Piranha Plant's saved articles

I just stumbled across a Kat Von D lipstick that’s from 2009! 

Oldest one in my current rotation is the OG Urban Decay Naked palette. I bought it ~5/6 years ago, use it on the reg, and it’s still not depleted (although some of the colors are almost all pan at this point). 

I don't know what the heavy items are like in the warehouses, Mexador says those are handled elsewhere. I doubt Sears handled the volume or prodded the speed that Amazon does, but I suspect in many places the treatment is the same. 

Dig Deep works to provide clean water to Americans; they’re supported by several Native individuals I follow. Read more

Kiva is great. Thanks for the reminder that I need to get on there and redonate because I’ve had some repayments! Read more

Thanks for posting this, Piranha! I’ve been really interested in the idea of microloans but didn’t know which orgs are best. Read more

I love Kiva! I only ever had one loan default too. It was in the Philippines in an area hit hard by the hurricane several years ago. Read more

“When my mom worked for the federal government she said it was complicated and hard to fire people so problem workers would be promoted out to become someone else’s problem.” Read more

I just read this after having worked a 10 hour day today because we had half our department quit as well as the operations woman. I’m dealing with a double whammy of being senior in my department and now the only woman in my company -the ONLY ONE- who has worked there more than 2 months. My boss is shook by the… Read more

Unfortunately, in a twisted way it makes sense to operate like this for an organisation. Read more

My life in a nutshell. It is hard to be competent sometimes and we don’t get rewarded enough for it. I am sorry you were competency’s victim today. 

Pretty much why I have to find a new job after about four years. They keep piling shit on until I just can’t take it anymore then find something else. 

They have always been deeply incompetent when dealing with scandal. Years ago when Sophie was caught talking shit about her royal in-laws, the Palace thought it was a good idea for her to do an interview. The lead headline ending up being that “my Edward is not gay”.

There’s a huge difference between killing your son and killing your ex-daughter in law, so, while I don’t buy into conspiracies, I don’t think that’s proof of anything either.

I.... truly don’t know what I missed or what I said wrong. I’m sorry- it seems like I offended you and that’s not what I meant to do at all. My point is just some people LIKE taking this responsibility or challenge on themselves, it’s not an obligation! I can guarantee you there are no assumptions about you or the… Read more

I feel like this is one of those things that’s impossible to explain unless you are that type of person. Being a good hostess or bringing something great.... it’s just not great unless you’re able to adapt to fit the needs of those eating it. There’s no joy in bringing the worlds greatest dish and watching people’s… Read more

Imagine having the idea for a tattoo and THAT being the idea.

Honestly 30% of images sounds like a hassle, but certainly not the End of Astronomy. I understand that things are only going to get worse, but that sounds entirely manageable. Read more

I agree, actually. At this point we're just running out the clock. 

Unsurprising blue wave in Philly, but they are saying it was a record breaking turnout for an off year! We kept our dem mayor (not a surprise we haven’t had a republican mayor since 1952, but he didn’t even campaign). We got our first ever third party candidate elected to city council (Working Families Party)! Big… Read more
