Fuck Chris Brown.

So long as we’re talking Michael Bay horror stories, his treatment of Kate Beckinsale was pretty bloody awful. When he hired her for Pearl Harbor, he did so only on the condition that she lose weight and get a personal trainer despite the fact that she’d just given birth to her daughter. Then he made comments…

MICHAEL BAY. He does this all the time as auditions: he made one female lead come over to his home and wash his car while he watched, and he drove another out into the dessert in skimpy clothes, and watched her walk and sweat in the heat. A few women have disclosed their experiences publicly.

The thing that is (currently) killing me about the career shift is being told that it all comes down to networking. “Reach out! Just ask for things!” You’re not getting in the door anywhere unless someone hands your resume to HR.

In the last few years, I’ve had it with the bullshit narrative I grew up with: work your ass off in school to get into a top college, do well at said top college = success! I basically gave up my childhood to be the good girl and its gotten me squat. I was in school until I was 25 and have a degree from a top 10…

I worked on a scholastic web show with Taylor Swift and she sat down with 6 middle schoolers and live streamed to two schools in other parts of the country and she was the nicest, most genuine celebrity I had ever interacted with. I can’t stand KP. #teamtaylor4eva

Same here! Don’t know her. Never met her. Will never know or meet her, but damnnit she did good work on shining a light on domestic violence. She deserves a little something good for what she endured.

She might be trading one abusive narcissist for another one. Musk’s first wife wrote an article that was less than flattering about how emotionally abusive he was. Then there’s the marriage/divorce merry-go round he had with his British actress wife so stability is clearly not something he’s capable of.

Yeah, I kind of feel like Amber won the breakup with Johnny Depp BIG TIME.

There really is something very sexy about Elon Musk but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is.

I REGRET NOTHING.

slash fiction

There’s no one more intense about how a particular universe is supposed to play out than fanfiction authors, slash fiction in particular, and EL James is the most successful slash fiction author of all time, so....

Most problematic was the unusual control that the author,

Not clear on where you are (since you mentioned working on a second language) but asking personal questions in an interview is a major NOPE in the US.

Some women in managerial positions feel like they need to be “tough” to be taken seriously. As “tough” as the guys. In other words, an asshole. And some men managing these women think it’s just great. Don’t take the job if it’s offered to you. She is way out of line to ask personal questions. Bullet dodged.

Well, interviews are also for you to see if you want to work with them so . . . maybe that’s not the right boss for you. If she reacted that strongly to one little thing you said, good riddance. And she’s wrong anyway. I’ve had both good and bad female and male bosses. There’s no rule about who is more difficult…

Try spaghetti!

If I remember correctly, the guy conducting the interview was a Navy vet, and he phrased his question something like “So what part of the E5 test did you fail?” and I answered “Well, the Marines don’t promote based on a test like the Navy does, but I don’t run very fast so that’s hurt my cutting score some.” The…

Hey, Jezzies! It’s been a good, weird week. The internship I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do has come through after all, and I’m leaving for Barbados in a week! I have to prep everything for ten weeks out of the country in the next seven days, which is just crazy. I told the guy I was into (I had told him a…
