I don’t want to be pedantic, but he technically and very famously hurtled out of the grave. It’s kind of his thing.

He discusses the fact that an “air-tight” investigation is somewhat impossible with child sexual abuse, since there’s typically no material evidence and there are few, if any, witnesses. It’s usually “he-said-she-said.” And he acknowledges that these men were CHILDREN when these crimes occurred, and there may be…
Woman’s pain gets in the way of man’s ego; man soldiers on. This story and more on News at 9.
Stuffings and dressings are a blank canvas upon which each of us creates our own personal design. There are so many ways to make it, that whenever I hear complaints about it being boring or tasteless, I automatically relegate that writer to the ‘waste heap of ill-considered opinions by unimaginative people’ who…
No one should be forced to minimize their own role in a collaborative effort, just as no one should claim sole credit for work that is done in collaboration. The issue is not with Antonoff, but with the media coverage of him.
Hey, hey. Here’s an idea: When a sick misogynist who has already got his “true story, no ghosts or italics” rape-fantasy-of-a-woman-who-posts-on-kinja-(just like you, Jez reader!) fic deleted by the powers that be (thank you very much, powers that be)... let’s not star him when he goes on to post “another true story,…
Roughly 1/3 of Dear Prudie letters can be summarized as follows “Dear Prudie, my parents were horrible to me while I was growing up. I had kids, and they continue to be horrible to me, but now it’s in front of my kids. How do I tell them to quit being horrible people and quit saying shitty things?” Answer: you can’t…
Yes. My mother who watched motionless while my stepfather pushed my head underwater repeatedly and backed him up through all his years of cruelty has no place in my child’s life. Let alone him.
I never would have cut off contact with my mom if I hadn’t had babies. I reached a point where I said to my sister, “I don’t care about the current drama with her, because I am not a daughter anymore. I’m a mother.”
My baby solidified my already hard stance on my in-laws, who are trolls.
Where can I find “Look at Me”? I looked back a few years, but couldn’t find it and would love to read it.
Yup. This was my point to my mom, and she was just in disbelief that I could map out my life just in case something happened to my husband or marriage. I find if baffling that she *doesn’t* think this way, given the fact that all of my grandparents are divorced (some multiple times), and the grandmother that’s…
I dont know. Here we have 60 weeks in total, that can be split between the mother and the father to a ratio that suit them. It’s not offered by the company (the first 8 weeks are actually, but it’s mandatory) but by the gorvement (52 weeks), so everyone can benefit from it. This apply to every parents (same sex or…
hi! I work here (MS, shhhh don’t tell anyone), and I more often than not I’ve found people to be really respectful of your time away from work. I’ve had coworkers take large chunks (weeks) of time off for both parenting reasons, and personal. No firings or letting go for taking part of your compensation package. (and…
Yeah, I said that above. It kind of bothered me that a few months ago there were all these think pieces about Emma Stone, and not a single one about Joaquin Phoenix who is far more established as an actor. Some people jumped all over me when I wrote about this a while ago on a different website, but I’m not trying to…
One of the things that gives me hope is that I know Emma Thompson also signed that petition supporting Polanski. And when a she was approached by a university student in the UK who gave her more information about the Polanski case and gently asked her to reconsider her position, she—being the excellent person that she…
Sure,
This? This is nothing in comparison to learning that Kate Winslet is a Roman Polanski supporter. That’s the fucking heartbreak motherlode.
Thank fuck that my great aunt left me a set of professional pans (all-clad). Had it been something like this, I would have left it at my ex husband’s and never looked back. ick. And my sympathies.
