EXACTLY.

Our lead campaign at the moment is called Poverty Is Sexist. And there is another one called Girls Count. About 130 million girls can’t go to school who want to go to school.

Comment of the century. ✨✨✨

It would be really, really useful to ask a huge number of high school grade school kids and adults in workplaces to (anonymously) point out the bullies. (Not sexual harassers. Obviously it overlaps but for now just plain bullies). If there is a massive consensus of who they are, have personality tests done on them.…

Spaced-out seating. A Death Ray to remove people who kick my seat. Sorry, ZERO seats behind me. Immediate removal of kids who run. Removal of kids who throw things. SILENCE. Extreme enforcement of all the above.

You are far, far nicer than I. I would have said “I’m going to go home and say a Wiccan prayer for you” (then I would have felt bad for saying it because any Wicca priestess would say we shouldn’t use this belief system to seek revenge). 🙄

My first year of grad school I had a 50 minute drive every morning. I was always in a cold sweat about 20 minutes from the school parking lot and the only thing (at least I thought) I could keep down was water and a smoothie. Nope. The first 2 weeks, every time I got off that highway ramp, at the first stop light I…

Former wildlife rehabber here. That shit is SERIOUS. A woman found a paralyzed skunk in the woods behind her house, convinced her kids had harmed it (she was red-faced livid) because they were throwing rocks at it. I saw the poor thing having a seizure and I told them “I don’t think it was the kids” and I encouraged…

Oh well, at least he fucking tried. When you have a shit character to deal with, asking them questions is, from a cognitive science perspective, far more revealing and constructive than making statements. And this needs to be on men to ask them. Now he just needs better questions. Personally, I’d like to thank him for…

Oh, lordie. That sounds like EXACTLY the bullying, mean-spirited, manipulative bullshit I get from my mom and sister. I moved out when I was 17. My life was poor, unsafe and unstable. And it was the best decision I ever made. You go, girl! Protect your good kids and never get sucked back in.

Wow, great defense. What law school did you attend?

Double comment for Patrick. 🙂 Re: Please and Thank you. I appreciate this. I worked in retail and (as a nature guide) with the public for a long time. The underlying message is basic respect. No, not compassion. I don’t want your “empathy”. I’m a grown-ass woman working full time and supporting myself. Be polite,…

How perfect that NBC creates rules that blur the distinction between consensual and unwelcomed. While I get why it’s legally necessary to ban workplace romance, if they gave a single flying shit about their employees they should have first drawn an extremely clear distinction.

I work seasonally and end up in a slump too. 😑 I hope you feel better. I totally get it though.

Also I hope you get to enjoy your soup!!

No don’t be sorry, I’m so glad to commiserate! (Why do you think I posted here)? 😂 LMAO. I’m a “fixer” too. Sometimes I feel like I’m surrounded by children! Oh and I’m so sorry about your medication, my Xanax wasn’t ready on time and I was so looking forward to some red wine but now my sinus headache means the only…

Ugh, attitude! Hope your holiday is feeling much more positive than that. Happy Solstice!

What I’m over: my family drama. I’m estranged from my mom and sister, but I still call my mom (the mom who used to tell people I’m related to her dog) on Christmas and send her presents. Well, she loves drama. So over the phone she said, “Your sister wants to speak to you”. I thought, she does?? The last time we spoke…

I’m a yoga and meditation fanatic. Trust me, there is nothing wrong with you. We are not cookie-cutters and wouldn’t the world be boring if we were. I do hope you find something wholesome to give you the peace you deserve, but it doesn’t have to be yoga. 🙂🌸
