Does it drive anyone else fucking mental that budget-Ryan-Gosling calls Nick “that guy” or “him” instead of just calling him by his name? Clearly he knows it coz he asked for his room number with the front desk. Is he supposed to be pretending that he feels Nick is irrelevant by not acknowledging he HAS a first name?…

I scored one in Chicago

I ate all of these yesterday, and a cronut, and two macarons and now I am dead.

I hope I run into Tig someday, if so I will say "Excuse me I'm sorry to bother you, but I just have to tell you, I love your voice."

So, like, these events were being held simultaneously? WHY WOULD YOU MAKE QUEER CHICANOS CHOOSE. Cruel. Just cruel.

Just wanted to point out a lot of women in non-Western cultures don’t change their name at all. that is all.

It feels like we are giving school administration staff too much power if we are chaning our names and deciding which names to give our kids based on what we expect they will do.

Sigh. Cue all the comments that will defend this as them hiring the “most qualified” people for the job. Study after study shows diverse groups perform much better at problem solving than ones that aren’t as diverse. The more people you have from different backgrounds and different life experiences, the better they’re…

Yeah, I definitely feel like people put crazy amounts of pressure on themselves as to what being a good parent means. No wonder people see having kids as the end of your life. When you’re forced to revolved all your needs and wants around things your kids do not need at all, of course you can’t travel, of course you…

My honest answer is, I don’t know. I had a lot of great girlfriends, romantic and platonic, and it was by learning from them that gave me a vastly different understanding than the one I got growing up in a military family with older brothers. I’d say, for men, surround yourself with strong women friends and take what…

During a discussion about Harry Potter “You just don’t seem like the kind of girl who...reads.”

I’ve lived in America on a student visa for long periods, but I’ve lived in America before when I was a kid for my dad’s work. And then I’m back in my country for years at a time. I go back and forth. You can say I’ve lived in America enough to sound very American because I was 3 the first time we came here. I have no…

Cynthia Hurd was a librarian for 31 years and a dedicated public servant. Say her name. Remember her.

Funny, I said almost the exact same thing to her article over on thebillfold.com a few years ago, the comments from which have mysteriously disappeared. The gist of it was that as a person with background and family in South America, I didn’t especially enjoy her viewing my culture as some kind of Eat, Pray,…

Thank you. I find it really ironic when men claim they can’t work with women because their sexual impulses interfere with their ability to be professional, and then they turn around and say women are not professional because they are too emotional. Excuse me, but what are sexual impulses if not feelings?!?!? Who is…

Forget the ridiculous third reason for a moment. Why do there seem to be so many otherwise intelligent people who don’t seem to understand that the vast majority of the time it’s not appropriate to act on your sexual impulses? Literally everyday of the week I work with and walk by women that I am attracted to,…

I’m thinking about another organization that “harbors” domestic abusers...

somewhere in the corner of the internet where they celebrate white history month, i imagine

Life is too short to drink shitty wine. It really is.
