Good luck with that, but do be careful - lots of those jobs are considered independent contracting rather than employment (because it is so “disruptive” to lower your employment overhead by stripping jobs of anything beyond wages). IT systems support tends to be more of an actual job with benefits category - but I’m…

But that presupposes that the Republican party cares about human rights. Here in the US, healthcare isn’t considered a human right. I fucking hate this place.

The “gig” economy is such bullshit.

Yes. I find men to be much more emotional and able to go from 0 to 60 much quicker than women. They simply are only able to direct complicated emotions into anger, violence, revenge, etc., even if what they are feeling is hurt, sad, insecure, embarrassed, or scared. I’ve rarely had to walk on eggshells around other…

“Papa”

Odd how two Republican congressmen from California who voted to raise taxes on their own constituents to finance tax cuts for the super-rich are now retiring. It’s almost like they know that they are slightly less popular in their districts than a herpes flare-up.

I am always fascinated by the cult like devotion people develop for these MLM companies. Even after one or several screw them over they are willing to fully devote themselves to the next one. They really are convinced they are all running their own small business and just not a poorly compensated 1099 employee.

The problem with SH-e-o is not with Weiss, who is ceo of a very successful and credible company, regardless of how she comes off in that interview. It’s with writers looking for a “cute” way to package women in that role—especially when they lead a company that sells girls things like makeup or clothing. It’s…

I’m with you. That cutesy shit makes us seem juvenile. CEO is Chief Exec Officer, none of those are gendered, so there’s no need for this SHE-O shit. Gawd, I’m so annoyed.

Exactly. It diminishes women in that role—like when they do that job, it’s not as hard as a regular ceo. ETA: And god forbid a woman lead a company that sells women-centric products! DEFINITELY don’t take her seriously then! -blech-

She’s GLOSSY. She’s GLOSSIER. Shes the GLOSSIEST!!

Seriously! Not to be snarky, but like....if her skin is supposed to sell me on Glossier products...I ain’t buying it.

Besides the obvious problems with her, which are eye-rolling and cringe-inducing, the phrase SHE-E-O makes me want to stab someone. Its this kind of bullshit, pat cutesy women on their head for having a ‘lifestyle brand’, that serves to keep women out of industry. Why be the CEO of a VC company when you can have a…

My feelings on the entire “SHE-E-O” thing. Yes, we need more female CEO’s for a variety of reasons. But don’t other them into this whole cutesy bullshit new thing. She is a CEO and deserves all the praise and scrutiny that comes from being a CEO of a successful business. And that’s it.

No kidding! I reflexively flip him off whenever I see/hear him. I can’t help it and it fills me with despair to think that the only way we are ever going to be free from his idiocy is if he dies or goes to prison. And I’m not talking about just his presidency; because you know that he will be still be commenting on…

And especially when he’s reading from a teleprompter where at the end of almost every sentence he sounds like he’s run out of breath. Someone once suggested that he thinks he’s channeling Ivanka’s “sexy” breath-y voice. But he literally sounds weak, like he has no stamina to finish the sentence!

And the committee was high AF

Completely unrelated, but Dianne Feinstein just unilaterally released the Fusion GPS transcript. You can read it here: https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/3/9/3974a291-ddbe-4525-9ed1-22bab43c05ae/934A3562824CACA7BB4D915E97709D2F.simpson-transcript-redacted.pdf
