While I can’t speak for every single person who works for our company, because surely there are bad apples in every corporation, I have never once heard of any employee of our company doing this to anyone. I promise you, we will never “inspect” you. You’re not a creature for us to evaluate. When I prep a client’s…

Mr. Rogers said to look for the helpers. You are one.

And now I’m tearing up. I’ve had employees at makeup stores make me feel wonderful before, so as one of these great people—thank you.

I would have very sweetly and without a hint of bitchiness in my voice said, “Well, I’m the expert here, and I think she’d look beautiful in this lipstick. I bet her sister will be super jealous!” But we have a lot of leeway at our store when it comes to ish like that.

I heard a radio story about happiness and purpose at work. The researchers premise was that people who are happiest at work do not view their job as the assigned tasks, they look for the deeper meaning (e.g. They interviewed hospital maintenance staff, some of whom viewed their job in the light of providing a…

The girl said she hasn’t left her bed in months except when she needs to use the bathroom. That’s a pretty clear sign that she’s not being treated, as any treatment for a problem that severe would involve (at minimum) regular doctors appointments.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, and also for being someone who cares.

From Talking Points Memo, one of the protesters being identified:

I don’t know if I worked at the same cosmetics shop with a black and white theme, but when I did at mine, often there were older heavier clients who felt like they ‘didn’t deserve’ to feel good in their skin, because fat. I too liked to show them that they *did* deserve to feel good in their skin, their hair, and have…

Thank you, <3

People like you make the world a vastly better place.

They were looking for a fight. They wanted it, they incited it.

You are lovely and wonderful, and made a difference in peoples lives.

I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

I spent my internship at a DV agency and we always had specialized trainings for cosmetologists. Oftentimes, abuse victims and people with severe depression will not only open up to their stylists, but the stylists will often see bruises and cuts from abuse and self harm that may be hidden by hair. We always gave them…

Aside from the obvious horrors one of the things things that really gets me about this is that you have Nazis ostensibly showing up for a “protest” or “rally”. But you don’t show up for a protest or rally with riot shields and weapons. They expected to meet counter protests with violence. They were looking for a…

Deandre, I’m so sorry these hateful pieces of shit did this to you.

I always thought “doxxing” applied only to giving out personal contact info of a person who is being harassed on the internet so they can be further harassed and victimized in other facets of their lives, not just the internet. Calling out Nazis doesn’t fit the definition of “doxxing”. They are the perpetrators, not…

They are so emboldened, they don’t even feel the need to hide their faces anymore. This is the part I cannot get over. This is where we are in 2017.

Denying a permit to terrorists isn’t denying free speech. If ISIS or Hamas wanted to march, we would rightly say no. It’s time for the power structure to acknowledge these motherfuckers are terrorists. Although there have been decades of evidence already and it hasn’t happened yet.
