Meditation helps me switch from go-go work mode to chill home mode (when I meditate, I usually do it right after work with my husband). I also meditate when I find my mind racing in circles. I use the Insight Timer for this too! And it’s really great. But I rarely try for more than 10 minutes, and I count any sort of…

The simplest answer is often the best. He attacks POC, WOC mostly, because he’s a racist, sexist ass.

I think maybe Trump is trying to be like Putin. And by that I mean super duper powerful and rich. And I think there are lots of people smarter than him that are happy to make this happen.

Why I was not interested in West World after just a few minutes watching the pilot.

Yes. The choice is eat delicious holiday treat or don’t eat deliscious holiday treat.

Saying sexist or racist stuff when you’re tired, drunk, or angry does reveal at least some of what you think and who you are.

Yup. This news cycle gave me the confidence to speak out about my experience with one particular academic. The results were actually wonderful, which I’m surprised and happy about.

Emphasizing “people,” not “person” seems to increase the success rate.

Yup. As long as he can find a similar opportunity quickly, he just saved himself a ton of grief.

My husband and I are mostly on the same page as roommates, but I’m neater and becoming more so with kids and age. We agreed many times that ish shouldn’t be left in the living room, but he overlooks it sometimes, so now he has an out of the way space by the bed where left out ish is (nicely) placed. It’s not too…

“I’m a big believer that many of society’s ills stem from people not being able to face the truth about themselves.”

Yep. Finally came forward about a male prof whose sexual advances were the main reason I switched subfields. Had to think twice about being alone with male senior faculty since that event, and it sucks, especially since most of the power players are men.

Assuming that’s anywhere near what she wants? I hear your POV, but I agree with others on this thread who’ve also been through it. The more I think about it, the more I think LW is avoiding cutting bait, and also that the wife doesn’t need to hear this from her unprompted.

I guess having been through it I feel more confident in saying she probably already knows and is choosing not to face it right yet for whatever conscious and unconscious reasons. It’s not always better to find out sooner.

She’ll figure it out if she doesn’t already know. I would loathe hearing something like this from the side chick.

Aren’t parents legally allowed to refuse medical treatment for their (already out of the womb) child? I don’t see how this should really be different.

I know! My mom supplemented my schooling too, but there’s still an insane amount I (and she) never heard of. I also read about race! Like a lot!

It’s still crazy to me that people didn’t take to the streets en masse over that one. I mean, I know various reasons why they/we didn’t, but still.

I knew none of this. Just as planned. Jesus.

Heathens. Brown. Immigrants. Liberals. Gay. All the terrible things.
