Ditto. I wish I could find the courage to be more open with family, friends and colleagues.

Can confirm! That is indeed the Official Therapist Office Lamp™️. Usually comes in a set, because we’re broke and also terrible interior designers.

Cheers for pop stars being open about their mental health! I am giving 👍🏾👍🏾to Biebs and Britney right now. It’s still hard for me to talk openly and honestly about my stints in rehab and with therapy.

It’s not a lamp; it’s a torchiere. Torchieres are favored by therapists because indirect light is more comforting.

I think that, overall, you are correct, inasmuch as a big company like this would not get HR to sign off on a firing without some legit reason to back it up, particularly given the fact that she was pregnant, and the relatively certainly that litigation would ensue. However, I think it’s more likely that Netflix…

1) Siargao is a once in a lifetime place

Update, 1:05 P.M.: In an emailed statement to Jezebel a Netflix spokesperson says: “We have previously looked into these claims and determined they were unfounded. Netflix works hard to ensure that employees with families, or who are starting a family, have the flexibility and support they need.”

I have the same, an employee who is a member of multiple protected classes who is also just awful at their job (also not a nice person either). However, despite three previous managers over the last four years all coming to the same conclusion, and a very well documented basis for it including one black and white firea…

This sounds like Theranos for your vag. 

There’s this episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that I watched with my kiddos wherein Rainbow Dash keeps pranking everyonepony and it’s super stressful for her friends (except Pinkie Pie, who IS INTO IT). The episode ends with all the ponies pulling an elaborate prank on Rainbow Dash to make it look like…

I don’t know about Netflix specifically, but there are definitely places where HR really does not have a lot of sway over powerful employees, division heads, etc. I doubt anybody “vetted and approved” her firing except her boss. HR may not have even known it was going to happen. I imagine they make it a practice to…

A prank isn’t funny unless the person you played it on is laughing too.

Seriously. My mom did this to me when I was about 11. She told me that my kitten had escaped out the back door and was run over by a car. I was a hysterical, despondent mess. I had begged for a kitten for years and I loved him so much. Then she was like, JUST KIDDING. And told me that she was just trying to teach me a…

What? Teach your kids media literacy and critical thinking. It’s not hard and you can do it without shattering their trust in you.

One year when I was a young kid my dad, being an early riser, came pounding on our bedroom door saying we were going to be late for the bus. We all freaked out and ran downstairs. It was Saturday, April 1, and he had made pancakes. How is this hard, internet dipshits?

These are exactly the kind of “parents” who wonder why their kids move away the minute they turn 18 and never keep in touch afterwards.

She cried for like, two minutes, and she’s the happiest kid ever now.

Ban children under the age of X(12? 10? 8?) from appearing or just do not allow parents and family vloggers to monetize videos. Remove the carrot and they’ll stop or try to find another platform to spout their nonsense.

I love articles about older, fabulous women and it’s like.. “What’s your secret to looking amazing/living to 100?” and they say “booze and no men”.

My Teta (grandmother) drank (mostly single malt), smoked (Gauloises and the occasional cigar) and gambled (she taught me to play poker when I was still basically a foetus) her way to 99 years young, when she went to sleep one night and didn’t wake up. That, my friends, is living.
