Just reading that was exhausting. I think I’m going to take a nap. Who’s with me?

My local transit uses cute animal cartoons to cover a wide range of poor bus/train behavior. Zero ‘sexism’ plus somebody got paid to draw that stuff!!

He’s not even manspreading! This gentleman has his knees directly out in front of him, his bag politely placed on his lap, his newspaper neatly folded, and he brought enough soft cheese to share, while being considerate enough to wrap it up so the smell doesn’t bother the whole car.
A model public transit passenger! A…

I’m okay with manspreading if the person brings enough cheese to share with everyone.

MANSPLAINERS 4 MANSPREADING

I read about this on a different site and. The details were kind of different. Like they weren't actually dating? They just slept together sometimes and it wasn't monogamous. Also that she admitted to having sex w another man around the time of conception which was what prompted the DNA test in the first place, not…

i feel like all of us have a little of Baby #1 and Baby #2 in us

It’s true, my mom and sisters would always go to a family owned salon for something like near ten years. We actually followed the same family around three cities and like five storefronts just to keep working with them! They watched us graduate high school, college, did our nails for prom even! It’s totally possible…

Between this and the lions I’m beginning to think Tippi Hedren was a pretty interesting woman. I’d love to see a Pictorial piece about her.

After reading some other replies, can I offer a suggestion? I don’t know how much services cost in different parts of the country, but take in with you the $20 or $10 bill you would use for a tip, roll it up, and hand it to the manicurist during the service so that you know she or he gets paid directly. The problem…

Every full moon, a little rabbit goes out into the garden and leaves a precious bundle of baby in exchange for some carrots. She leaves it under a little rock. In the morning, if the mommy wants to get pregnant, she holds the daddy’s hand and they go together to the rock, pull it up, and pick out their kid together.…

Baby 1: “We need to have a serious talk about your choices”

I was thinking about this after reading yesterday’s article. On Facebook before the NYT article broke, I learned a college friend’s mother started working with some of the women trained by Tippi Hedren’s efforts as a new immigrant. And I was thinking that they are kind of the classic “American Dream Success Story” and…

I will never get my nails done at a salon. Thanks to YouTube and all the tutorials out there it’s pretty easy to pick skills up. This is my second time using rhinestones.

[ .... ]an industry that has now essentially standardized ethnic difference between salon worker and customer; this ethnic difference, reading the NYT piece, struck me as an essential obscuring factor in terms of the customer’s unfair but frequent perception of their manicurist as fundamentally other, operating on…

This sounds... surprisingly reasonable and not exploitive at all. I mean, the kid seems to have fun with it, the mother isn’t forcing her or going full on stage mom and they’re putting her earnings into an account for college. I mean, I almost feel bad for being pleasantly surprised.

My question about the initial Times article was whether those labor practices were specific to the New York area or common across the country? Because manicures are much, much cheaper in New York than many other parts of the country. I lived in New York in the early ‘00s, and I remember when I moved (to Denver) being…

I was really upset to read that. Also sending to all my libertarian friends as an example of how self-regulation doesn’t work.
