I really want it to be more ok for people to discuss their salaries. People are so money-squeemish. Having it instilled in us that talking about pay is uncouth has only hurt us. But keeping pay secret only helps employers, for the rest of us it’s powerful information.

Hijabs are still representative of one of the worst forms of patriarchy on a global scale. No amount of good lighting and Photoshop can change that.

OMG the way she calls him “Larry” (I’m sure she was supposed to call him Dr. Nassar during all those years) is dripping with such perfect condescension. POWER move, 15.866 total score.

I would also like to speak on behalf of the generously be-titted who love to cook: aprons are not fucking meant for us. (Not that this is Meghan’s problem.) Every cute apron ever made does the dreaded slide and ends up hugging one giant can and looks like shit and fuck aprons.

Hannah Arendt has a good piece on this and she frames it in regards to the Holocaust. It’s not forgiveness in the sense of just letting people off the hook or forgetting, but in the sense that it takes some letting go in order to live your own life. I think Korean vengeance movies explore it pretty well also

the editors of Babe were . . . courting a bad faith conversation

I would be really happy for a few dudes who have worked with Woody Allen or any of the reported abusers to weigh in and add their voices to the “Not working with this guy again” conversation. Their silence is deafening as only women appear to be called to account for it, are taking the professional hit and have to…

I appreciate Tapper’s comment, and it’s an important point, but Miller’s used enough alt right neo-Nazi dog whistles that he’s no longer invited to Shabbat.

“Its crazy kids today think they need to sit around waiting for the perfect job to come around.” Are you for real?

You graduated 10 years ago. Things. Are. Not. The. Same. Furthermore I’m tired of people acting like companies should get away with not paying people (esp entry level) a living wage. I have come across so many jobs it would actually cost more in transportation to get to, than the job actually pays. No one expects a…

The job market is very difficult for youngins right now, and it’s usually not just that they all want a big fancy job right out the gate. A person with that much debt can’t afford to pay it and rent every month on the salaries that are being offered for many of the entry-level jobs being offered. So sure, she could…

My parents lived near that building 50 years ago and my mom was OBSESSED with trying to spot her. Then one day, my mom was pushing my brother in a baby carriage and Greta Garbo was walking towards them. As she passed my mom, she said, “you’re baby is beautiful”.

TRUE STORY: I work in Rock Center but NOT for NBC and a colleague of mine had a broken leg. One day she was struggling down the street on crutches past 30 Rock and Hoda walked out to get in her black car. Hoda did NOT know my colleague, but because Hoda is a dream, she gave my colleague her black car and told it to…

Oddly enough, I want Trump’s legacy to be the first US President to die in prison.

As I said on the root post, those are my questions. Where was this guy radicalized? Who has he exposed these views to? And do they also have access to guns?

I like the shapes, just not the colors.

I liked OKCupid BECAUSE of things like longer profiles (IDK, is it weird to actually want to know what folks are about?), the questions, the not having to use my real name, the not having to use it on a smart phone (I got my first smartphone 2 years ago. I’m just not That Into Them. I prefer being on a computer). I…

I was thinking about it yesterday evening as I walked in snowboots. And then I wondered how many other people were still thinking about that article. And now I know. All of us are still thinking about it.

Black and blue look amazing together (when done right) and stopped being verboten around the same time the old ladies who insisted on matching their shoes and purses kicked the bucket, and along with them those outdated rules.
