I have two unionized jobs in the social services field and no lunch breaks. one of them, however, adds a half hour to every shift, and we usually do get to sit down and eat lunch but it’s not free time of any sort. The other one we get no break and no compensation for not doing so. I had a previous job where we…
My first thought was definitely “did they cut that out of someone’s intestine?” It is quite ugly, but I shan’t try to undermine the significance of its existence.
Exactly. If it’s not racism, why are people targeted simply for vaguely looking middle eastern or south Asian? Why do people assume that all people from X country are Muslim even if there is notable religious diversity? I even watched a Cut video where a guy declared that a woman probably wasn’t Muslim because she was…
Literally came down here to say this. Whatever beefs may exist within the royal family, they are all about presenting a unified front. What a stupid move this was.
I’m having a bit of a job related crisis. Actually, that might be over dramatic. But I recently (just over 6 months) moved to a new city with my s/o which has been rife with its own challenges (not having friends in this city, no family, dealing with lots of newness). I was able to find work in my field relatively…
My sister was diagnosed with BPD in her mid-20s after demonstrating symptoms for probably 10+ years. It frustrates me to see how stigmatized it is - I even had a university psych professor who in her brief description of BPD perpetuated pretty much every negative stereotype - manipulative, irrational, etc. It made me…
So all the dudes are in a hurry to protect Tambor by saying his behaviour is no more exceptional than any other normal shitty set behaviour, despite Walters REPEATEDLY interjecting and saying she did not have such interactions with her other cast mates. But I mean, how is she supposed to know about HER OWN…
Hey now, orangutans are some of the most intelligent primates! They can even play computer games! Maybe he’s related to those proboscis monkeys. They too honk loudly to get attention.
Eh... Kate’s dress was more my style *personally* but I thought Meghan’s dress was beautiful and modern, a perfect choice for their wedding. As was her reception gown. I sort of see what people are saying about the fit, but also, I don’t think it’s a big deal? I wouldn’t take fashion advice from Katy Perry in a…
I used to deal with this aaall the time and while it was sometimes awkward it didn’t kill me. I would sometimes tell them whoever handed me the card first was paying and ended it at that. In Canada it’s virtually unheard of now for credit cards to be swiped out of sight of the customer, so there’s a lot less of…
Seconding Comedians in Cars. While his episodes with comedians I especially enjoy have been, well, enjoyable, I find that elder Seinfeld can be unbearably smug and his disdain for the Common People is palpable in some episodes.
Not really one for hats nor fascinators, but Lady kitty Spencer (what a name!) is giving me life. What can I say? I love a coquettish veil (looking at you too, Posh Spice!)
Oh yes, this is true. I honestly always forget that school kids can technically get them. I am a smidge jealous that I was several years too early for gardasil to become part of the school vaccination schedule, cuz even in canadaland it’s treated like an elective vaccine for $$$ If you get it as an adult.
Yay I love this! I have very recently embarked on a houseplant journey. I started with a pothos (which is tragically thriving, so I need to repot, which is causing me STRESS), and have recently added an aloe, ZZ plant, and snake plant. Theoretically easy to take care of. I am really hoping it goes well because I do…
Haha this is actually a perfect idea for LWT...
Honestly, as much as I wish people were better informed about sexual health in general I am a lot more forgiving for the average joe to not know this than a business magnate turned president. I’m a front line worker myself so I’ve had to do my fair share of informing (but have also been gifted a wealth of knowledge…
Right? Sometimes I see public shaming situations and think, “you know, this has gotten out of hand.” This is not one of those times. On buzzfeed they’ve reported at least 4 cases where he’s behaved this way in public (including the ones mentioned above) so this is clearly a pattern of behaviour from him that he hasn’t…
So he is less informed than anyone who has seen a gardasil ad in the last ten years. Although maybe they’re not a sponsor on Fox News?
