In Denver, we had a grant-funded bodycam program. The police union didn’t want officers to be penalized for turning off the cameras*. After the program ended, guess what they found? A majority of use-of-force incidents weren’t on film because with no repercussions, officers simply switched off the cameras when they…

o man, “wtf dad” is exactly the appropriate response. My parents do the same thing with my brother. I’m kind of a black sheep - I think the only way they can relate to me is through my relation to their other creation. It was hard when I was younger, but now that I’m grown, a small head shake and a “wtf” are my only…

I am also really proud/impressed with her. I was assaulted in college - under diff circumstances - he was a stranger and not a student - but I also had a really hard time with the admins of my school who I felt pushed me out of things that were supportive to me (campus housing & sports) because my PTSD diagnosis made…

I had a customer send back food and call me an idiot because he "said no dairy."

"I think that Lululemon was so successful because I was probably the only straight guy that was making women's apparel"

It's easy to lock down your own stuff, but hard to keep your face out of your friends public postings. Especially when the stalker is someone tangentially in your friend group. I had a similar stalking situation (more dating-stalkery than what happened here) and the chick was so very clever at pulling photos from my…

GAH. This happened (sorta) to me, and I scaled back my social media usage a ton. I went out on a couple dates with a chick, we didn't click. I let her know, and then craziness ensued.

It was a weird combination of romantic stalker/wanna-be-you-stalker (women stalking women is a very different animal - Tracy is right)…

Thank you for posting this. My bestie posting something so similar to this today, in response to someone's "it's so hard to be an ally" comment. She said:

"I would almost rather be outright trolled by racists than to hear the self-congratulatory martyrdom from my white friends and loved ones on how the struggle for…

Getting time in for a workout. I love my Bikram, but a 90 min sweat sesh and the prep beforehand (not eating for 2-3 hours before class) is tough.

I thought Lindsay was AMAZING in Freaky Friday. Her gestures and tone when she was playing the mom-in-daughter-body were spot-on - her reaching out to pull down her friend's belly-baring top, the a-ha! moment in her eyes when she heard her daughter's friend say "Your mom never supports you" and says "so you're…

Lego Planters!

Heartbroken to see my alma mater (The College of William & Mary) on the list. I'll be calling the alumni office today to ask what they're doing about this because I definitely don't want my donor dollars going to a school under investigation for mishandling a sexual assault case.

They weren't lazy! Just nice dudes who didn't really see a mess or know how to clean properly. For instance, things like wiping the kitchen counters, stovetop, and table or sweeping the floor didn't occur naturally to them when they cleaned - so they'd do the dishes and maybe clean the sink and would happily declare…

When I lived in a small house with 3 messy guys (with hearts of GOLD), splitting the cost of a biweekly house cleaner saved us from so many roommate disagreements. It was worth it to preserve our friendship.

Wow - good on you, that's really, really tough to do to open yourself up like that. Not to get too specific, but how did you disclose your mental illness to your work that worked successfully?

Yup for pretty much every job I've ever had. I dial way back my nerdiness and dry humor, and stay away from discussing politics or any of the volunteer work I do for political campaigns & parties. I consider it more "being a professional" than "self-censorship." While my friends might get that I'm not poking fun at…

Sweeeet! I found this: https://brightnest.com/posts/home-mai… and naturally downloaded the iHandy level to use immediately...on everything.

I LOVE Mealime! Since I started subscribing, I majorly cut down on wasted food. Can't wait till their app comes out so I can have a portable shopping list.

Oof I feel this - coming out of a career in political activism/nonprofit/mission-y work, and into the corporate sector where I make enough money to make my life way more enjoyable, but my job (that I really like and I'm quite good at) is just a job. I took a break from the more hardcore political mobilizing I was…
