Rooting for you, but just to calm your nerves, the jobs that I had in public service/government/public school settings all took the longest to get back to me. The delay is no indicator of whether or not you got the job, it’s just a function of how slow the internal processes are in these institutions. I would project…

I’m so so sorry.  The loss of a mom is incredibly difficult.  My heart goes out to you.  

Wuh ha hoooo, whoah there. Let’s not equate college graduation rates with intelligence when we’re living in a country with MASSIVE economic barriers to those who would like a higher education (and can’t afford it). You can grasp complex topics and learn a lot on your own without the degree - a degree by and large…

You’re not a grumpy old lady - you’re a perceptive human. I hate these kinds of corporate mind games. I’ve been through many, and it’s always so transparent, yet they treat employees like they’re weirdos for suspecting foul play on the part of management. I don’t trust that you’ll get a bonus if you do extra/more, so…

I don’t like to blame the artists for the rabid fans they get and the co-opting of their images. So I don’t hold Gwen responsible for the alt-right’s use of her. And the 40's hair/makeup was specifically a rockabilly thing rather than a “the 40's were great for women, that’s our place!” type of thing.

Thank you!  Can’t wait to make these.

Same!  Also I woke up this morning with “...and worship your feet....and worship your feet....”

This is an amazing resource and you are incredible!  Thank you, I would like to pass this on to some friends who need it.  <3

Yesssss!  I absolutely love these!  And me and my always-dating bff constantly sing several of these.  

I knew Trump was going to win when he started to be a favorite during the primaries. I spent the whole summer with an impending sense of doom, while my friends kept telling me that it was going to be all right, and that no way could Trump win an election. I do not cherish being right about that.  When Michael Moore…

I read this sentence: “and everyone at the outset is bullish on projections.” as “and everyone at the outset is bullishit on projections.”

recipe por favor?

Weirdly, I really liked the gumminess.  Something about the chew just made it more fun.  

This is such a good idea. Passing it on to my ink-obsessed relatives who’ve made a few bad tattoo choices they regret now.  

Yes, and you’re actually able to deduct less, so overall, you’re paying more, period.  It’s not just an issue of “not withholding enough”.  Even withholding more, me (and many people like me) are paying more in taxes, percentage-wise, then we used to be.  And it’s garbage.  

Laughing at some of the delightful parts of your story. Example: I enjoy “toenail” for Tomi. Also, the orange anus and his evil minions. Perfect description.

We might need you in the apocalypse.  

I’m usually able to skip past it, but it’s gotten to the point now where it’s being shoved in my face and it’s harder to ignore. Example in my op is when some trump stranger tags me in a space where they wouldn’t normally be (like, jezebel is not the place for trump fans, and why would they bother hanging out and…

Who else feels like they’ve gone from a relatively calm person (pre-election), to a person who can be enraged in milliseconds?
