I remember reading that and another one of his books. His dad actually sounds like he was a genuinely good person even if he struggled with money - he mentioned that his dad went into public education because he found out that the local schools were failing a certain number of non-white students every year, so that…

Real rich people never tell you how they make/keep/spend their money.

I don’t want to hear anybody say that this is an accident. I’m sick of the excuse of stupidity or ignorance to be used to defend this administration’s actions (“Trump’s too stupid to know it is a Nazi symbol, yada yada yada). Even if say Trump really didn’t know, he is not operating alone in the White House. He has…

“Instead, point out how boring it is to think people should be punished if they don’t conform. How tedious it is to think that the contours of your own thought enclose all that is worth knowing. How embarrassing it is to be cruel.”

Anyone that has a sobbing meltdown over waiting for fast food needs to have their gun removed and to have their fitness for duty evaluated. 

Love that she snuck in there that she did the mobile order so other people wouldn’t “pay for her stuff.” You know you’re in a trod-upon profession when people are always offering to pay for your shit. 

I love how Hollis makes her “rags-to-riches” story sound completely driven by plucky gumption, a positive attitude, and a bag full of nickels.

There is a reason Rachel Hollis is big with pyramid scheme bossbabes, she just echos the same basic platitudes that they are all being fed by their uplines as they go further into debt.

I forget what article mentioned this, but she DID NOT want to come back. Apparently she was only paid $400 per episode. Not entirely clear on these details: tried doing a pitch where she investigated/presented foods from all the countries of Africa and Bon Appetit tabled it.

Lots of us viewers kept commenting on the channel that we wanted more of Hawa Hassan. It fell on deaf ears.

They posted a BLM statement on their YouTube channel community page, saying they weren’t going to post any content for a week and that their stars were boosting creators of color on their individual channels. Only a few responses called them out for not having more Black on-screen talent. The one Black woman that…

My one experience with Condé Nast was a weird one. I was brought in to interview for some entry level position and met with an editor (I don’t remember what division). After our meeting was done, I was told the publisher wanted to meet with me. I was sent into a big, fancy office where I was promptly told “Forget…

They’re looking for a lot of people with [an] Ivy League education and a lot of people of color and black people don’t have that because Ivy League educations are really just like an indication of class more than anything else...

I only know the food side of it, but I’ve hard a lot of the same problems exist on the journalism side. Like, getting a good job generally means you worked a lot of unpaid internships or horribly compensated spots to “build your resume” in a way that a lot of people just can’t afford to do.

We’ll know if the Queen paid off the debt because there will be a whole slew of new photos of William’s and Kate’s kids in the media.

Fuck these people. They had doctors and others advise them against the adoption because of the severity of his needs, which they used to monitize themselves. The first three years of a child’s life are so important for development, I can’t imagine what removing him from his siblings and environment is going to do to…

I’d go even further. It’s not that he won’t grow, though of course he won’t. It’s not even that he can’t, though of course he cannot. It’s that he was put in charge specifically because he won’t or can’t grow.

I know this is a petty complaint and there are 100 worse things that these awful people did, but also- fuck them for naming this poor kid Huxley.

He’s effectively resigned as president. He still occupies the White House and appoints far-right justices, but he’s no longer even pretending to lead the country, and he hasn’t for the past couple of months.

This is one of those moments where the phrase “class war” becomes as literal as it can get. It’s also the moment where the governing class’ typical strategy to deflect from class warfare (namely, divide and conquer) becomes as transparently obvious as it can be.
