Wait, there isn’t a private space? I have never pumped or anything, but I know the laws here (as in the Netherlands) mandate a private space with a door with a lock, and a separate fridge (that fridge can be in another room, it just has to be there) to store breastmilk away from food etc. That space may not be a…

after my first child, they claimed i could use the conference room, and installed a lock, as they are legally mandated to provide a space. but it didn’t logistically make sense. shutting the shades on the huge windows and then bending down into the corner where the only outlet was didn’t seem to be the best solution.…

Someone once argued with me that lactating women shouldn’t have any objections to pumping in bathrooms because “milk is just a bodily secretion like urine or poop anyway.” I was a decade away from motherhood at that point, but I still wanted to mix poop in his cereal and see if he continued to believe that milk and…

I went to a conference a few years ago, like three weeks after returning to work from maternity leave. And work conferences - they’re always like “let our coordinators know if you need anything!” But they couldn’t seem to figure out how to accommodate my need to pump and their coordinator (who was a woman) suggested…

I mean, I already called her a Trump supporter.

She still opens her show “in character”, singing a high energy disco number and dancing into the audience, cuchi-cuchi’ing exhaustively for ten minutes, ends up on stage and says, “I know what question you’re all asking yourselves right now: ‘How old IS that bitch?’” Then she talks about her unclear age (around 70).…

Her musical abilities were totally overshadowed by the character she played in most instances. I do not want to detract at all from her performances, but she did play that “character” to great enjoyment and regular work, but no one ever took her seriously as a true artist and great musician.  My heart goes out for her…

I love her. Last year she opened for Pink Martini at the Hollywood Bowl, and damn if she isn’t still sensational. When she sits down and plays classical Spanish guitar, it’s just breathtaking. And she’s got the most endearing personality. So sad after such a successful 40 year marriage for it to have to end that way;…

OMG Charo :(((((((( 

This part blew my mind:

One has! Expected candidate Eric Garcetti (mayor of Los Angeles; pop. 4 million), yesterday announced his decision NOT to run.

Am I the only one that almost breaks his mouse-wheel when scrolling past the fuckface-in-chief’s tweets?

Celine Dion crying at Valentino’s fashion show is my look for 2019.

That face tho

It’s the men, of course, and often enough the white men, who are more likely to be crowned Kings of Woke, and granted TV shows and movies and well-paid comedy specials. There’s good money to be made in pretending to be a decent person, if you know how to leverage it. But how are we supposed to react, and to think, if…

Okay, this always confused me back when I was still identifying as an Evangelical Christian: lots and lots of Christians apparently have no problem with premarital sex when it comes to a second marriage. Someone I knew when I was at an Evangelical college was getting remarried to someone else who was divorced (their…

Nah, everybody plays D&D nowadays. There are legit D&D bros. If they really want it to be a modern depiction of nerdy esoterica, they’d either be vocally insisting on playing 2nd Edition AD&D like assholes, arguing about Pathfinder, or playing some esoteric spinoff system like a Powered by the Apocalypse or Forged in…

You know how people in bad relationships will limp along through infidelity and deception, but will suddenly cry out “THE WAY YOU SCRAPED THAT FORK ACROSS THAT BUTTER EXEMPLIFIES WHAT I HATE ABOUT YOU AND I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE, I AM LEAVING”? This idiotic piece of sub-fluff non-observational non-commentary…

oh holy shit, I LOVE this place. I went to school around there and my now-husband and I used to go there on dates.
