I’m going to send this to my bf.

Omg yeah Dear Sugar podcast just did an episode with this woman on. It was really good. Talking about how much extra work women do that is not recognized even within the family. Like you said, doing the work of a) deciding a cleaner is needed and bringing it up and b) doing the research of hiring a cleaner - was not…

YES. This story stuck with me and also caused a couple of fights among couples I know (after I sent my women friends the article - woooops).

I. Remember. That. Story! And I remember thinking how difficult it must be to spell everything out all the time.

This is literally making me want to cry. Because it reminds me of my mom. At 54, she still has 2 kids at home - out of 5. One is 31 and the other one 21, both male and fucking losers. And my dad. She works full-time as a manager in retail so she spends a big chunk of her day on her feet, then comes home to act as…

A couple of years ago, the NYT interviewed some moms about their Mother’s Day experiences. One woman said her family gave her the day off. (No, really.) At the end of the day, she went into the garage to find all the dirty laundry her family said they were going to “take care” of that day.

It’s the lack of empathy that I can’t stand.

My point from yesterday - we need to stop voting for elderly people. They are so fucking out of touch with modern society.

I did quit to stay home with Kid Electron. Boomer women were so pissed with me for not second waving it and showing her that a woman could work. Boomer men assumed I was exaggerating the cost of daycare. Like, really? Google that shit.

So many Boomers are just SO. OUT. OF. TOUCH. They truly have no idea how little they had to pay for their educations, homes, and basic necessities and how much they benefit from pensions, retirement programs, Medicare, and Social Security. Later generations have had none of their advantages, and the Boomers in…

The Blac Chyna link reminds me that I just saw an old episode of KUWTK (it was shortly after Kim was robbed in Paris) in which BC was still pregnant, and I thought about how these peoples lives and disasters are one long semi-fake documentary more sort of cringey than any teen diary of drama.

Also, in the episode I…

Wow, none of that behavior is acceptable. How frightening.

Also, if someone shows up in a Knights of Columbus uniform, I might just shit myself. These guys were ON. POINT.

Why? Clearly a very specific part of their brains match up and, in my experience, that is critical for long-term compatibility. I say congratulations to them both!

That’s her job? I hope you never need a defense attorney so you can keep judging them from afar.

Defending shitty people doesn’t mean she’s a shitty person. Every rapist and murderer that gets to court has (at least theoretically) a lawyer, well versed in the law, to represent them to ensure appropriate weight is given to the circumstances and any mitigating factors that should be considered. Even horrible humans…

Every lawyer defends at least one or two shitty people.

Can we not call it a box?

I think William and Catherine have done an excellent job with making the monarchy relevant to modern day society. So has the Queen, actually. Some examples: The Queen changed the Succession to the Crown Act so that a female heir to the throne isn’t bumped down the line in the event of the birth of a male sibling (she…

From your story, it’s not clear of this person’s racism was directed at one particular victim, but if there was a specific victim that was not you (since you said witnessed), I would just encourage you to be cautious about the possibility of inadvertently and involuntarily getting the victim involved in any coverage…
