Best of luck to you.  Do you have access to any resources or supports to help you?

What. The. Ever-loving. Fuck.

My first job was basically a cult. They recruited heavily at my college, emphasizing how smart and driven we were, and made it sound as though we’d be out there changing the world. The reality is that we were expected to raise a substantial part of our salaries by doing door-to-door canvassing, and they paid us so…

Nerdy as hell, but:

Are these idiots even useful?  I wouldn’t trust any of them to peel a potato.

I’m sure a lot of them convinced himself that it would be just like working in any other Republican administration.  Ha, ha, ha.

Anthony Scaramucci.

I’ve read at least a couple of articles suggesting that no one wants to hire them, so they may simply have no where else to go.  This White House has been such a marvel of incompetence that I can’t blame any prospective employers.  If As hire Bs, as the saying goes, anyone at the current White House has got to be a G…

No.

I used to make fun of my husband for not being able to tell them apart, but wow, they really do look alike.

I feel like this is a little unnecessarily judgy. It’s not like they said “Let’s find a gorgeous woman and have her breastfeed to show that it can be beautiful and glamorous” — the article makes it clear that she was already going to model in their show, and happened to be breastfeeding. She makes it look beautiful…

My pediatrician said that the “1 mom is responsible for feeding 1 baby” model is a relatively recent phenomenon. She had worked in a small rural community in South America where all of the lactating moms would take turns feeding the newborn while helping the new mom recover. So mom got a break while learning how to…

How do we get one of these in the US?

This happened to me on a camping trip in Utah. I was there with a group of fellow students, and we left our rental van parked at the trailhead while we camped for a few days. When we came back, we discovered that the car wouldn’t go faster than 20 miles an hour. It turned out that every electrical component had been…

We did! So I should note that all the kids in our study received some breastmilk; there’s just no way to ethically have a study where you mandate that some parents breastfeed and some parents use formula. (And you can’t compare parents who plan to use formula to parents who plan to breastfeed, either, because there…

If anyone has any questions about the relative benefits of breastfeeding vs. formula, I’ve worked on a research project studying this very topic for the past 6 years.  Happy to answer any questions you may have.

I’m going to find a Sephora, pull the security shutters down behind me, and pour myself a bath of SKII products.

This is an interesting article that suggests that he took less money than he could potentially have earned, and also that he was pretty terrible with money.

My gut says the same, with no proof whatsoever.

$1.2 million is a respectable amount. Bourdain may have been on TV, but the travel budgets for his shows must have been enormous.  It’s not as though he was Jennifer Aniston and making $1 million/episode for a studio comedy.
