This is the correct take. Twitter’s willingness to serve as the bullhorn for Trump’s fucknuttery, along with their inaction in combating information that’s turned out to be legitimately harmful is just beyond the pale. Twitter served as the echo chamber for the corrupt, and continues to refuse to accept any…

Remember, Trump’s base loves him because he hits the people they want to hit, like families of combat veterans and women who die of tragic accidents.

This is tangentially related at best. Just let this video speak for itself and don’t use it to prop up other agendas.

This comment took an interesting left turn. From “Be wary of white women falsely accusing black men of crimes” to “Let’s not investigate a white woman accusing a white man of something that he has already been known due to do and of something for which she has some corroborating evidence even though a failure to…

This incident perfectly encapsulates why I was never comfortable with the idea of #BelieveWomen and always got into heated debates in the comments regarding the notion that “women don’t lie about these things.” From the Scottsboro Boys to Rosewood, FL to Black Wallstreet in Tulsa, OK to Emmitt Till, White American…

The only bosses I ever had that loved open office spaces always had their own individual offices.

Its all about the rent... push as many people into a space as possible. Using dividers or having separate offices within the space cost dollars. That other shit about collaboration... that’s just shit. 

My office was supposed to be moving into an open plan this year. I'm guessing that won't be happening. 

I really hope that with all the bad things to come out of this pandemic that it has at least ended the design era of open offices. No one who actually stays in those kind of offices likes them. They’re an excuse to go cheap on labor and lazily micro-manage.

Converting from “serve-yourself” to “you-can-have-as-much-as-you-want-but-we’ll-serve-you” would have been prohibitively labor-intensive. Some cruise ships operate that way- Celebrity and Holland America - and the benefit is that the great unwashed public doesn’t ever get their hands on the tongs.

Yes.

Ugh, yes. I actually was just ranting to my boyfriend this morning over breakfast about how my newest Quarantine Qualm (something repeated ad nauseum during all of this) are these vague, subjective, doomsday statements of “well life as we know it will never really be the same.” Like...what does that mean? Do you mean…

Open office designs are one of the reasons I decided to freelance. I need to be able to focus, and I can’t do that with so many distractions and noises. 

Ah, yes, middle seats on airplanes are going to go away permanently.

Other than just generically spending time with friends and loved ones, going to the movies is one of the things I’ve been missing the most, honestly. I go alone a lot of the time, but I really enjoy just getting out of my house, and getting to eat a giant sized box of candy I’d never think to buy at a grocery store,…

IDK but I am enjoying how we’re all calling out this bullshit. Every visible comment.

My spare room has been my closet for some time, but it’s not even close to “boudoir” status. I have a desk for organizational purposes, but there’s no lounging in there.  It’s straight-up racks of clothes, towels, and sheets.  It is big, though, so there’s that.

That last outfit!!!!

This summer will bring new meaning to the phrase “all dressed up and nowhere to go.”

i want to order a few sarongs and bike shorts. can’t go out to the thursday night pop-up bar at the museum, which is normally the jewel of the social calendar around here? might as well wear a single piece of fabric “to” the kiddie pool in my backyard while my child splashes me. close enough, i guess.
