I spent the majority of my life living near a couple of the richest zip codes in the country. Rich people style comes in a few flavors:

I wouldn’t really want to answer snarky questions at my job from someone obviously trolling me.

Ummmm I appreciate the bare minimum effort to Journalist (Which Is Your Job), I guess

Why are you surprised that receptionists at random hair salons are not wasting their time entertaining a random phone caller’s random questions about extensions at the RNC?

Yeah, I got halfway through the article before realizing that I was thinking of Bella Hadid and had no idea who Bella Thorne is.

I hate litterbugs.

I have my own way of dealing with them. PreCovid, I worked daily in Mid-Town Manhattan. Lots of tourists who think nothing of dropping trash in our streets. I was walking behind a pair of obvious tourists. He pulled a candy bar out of his bag, opened it, and give a piece to his girlfriend/SO. He then…

They always, always turn.  Especially if you out-funny the head goon. 

Yeah, when that negging backfires, it does so SPECTACULARLY.

I work in software, a very male dominated industry. I was negotiating a deal with another company and the representative said “have you ever worked in software before? It seems like you don’t know what you’re doing.” To which I responded “I see on my LinkedIn notifications that you looked at my page the past 3 days in…

On a high school senior year trip to Europe, there were about 30 students with 3 teachers and one guide for the week. We were all assigned numbers so we could do a count off every time we got on the bus or were regrouping. One morning, after about 8 or 9 students had snuck out to go drinking at bars the night before, w…

One thing I’ve done is not get blockers for my daughter because of the tissue issue. She’s also too young here. But we’ve discussed it and when I explained my reasoning, she understood, but still wasn’t thrilled. Her body dysphoria is difficult for her.

To say Kathy Rumer has a “reputation” in trans circles would be a bit of an understatement. Like, even the best surgeons will have some complications, mediocre results, disgruntled patients, or whatever else on their track record. But Rumer has more than the rest of the well known surgeons combined, and never in a…

yeah I was admitted for being a rowing athlete but all I have to show for it is a picture of me on a rowing machine. I had no idea my admissions to USC was on false pretenses.

Serious Eats’ Kenji’s Cooking Show, Helen Rennie, Food Wishes, Binging with Babish, Maangchi’s Koren Cooking. I recently started watching some Joshua Weissman videos. He’s very young so his humor is targeted more toward the Zoomer crowd. Not bad, just a different style. You can find old Sohla videos on Serious Eats…

It is striking to me how many of the significant problems in this story could have been mitigated by a health care system that supported parents, treated illness, and took a uniform approach to science and evidence.

I’ve seen it. There’s no excuse for feeding your kids bleach.

She should be in prison for child abuse. Risperdal for autism really? Bleach?

Saw this for the first time in early-1998, on the tail-end of my eighth grade year. A particularly devil-may-care substitute teacher showed it to my class (I’m pretty Mr. Zuck was not asked to sub at my middle school again lol).

So this woman looked at Rachel Dolezal and said hold my beer? 

I think the important question is what we women did to push this poor man over the edge. Clearly he was a decent man who just fell in with the wrong websites. All he needed was a good woman to notice his depositions. We should really begin to talk about mental health in this country. He’d been very depressed-
