My kids got books through Imagination Library. I learned basic feminism from 9to5 as a kid. Steel Magnolias is my comfort move. We don’t deserve her

I can’t believe I didn’t know about this years ago:

California doesn’t allow these sort of clauses. What would happen if a California outlet hired them, while they remained in NYC, because pandemic?

This would be a fine idea, especially since Defector just dropped the first episode of The Distraction with Drew Magary and David Roth this morning.

Meanwhile comments are still turned off at Deadspin.

“Doing the laundry” is not “pampering” ffs. It’s doing the basics as a partner in a marriage.

Put her in charge of a Truth and Reconciliation type commission and scorch the government of these fascists while coming up with recommendations for legislation with teeth that will stop this fuckery from ever happening again.

There are also forces in our society that continue to indoctrinate people into believing that men can’t and shouldn’t be held responsible for sexual misconduct.

Disallow five witnesses and there are infinite more, Bill. Reminder...

You know what else is fundamentally unfair? Giving drugs to dozens of women over decades so you can rape them. A practice for which there is ample evidence, even by his own statements.

Thank you — when I’m exhausted and she’s hungry and it doesn’t feel like I will ever have enough milk, I remind myself how lucky I am and not to take this privilege — something everyone should have — for granted.

Two months into my 18-month-parental leave at home with my spouse (three months’ parental leave plus a month vacation) and OMFG I don’t know how I’d do this alone, let alone plan going back to work soon. Especially during a pandemic with almost no outside help from family and friends (at least not physical support,

Huh, its as if they had done the proper due diligence they would have found that shit much sooner and could have fired him without losing a dime.
