“You want [teachers] to coach a team, you want them to teach all day, you want them to be a faculty advisor, you want them to be able to give your kid extra help before school, after school—whenever,” says Kelly Henderson, who teaches in a wealthy Boston suburb. “We’re constantly forced to make that choice: Do I stay…

Maybe these religious organizations should start paying some taxes before they think they can decide what is and isn’t covered by health care.

Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

Someone come get your Woke Bae ;)

Unmarried does not mean single or uninvolved.

I was thinking the same thing. For years black people talking about these situations were put off as paranoid and conspiracy minded. Too angry to be rational, too upset to think clearly, because this could NEVER happen. The government would NEVER do such a thing. It’s too far fetched. Too manical. But here you have…

That’s true but she’s also bearing all the stress of: how will I pay the rent, the bills, buy food, get new clothes, pay for a tutor etc. On TOP of all the emotional and menial labor of organizing a child’s day to day life. So there’s a lot of joy to be sure but a lot of anxiety and fear no doubt compounded by having…

Thank you. Everyone is always talking about Tootie...Tootie, Tootie, Tootie. Regine would have slayed. No doubt. She should have put on that persona and let loose.

Yeah, that part really stuck with me. And I cannot believe his ex-wife was like, “What do you know about this guy?” and felt that was a reasonable argument. The fact that he doesn’t know him speaks volumes, right? My dad met my stepdad fairly early on (basically, when my mom was ready to introduce him to her family)…

A friend of mine who worked in support enforcement says part of the problem is how many non-custodial parents don’t see it as child support, but money they’re being forced to pay that bitch.

So the first time you actually have a parent of color write a parenting article for jez and you choose a black man who won’t pay child support.

When my daughter’s father dicked me over with the child support, I took an administrative job in a showroom and unbeknownst to me, one of my duties was to walk their mangy old dog. I hate dogs. Their dog was old and smelly. Ugly too. You best believe I walked that motherfucker and picked up his shit everyday. Fuck yo…

I have two major takeaways from this:

“Yeah tell us something we don’t know.”

If your comments have made half the people you lead feel like you view their contributions as unimportant, I feel like your ability to lead is severely impaired. Executives leave positions like this all the time - your people have to have confidence in you or you’re no longer able to do your job. It’s a…

Just once in my life I want to enter a room like Vanessa Williams!

I think that being able to tip outrageously like that would be one of the best parts of being wealthy. Also, seeing Hamilton.

The ones who tip well are usually those who have experienced not having money before. My brother is a bartender at a nice restaurant and man have I seen some country club looking kids skimp on the tip.

Atelier is so good. A Fuji/Netflix production about life working in a small designer lingerie shop. Great female leads. Cute story. A little bit of romance. It is in Japanese so you might want to turn subtitles on.

Michael Pena was fucking EXCELLENT and is half the reason I’m dying to see the second movie.
