Had a friend who was chronically incapable of arriving on time to anything, which was a problem for anything we tried to do together, which included taking care of children. Our mutual friends and I finally started lying to her that anything we needed to do started half an hour earlier. She started showing up right on…

Tell the kids this is Ultron and Iron Man and really blow their minds.

Judge to stupid, easily manipulated, domestic terrorist: "Go fuck yourself."

I first learned of this family last year. I wept like I’ve done every time I’ve read about them since then- today’s article included. I live in Philly and forwarded the info to my godmother down South. I’m so happy to know I can get a book. This story recalls a Harry Roseland painting which haunts me entitled, “To the…

It’s the culture. I moved from New England to Virginia and was astonished to discover that the Civil War, which I’d been taught had been over since 1865, was in fact still underway and the South would be winning any day now. I think it’s partly from the organization (Daughters of something or another, if I…

I mean, you can see some framed saints prints and my pole for dancing in my background because my apartment is so small and I don’t have an office space. We couldn’t use backgrounds or background effects until recently, so I’ve just outright refused to use my camera.

I ghosted my job (that I adored) a few weeks ago because the emotional abuse from my boss spiked so much during the last year. Before, I think I could bear it more, because we had outlets outside work. But the pandemic forced us into a place where the ONLY interactions we were having was with each other and it got so…

Just really weird. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone’s actual office. Everyone uses the virtual backgrounds - both in my company in in the other companies I deal with.

I moved to Dallas from MA. I’m confounded by how many middle-aged southern coworkers have their college flags and crosses as home office decor. I guess it’s a thing to be 50 years old and still REALLY into your Southern University and Jesus? Can any southerners explain this one to me? Maybe I’m just a jaded old New…

Just FYI that if you think you have a legal claim and are interested in pursuing it, quitting your job voluntarily will almost always mean you can’t pursue it.

I had an awful experience a few weeks ago involving a supervisor and am at a loss with what to do. I don’t know if it’s this bad yet but I’m so frustrated that I’ve considered quitting. 

My cousin just obtained a lawyer because of an extreme hostile work environment - she’s only dealing with her boss via phone and email. I know this isn’t an option for everyone, but ALWAYS check with a lawyer (intial contact is free) to see if you have a case. 

The informal setting makes people feel embolden to say whatever the fuck they want. My work has devolved into a hostile pit of resentment against our headquarters in DC. I’ve experienced far more microaggressions being disabled over telework than I have in office. I literally cannot wait for telework to be over so…

It’s a shame that people like this are seen as the face of the “skilled trades”. The skilled trades have a reputation for being hostile or exclusionary to women employees. Many women I know say they wouldn’t even apply for some of these jobs because “those are jobs for men”. This is unfortunate because many of these…

So, what these men will get out of this whole adventure will probably be:

Ontario has anti-SLAPP legislation and I’m sure Fritz would have moved to dismiss the lawsuit on those grounds alone.

I’m sad that it took a CBC article to kill this suit though. What if it went forward? I really hope Canadian courts would do the right thing here. Even just on a freedom of speech grounds.

I kept waiting for the part of the CBC article where a lawyer says “And this is batshit so will be thrown out immediately” but the real quote is chilling. “It’s too early to know what will happen but... Lawyers will be watching closely.” Wtf?

I’m wondering if the guys suing and their lawyers just want to make a chilling effect to prevent other people from criticizing them and/or criticizing sexual harassment? Because for being mad about the negative attention due to Fritz’s posts, they just put a lot more negative attention on themselves by suing. I don’t…

Manly construction men seem very fragile.
