It can be a really nasty business. I have a friend who designed the most beautiful accessories for a fairly big-name designer, and got fired when her new boss decided that “only gay men can be fashion designers.”

Am re-reading Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walters. Everyone needs to read this. Every paragraph is a goddam treasure.

My dad is the guy who takes care of everyone, his own family and his extended family. He’s the guy who can do anything and do it well. He is and always has been so respectful of women that I had a really hard time when I first started dating and met so many basic douchebags. I couldn’t comprehend it. He never took the…

I’ve worked with a bunch of these Mayflower types. They honestly believe they’re superior beings (and should not be accountable for anything they do) and they also assume the rest of the world knows they are superior beings (and should not be accountable for anything they do). That’s why this happens over and over…
