It’s okay, I also skew pretty misanthropic. The WeWork stations are available to anyone who pays, I think, but the Wing is open only to women (and quite expensive, though diverse).

I think he just looks like any charming, non-murderous sociopath.
Howard Stern for Press Secretary
So I just want to say that not only is this poem bad, content-wise, and the rhymes facile, and the diction naively vacillating between archaisms and contemporary speech, with lazy alliterations, but the meter is truly terrible. As in, not only did Sean Penn not pay any attention to it, but maybe didn’t even do it the…
The graphic designer I know lives in Boston, so if she pays $700/month for a bedroom and $400 for WeWork or whatever it is, then that’s $1,100, which is still wayyyyy less expensive than living alone, which is usually a minimum of $2,000 in the city, $1,700 if you go to Somerville or Allston etc.
I get to stay here in CA, cuz I got rent control.
That’s awful! I’ve lived in cities for most of my adult life, and I try to meet the waitstaff where they’re at because I remember how exhausting customer service is. I’m never rude, but if they’re brusque I don’t try to elicit friendliness from them. Maybe moving to a city, she overdid trying to “fit in” with the…
In the words of a small-town Republican politician I know (jeebus help me), paraphrased, “You and your friends says these things about women’s rights, but all the women I know feel that they’re already equal, and so do men, so what are you complaining even about? You don’t want an abortion? Keep your legs shut. There…
It’s a good question, but the reality is that most of the women who have the resources to move away from a state don’t need to worry (YET) about these laws. If our state has shitty reproduction laws, we can go to another state for care. I read on Jezebel about a woman who flew to Colorado (? maybe?) for her late-term…
I think that most of the people who do this have roommates, and don’t want to work out of the single bedroom they’re renting. It can get pretty depressing to live AND work out of a single, small space.
Haha! I’ve heard “Save room for the holy spirit” but based on the logic of the Holy Trinity that should be synonymous, right?
Sorry, forgot to add the “/s” to that one.
I was once asked not to use the phrase “come to Jesus talk” anymore, not because it would offend my Christian students, but because it would alienate my non-Christian students. Good rule of thumb:* avoid Jesus at all costs.
Like an office, but for people from all different companies. More and more people are getting jobs “working from home” or doing freelance work because it’s cheaper than giving someone office space and full benefits. I know a graphic designer who uses WeWork and does actually collaborate with professionals she wouldn’t…
Any novel that’s really long usually gets me a question or two. “WHAT is that? WHY are you reading it???”
The header photo is creeping me out really hard. It makes it look like Paul Ryan actually possesses compassion for teenagers. Is he thinking about fertilized eggs or something?
Yeah, there aren’t a lot of certified daycares in the place I grew up—a place where very few working mothers get maternity leave. People watch your kids for you in their own houses and you pay them under the table to do that.
