if he was present at the scene of the crime he is a person of interest. It doesn’t mean he committed the crime (if there was one). It means he is someone the police or insurance investigators would be interested in talking to. While it is indeed a concierge’s job to be at the hotel where they work, being in the room…

I believe the subtext is that the Kardashian-Westeses paid Abdulrahman to say those words in order to influence the insurance investigation. The fact that he happened to be in the room during the robbery is curious and makes him a person of interest in what I feel sure the insurance company believe is a suspicious…

alert for a not so humble brag: I saw this at SXSL, and initially thought it to be a little ridiculous - focusing on Leo and the right wing attacks against his environmentalism. Self-conscious, self-righteous and self-serving all at the same time. But as I watched, I was impressed — good info, compelling narrative,…

i want to hang out with you guys. you make fun out of nothing (really!)

a reasonable point. I think the problem for me here is the literal meaning of disability. It isn’t presented as a variation — another way of doing something — but as an inability to do something. That said, handicapable makes me gag.

I peaced out of Game of Thrones and don’t play video games. But I was 16 when I read TA, so a bit more tender. Still, chopping off peoples hands and grinding up someone’s parents bones to make a crust for a quiche and feeding it to their children — that’s some dark shit. If that’s what I am in for in GoT, I don’t…

I am sorry I offended you. I am on your side. The medical world defining PTSD as a disability is helpful as it gets you access to meds and accommodations that make your life easier. But a quarter of all employers say they don’t want to hire someone with PTSD. That is the dark side of it — they see it as a disability…

LeSigh endorses this message. GenX KICKS ASS.

everyone needs a trigger warning for Titus Andronicus. Shakespeare was working out some serious shit in that one.

In my day the solution was telling people to put on their big girl panties.

world. dammit. world

i think it is the word who stigmatizes “disability” == something that makes you not able. Not being able is generally not what an employer, partner or someone else wants. But you’ve missed the point: it truly is not a disability. It i an ability to function in a high threat environment that has found itself with a…

I specifically hate the idea of PTSD being an illness or disability. It is an adaptive response to highly threatening situations. It is a survival mechanism; it is how people live through sustained danger. It is the nervous system learning it needs to be prepared. That’s not an illness, that’s a strength. In nearly…

Old person, here. I would have greatly appreciated a content warning on Titus Anronicus because that shit was stomach turning.

actually they were NOT designed to be outdoors which is why the canopies were built over them — to protect them from rain. Some numbnuts didn’t write all-weather escalators into the specs when they let the initial contract, and/or build canopies originally to protect them. They were al exposed to the elements for…
