Nope! In fact it say it in the name itself: the CEO is the Chief Executive Officer and is thus considered an officer of a company and not an employee. In fact, they are taxed rather differently, so the IRS provides justification within our legal/governmental system that officers and employees are fundamentally…

Ah, but this series of tweets references a case that provides an interesting angle on the above code you cited. Hmmm!

That’s definitely the standard (and sane) interpretation of what makes an employee. I’m not saying I believe Trump is definitely not an employee of the Executive Branch and thus shouldn’t be subject to the rules governing those employees. What I am saying is that whether the role of President is *technically* an…

NOW, Sanders? By all rights she should be fucked. But given the rate of things she’ll likely be just fine. :/

Alas, the President can make the claim that as the head of the Executive Branch he’s not actually an employee of said branch. This same take is how his lawyers are arguing his right to hire Jared (employees can’t hire family members but Trump as the head of the EB isn’t an employee and thus isn’t subject to that…

Thank god you beat me to it with this response. The above article and subsequent responses are a bit of bulshit, especially given how interesting the actual folks involved were.

Nashvile tailor?!? Nuta Kotlyarenko was a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant who set up shop in North Hollywood/Burbank and whose work was continued on by his Mexican-born and also an immigrant protege Manuel Cuevas.

Aw! Thanks so much :)

My slow-as-hell, very much a WIP giant embroidery hoop! I’ll be glad as fuck when this thing is done. (but also kind of loving working on it)

I just started my first BIG piece - about 14 inches across. It’s gonna be slooowww going.

What an amazing project! I’m going to have to look that one up. And welcome to the stitching club! I like to think of it as very slow and meditative coloring. Just nice to sit quietly for a while :)

Oh! I’m late to the party but above is some new stitching I’m working on and one I just finished. How did you get into cross stitching? Those hedgehogs are so cute!

I’m so sorry you had to go through that and are still going through it in dealing with the damage done. I know how rough it can feel not only having been through the trenches but being left with the daily reminders of the experience and am glad you’re in a better state!

Oh gosh, was it a Lifetime movie about a gymnast?? Or ice skater?? I just remember, as a young teenager, seeing the main ED character use ice as a meal replacement and fucked up Lil’ Dot thought that just sounded like a swell way to starve.

I also just realized that while I meant thin-ass hair, as in one’s hair becomes very thin, I accidentally seem to have typed that the hair on one’s ass becomes thin and should be shown. WHOOPS.

Watching this again I just gotta say: I am sick of representing those with extreme eating disorders with great skin and hair. Lily Collins has THICK lovely hair. You want to represent someone with an eating disorder without accidentally glamorizing it and falling into some pro-ana nonsense? Show the thin ass hair…

And then, on top of that, the impact of a heightened access to eating disorder imagery potentially serving as catalyst or inspiration for those already with unhealthy relationships to their bodies/body image/eating. Just makes me think of: http://www.theonion.com/article/actress-excited-to-land-eating-disorder-ad-1610

Yeah, it’s pretty unsettling stuff. I’m still figuring out my thoughts on the whole Comey thing (other than AHHHHHHHH!) but what I keep coming back to is “this is insane/nuts/crazy.” The thing about that that is it implies some degree of sanity. For Trump Administrations actions today to be labelled as abnormal one…

I get the need to view Atwood’s comments (and her views on Feminism) in context but I don’t know if that fully excuses statements like the above. We expect good ol’ boys like Jeff Sessions to get with the times and (rightfully) judge him when he fails to do so. If we judge negative views for failing to get up-to-date…

Thanks! Yeah, I’m usually gray-bound but I guess this comment made it out. Even if I ended up ranting to no one sometimes the ranting out/thinking through is worth it for it’s own sake :)
