Congratulations!

This is a great strategy. If I need to extricate myself from a conversation I like to say “Well, I’ll let you go now.” It works wonders for getting them off the phone/ out of a convo. If it’s in person, I touch their arm and say “So good to see you, take care!” And there is always the eternal wisdom of “well, bless…
That’s just Math!
Hey, the man who has been accused of harassing women is your friend? You love him? Great. You go ahead and love him. Just quit making excuses for his behavior. Stop asking other women to love him, despite his actions. I don’t care how many zillions of years women have been doing this very thing- making excuses for the…
Conversely, 20ish women are attracted to...men within a few years of their own age. They are not attracted to older men. But this is what happens when women are viewed as buyable or ownable merchandise, but not as human beings.
“...men like him often seem to think of their worshipful attention on 25-year-olds as a gift, when it is so often experienced as a burden.”
Agreed, that is exactly how this will be framed. As if paying higher taxes will be robbing the hardworking rich, no, middle class. Robbing them of the fruits of their labor to give money to the -fill in the blank with epithets describing brownness, otherness, femaleness, immigration and poverty. In fact, of course,…
The highest tax brackets were around 70% until Reagan. So...the 1980's, when Reagan began his wealth distribution by voodoo economics/trickle down ideas. Also Reagan: 1987's repeal of the fairness doctrine, where news had to be factual and show all sides.
nom nom nom! Beautiful bread.
Excellent news, I am glad for you. I’m glad you had such a good interview.
Thank you. This cultural shift feels like “Here be dragons”, sometimes.
People interested in having a different life than their parents life, or the life of those around them growing up, have a hard time. They are climbing a mountain towards a goal without clear markers. They are climbing blind. That’s what college or work or life mentors are for: someone to quantify your experiences, to…
I hope that Trump’s usual with Warren -calling her “Pochantas” instead of talking about policy- doesn’t work. I hope so. To me, the problem is that Trump is symptomatic of a lot of voters who don’t want to see a woman or POC in office over them.
You mean the same supporters who claimed the only reason women were voting for Clinton was because she was a woman? Those guys? The “it’s not that she’s a woman, it’s that she’s that woman” guys?
Any female candidate that runs will be criticized endlessly, just like any white male candidate is seen as immediately acceptable/”what a President is supposed to look like”- no matter how mediocre a candidate they are. Look at Trump. A mediocre, racist fool, but a white man. Let’s stop accepting the idea that POC or…
Oh, good news. Glad you’re safe and warm.
Kelly, I am loving your Christmas coverage, complete with joyous schmaltz like the wine mom towels, and showing how newish our ideas of “traditional Christmas” is. Thanks, I love this.
Bitch slap and official notification that the wheels have just come entirely off the Trump White House. I expect some groups to wander over to tell 45 that he can resign or go to prison. Maybe both, this is more serious than Watergate. Groups like the DOJ, or the Joint Chiefs.
None of them can read anything beyond a first paragraph.
