My husband used his two weeks of paid vacation for the year. I’m grateful he was able to do that because I know a lot of women whose husbands went back to work right away or took a couple days at most. 6 weeks paternity leave would be amazing.

The truly fucked-up part is that even at companies which offer paid leave, many people do not take very much of it to avoid being perceived as “lazy” or “not a team player”, and thus being passed over for promotions and raises. My company offers a month of paid leave for dads, but one of my coworkers who’s having a…

I work at a small business, family owned for generations. If they even let a father take time for paternity leave (which they fuckin wouldn't) they'd make fun of him for the rest of his days. My dad raised 3 of us, single fathers get no love at all. This whole situation sucks, and so many other countries have it more…

I think I got the day my son was born off and the day after. Then it was back on the road for three weeks. No wonder my wife had postpartum depression.

Thanks! :)

I just want to clarify that the initial SJC ruling wasn’t that the act was “legal” per-se, but that the law the case was brought under did not cover the type of photography that was at issue. It’s a semantic thing, but it’s actually an important distinction. The Court ruled as they did because if they had not, they…

Yeah, and they killed Star Trek before so...do you really want them back at it?

But nearly everyone involved with “Old Trek” is dead.

Please be about space and science and exploration and idealism, and not just explosions.

That happens A LOT where I live. It gets so dark and stays dark for SOOO long in the winter and it really disorients people

I don’t know if any of that has substantiating evidence to go with it, but I will tell you people were stupid as shit today. A goodly number of people didn’t even realize the time change.

I hate Daylight Savings Time with every fiber of my being.

It’s because you’ve basically made every person in the society jetlagged, and they are tired and hit things with their cars, etc.

Fiorina is to women, what closeted gay men republican politicians (who support anti-gay legislation) are to gay men.

I think I love you.

Half the assholery, but three times the self-righteousness!

of course they will be! they are going to lecture you about the blood diamond ring you have on and request their non fat latte be made with purified, peacock tears instead of water.

hahaha oof, i’ve offended some coffee drinkers here. i thought about it and i think they’d be the exact same level of asshole.

I’m pretty sure they would be extra assholey.

I grew up in South Carolina so I think I’ve got a good handle on what does and does not constitute being a slave. Something about making at least $8 million over 12 years, not including endorsement deals, doesn’t really strike me as slavery. Suck it up, dude, and while you’re at it pick up my fucking club.
