer gardens keep it on draft.

Had the pleasure of seeing Tamron Hall at the Paley Center on Tuesday as part of the ID Channel panel. She is as pleasant and engaging in person as she appears on TV and instagram. The ID Channel bigwigs were there and have seemingly given her carte blanche to do as she pleases with her show. And ABC has picked up her…

Holy shit, I did not know about the Steely Dan / Peter Gunz. Now I’m in a whosampled.com black hole and no work will get done today. 

Mrs. Kloss-Kushner looks lovely but I really need whoever is handling her social media to lay off the “Details” slider in their photo editing app of choice. The hard angles of the veil and shadows on her face make this look like a photoshop / green screen situation.

Glad I’m not the only one who recognized exactly where they are. I’m irrationally annoyed that he hashtagged #centralpark when he’s 50+ blocks south.

Learning Disabilities are accommodated but the biggest challenges are:
1. Many people with LD have not been diagnosed, especially those over 40 who were almost through school when the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was passed.
2. Culturally, there are stigmas around being labeled as “disabled” or…

If I might give a small plug, October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. I’m putting together a campaign to coach HR professionals and hiring managers about how to recruit and hire persons with disabilities, but so many of the questions are around physical needs and barrier removal.
Education about…

I loved this movie, and appreciated that it works on many layers - as a comedy, as sci-fi, as political and societal commentary. My ex said he didn’t like it and “didn’t get it”. Perhaps related, he’s now my ex.
