I would also argue that it should be financially feasible to have two working parents - parents are adult humans who find value in their work, and often contribute positively to the world through their careers. Ideally we’d have something in place that would allow folks to choose one working/one SAHparent, or two…

Vote by mail is the best. I live in Oregon and we only have vote by mail. I have never been to a polling place and have voted in every election since 2000. But then again if voting was easy, the GOP might not get the results they want.

work isn’t about the number of hours you put in but the productivity you have. “face time” is not really a thing anymore....at least at most of the places i’ve worked at in the past 10 years. so yes, while folks WFH might need to put in extra time, i hope you’re not implying that they need to sit on slack or skype for…

As someone trying to rebuild a career after 8 years, do whatever you can to make it work. My industry (marketing) changed due to social media, which, coupled with losing my network in an interstate move, means I’m starting from scratch. I basically never recommend being a SAHM, especially if you enjoy your job/career.…

The democrats had kilometers miles and kilometers miles of ideas before the election. Nobody paid attention because emails.

Increased federal support for child and family care has been in the Dem party platform since 2006 and Dems have introduced bills on it every year since 1996. Fun fact: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton introduced several, such as one that provided pre-k for low-income children, one that supported child care worker…

It depends on the job. I worked from home from the birth of my daughter until she was nearly two. My job involved mostly online communication but I did take the occasional phone call — one time, admittedly, carrying on a serious and professional conversation while attempting to elude and then distract my…

I take it he’s never seen this...

i just think this all can be solved with a little understanding. a kid makes some noise while you’re on a business call......does that doom the call? will someone choose not to do business with you because your kid started crying the 10 seconds you weren’t on mute? it’s a culture issue and ours needs to change…

all i’m saying is that it would be nice if companies offered it instead of not even having any WFH policy at all.

I don’t think she’s the creator of the second show. Rafael Agustin is behind that one and he was undocumented, so I think he used the word illegal on purpose.

What! You don’t see the resemblance?

UK Update:

Nah, I think EVERYONE is at least kind of racist. White people definitely. We just have to combat it. Everyday. I’m a white woman, I do my best to ally with minorities, listen to them and teach my fellow white friends and family about their struggles, but I still have a subconscious steeped in society, the…

UPDATE: They were able to make it out this evening and are en route to San Antonio for a flight to Delaware

Just minutes ago got verification that they were able to get past all the obstacles (flooded in neighborhood, flooded in town, then all the closed roads) and are on their way to San Antonio for their flight to Delaware. I am so relieved!

Ahem, it’s not a font. It’s a typeface. Or at least I’m sure that’s how it’d be referenced in The New Yorker.

I am here for the Diamonds in Uranus jokes.

To identify El Cerrito for readers who are unfamiliar - it borders Albany which borders Berkeley so smack dab where you’d expect a camp like this and where nearby residents (including this one) cheer for camps of inclusion like this. My kids are so matter of fact about transgender classmates - I wonder how’d they…
