She’s actually been doing a lot of awareness outreach and is hosting a show that is telling other trans* stories and giving them a platform. She’s far from perfect, but she is trying to be there for her sisters and brothers both in this task.

The whole point of insurance on a UPS package seems ridiculous to me. In what other industry do you have to pay extra money, to ensure that the company is responsible for the service you’re already paying them to complete?

Your coworker is an out of touch asshat. People call the police if you let your kid go outside for 8+ hours a day without checking in, you would have your children taken away from you. You can’t leave your kids for five minutes alone in a public space without some “concerned” person intervening or calling the police.

Didn’t realize that my current shit worth is zero or in the negative, and that canned haggis, global thermonuclear war, and daylight saving time are all better ideas than “Ask a Lawyer.” Thanks for this moment of self-realization. Going up to the cabin for few weeks to fix this for you.

I totally disagree. I think that the clothing suited their characters, and that the show did a good job with the time they were working with (early 2000s, not a great time for fashion, but definitely a time when those scarves were everywhere) and also growing with them - Rory’s wardrobe in particular. Rory, at the…

.... that people with phobias don’t register as toys.

I’ll say it again: Feminism without intersectionality is just various shades of bigotry.

I don’t particularly like their products, but I will say that my credit card was compromised during the Target breach AND all my personal info was released during a hack of the university where I went to grad school and when OPM was hacked because I work for the government. If there’s one thing I don’t hold against a…

I call BS on that. STEM, with tech in particular, is treated as a boys club and women are almost always either looked down upon in terms of skills and capabilities or only viewed at as eye candy. That is something I can personally attest to. I’ve seen resumes come in from women and the only time they even get a chance…

So it sounds like you could run an excellent side hustle of wedding veils on Etsy.

It reminds me of the episode of Gilmore Girls where Lorelei is trying to get her mother to take an interest in her wedding to Max, and finally it comes when her mother tells her she shouldn’t wear a veil—she should wear a tiara, like she did at her wedding. It’s a really lovely moment where you realize that, cold fish…

“She’s going to effectively erase Margaret Thatcher from the history books.”

This is so sad. In 1978, I was one of two adopted babies allowed out of India. The adoption was through Missionaries of Charity. Given the long-ingrained contempt of women and girls in some aspects of Indian culture, to think that that many more children won’t be helped (mostly girls) is heartbreaking.

Mark Shrayber: Office bully

God, it must really be awful for those creators to have a bunch of people on the internet making assumptions about their intentions and criticizing them publicly. Good thing it’s only on twitter though, imagine if there was a whole app, just for that!

I think the rest of America would appreciate it if New Jersey would instead enforce that standard on its governors.

Holy shit, that girl is so strong and brave. That situation is horrifying.

I am very disappointed with this. It used to be I could claim that the reason I didn’t go to Ranger school is because I am a woman and wasn’t allowed to. Now I have to face the fact that it is because I am woefully underqualified and hilariously incapable. Damn feminists, why do they keep ruining my fantasies by…

“Adversarial game”? If your intent is to do business with each other going forward, treating your partner as an adversary is not a productive way to proceed, because your relationship will be ongoing after the negotiation. Trust and candor are critical to good business relationships.
