I see abortion per se less of a right, more than I have the right to be in control of when/where/why I bring life into the world.

TOOOTally fair, although any HR dept worth their salt wouldn’t go near terminating someone for talking about compensation, that’s a major lawsuit risk. That being said, I’ve been asked to keep my comp package confidential countless times and I’ve never brought up the fact that this is against the law. I resolve to…

Where’s Nate Silver to show me what the Electoral map would look like if there’s been no tampering.

This film is phenomenal. It’ll gut you. She is perfection (as always). This is a very deserved win.

yes, this. So much this. Anecdotal, for sure, but I’ve known a handful of women who re-entered the workforce (some because the great recession made their primary bread-winning husbands less bread-winning than before) and despite having degrees and experience they had to take entry-level jobs.
