Also an engineer and I can’t say I have this experience. College was fine but in the industry there is a low level of bias that steadily builds over time, which eventually robs you of opportunities, promotions and salary adjustments. I’ve rarely experienced people being all out sexist dicks, but frequently experience…

I totally love this one. I was going to be a McKenzie brother but now I am rethinking that decision.

Just moved after 13 years in Seattle. Fuck I-5 traffic to hell and back.

Chip is so obnoxious. He is like a dumber version of my old manager who would fist bump and call people bro. Jo is my 3rd-ish favorite person on HGTV behind the Good Bones mom/daughter/roving band of dudes.

People on their phones who wander around on the side walk not paying attention! Or the people with dogs and let the leash string across the entire path. I once accidentally kicked a dog once trying to get by. I felt bad.

Yeah fuck that. This dude is trying to undo our democracy because he can’t handle the slightest bit of criticism. I would totally say something and then gladly never be invited to a family thing again.

West to east. Not excited about losing the amazing climate but it is time for a change. :-)

Cross country move and a new job. I am handling it with anxiety/depression meds and alcohol. Probably not the best combo but fuck it.

Thank you. It is hard, I worked there for over 10 years. I loved the work but the environment was toxic as hell. It was also soul crushing to see the destructive changes they were making.

I was recently laid off from Boeing. I have a lot of thoughts but the biggest issue there is absolutely HORRID management. That is killing the company. They don’t know what the fuck they are doing, agree to asinine changes because they don’t have any clue what the area they manage actually does and, despite being…

Viability at 8 weeks? They going to arrest engineers or doctors for not having come up with a way to keep a fetus alive at that point? WTF

Plus people lie or don’t experience it the way she does. I had a coworker insist once that *I* must be interpreting things wrongly, that there is no way that type of thing still happens. Then he was with me during an interaction where I was patronized and talked down to. He apologized profusely.

I had this happen. He never even acknowledged it. I saved a screenshot of his bio because it was completely nerdy and ridiculous.

I basically live on a mountain in Washington with tons of wildlife, bears included. I am far more fearful of being attacked men when I am out hiking or running than bears.

And horse penis is also known as the slayer of Mr. Hands.

I love Alaska Airlines. I will gladly pay a little more to fly an airline that doesn’t make 180+ passengers completely miserable to fit in one more damn row of seats.

They aren’t the same. The leggings thing was for employees flying standby who knew there were dress codes. This was a paying passenger who was completely unaware of this particular method of ‘volunteering’. Additionally, it is on United for booking the flight to capacity and then deciding their deadheading crew needed…

Delta brings this flight cancelation nightmare upon themselves by forcing people to go through Atlanta and reduce flights out of their other hubs. So when there are thunderstorms in Atlanta (pretty common occurance) it affects way more flights and people than it should.

I am just giving you a star because your name/avatar.

Recharge by taking part in local gatherings and marches! The science march is April 22nd, being a scientist is not a prerequisite. :-)
