I’m sorry that happened to you. Maybe there is a district manager you can speak to? 

I hope your severance gets you through.

My bread is very bland and I need some guidance … can you share your recipe?

I had a TikTok about workplace gender discrimination go viral this week. There are 2.5 million views, thousands of comments of support, and a half million likes, but also thousands of comments calling me a liar. Mostly I delete them, sometimes I try to educate them, sometimes I just back-sass them. I do what feels…

How about a year’s supply of Fresca? Cus that shit is hard to find.

Dude, in the mid-aughts every Portland hipster house party I attended dedicated a full hour to a Sussudio dance party. I remember espying Julianne at one of these …. surely she can attest!

That’s not what the video is about, but sure, go off.

You must be me, as I too was a stoplight shouting TURN HIS FUCKING MIC OFF while my heartrate skyrocketed.

Literally nothing about this comment is worked up about anything. People are allowed to muse about things that stoke their curiosity.
