I get what you’re saying. I’m fat and a very basic dresser. Jeans and tees. Black pants and bright polos. I like little details so the bright, busy patterns and glittery stuff isn’t me. I do think that a lot of stores and designers go for bright and flashy as a way of bucking the idea that plus size clothes should be…

These are cute but I just can’t get with the prints. I’m not a beach or pool person though so these aren’t for me anyway. I just love the fact that plus size women have more options clothing wise.

I would totally wear that. Not the suit though. Maybe with a fancy black shirt

Sadly the first thing that popped into my head is that employees probably never suspected her of being a thief because she’s a cute white woman wearing athleisure clothes.

And comfortable. That makes all the difference when you’re doing all of that bending and kneeling and tying people people up. Thievery is a workout

It depends. I’m salaried and usually goof off at my desk while eating because the lunch room is crowded and I don’t want to listen to the stories or ID channel while I eat. At my previous job, I was salaried but my supervisor liked to keep an eye on how much time people took for lunch breaks and would issue warnings…

Unless you work completely independently in an office by yourself, the overall work environment does impact you. It’s not about being friends with your coworkers or even liking them and it’s not about whether your co-workers are personally happy or not. It’s about maintaining and benefiting from a relatively stable,…

Which pretty much justifies companies giving people very little time to eat. If you want lunch, bring it, eat it at your desk, and be glad for it. I know that’s probably not what you’re saying but I think you’re making some specific assumptions, namely that everyone has the ability to store/heat up food at their jobs…

At least one supervisor was in on it and, unfortunately, complaints just aren’t the much of a priority with the Housing Authority unless they want them to be. The residents who refused to have sex with workers were likely badmouthed by guy she refused and her complaints basically went into the circular file.

I love the coat, too. It looks warm and I like how the star field design is eye catching but not ridiculous.

Don’t feel bad. I’m considering the scarf. Sometimes the heart wants what it wants.

Unless it’s got some interesting tattooing, piercing, or foreskin going on, I’m pretty sure I’m only going to pay close attention if I’m going to be using it. Otherwise, it’s a just a tube of stretchy flesh with a hole in one end. Actually, I’d probably laugh. Penises are funny.

Seriously! No one is forcing you to stand there and look. You don’t want to see it? Turn your fucking head, lady.

Right there with you, Adele. That’s what my face looked like second round of inch worms Tuesday night.

I think I’m missing something here. Is the purpose to show how unique and beautiful the African women are? Because that can be done just by showing the original portraits. Or is it more of a we are all one, culture jam sort of thing? I kind of feel like the actual blackface pushes it into uncomfortable to outright…

Whether they are direct employees or contractors, they should be paid for their work. If they want to, the NFL and the outside agency can negotiate terms for better pay, profits from merchandising, etc... The question is whether they see the value in doing so.

Some people view harm reduction as giving the societal thumbs up to drug use. Their views tend to be very black and white - drugs are bad and no one should use them. . The reality is that some people are going to use and that it’s better to try to cut down on other risks such as communicable diseases as much as…

Cornrows just look painful. I’m what folks like to call tender headed and just having my hair plaited was painful enough. Even now, with it twisted, it can get painful when my hair person really gets going. I can’t imaging sitting still for someone to tightly braid my hair some close to my head like that.

I know that there’s a lot involved but, like a lot of creative and athletic fields, it does’t always going to be a money maker for the person doing the hard work. Cheerleading, dancing, acting, modeling, any sport that isn’t baseball, basketball, or football (in the U.S.) - all take hard work but not everyone is going…

I always thought that was the case. Not to run down the athleticism and skill required but, ultimately, it’s a seasonal, part-time job. I think that they should get paid for their work and should be able to share in the profits from promotional items like calendars but i don’t get the sense that just being an NFL…
