YES!!! Out of grad school my husband (then boyfriend) and I both interviewed for the same job. They offered it to me first and I turned it down because I ended up with a better offer elsewhere. Then they offered it to their second choice, my husband, at a higher salary. Ugh -I might have taken it at the salary they…

I love you. And i love this — briefly dated (was banging)

Exactly. Even my mother thinks that way. When I said something about my friend not getting a promotion, my mom said, “Well, I’m not surprised. Who wants to hire someone who keeps having a kid every couple of years?”

This goes for any job staffed by the powerless, those without leverage, or status.

Yes, we need to stop looking for complicated ways to close the wage gap . The way already exists : make equal pay for equal work the law and then make salaries at least keep up with inflation.

As a soon-to-be doctor in the UK, it doesn’t surprise me that the idea to essentially cut junior doctors pay by fiddling with overtime/unsocial hours has happened just as far more women are entering the profession, particularly in the younger and upcoming generations.

“The reverse was true when a job attracted more men.”

I NEED TO GET SOMETHING OFF MY CHEST

Can’t wait to see this. And now I want to reread everything, but especially Heartburn. I’m guessing my perspective on it at 50 is going to be different from what it was at 25! To this day, however, I try to say “that’s rich. That’s really rich” whenever possible.

Great interview!

I still have to read the photo captions. One day maybe I will recognize her. But she need not feel bad. It happens with a surprisingly high number of actresses and actors. Maybe I should see a doctor.

That’s the most ridiculous thing I ever hoid. ;)

“I don’t want to be on any bill that would have me as a portait.”

Yeah, I live in CA and every person I've known who has had an abortion went to her OBGYN and was prescribed a pill and that was it

Federalist is almost an auto-antonym. It means both itself and its opposite.

HEY NOW. Grant was an excellent general. Not the best of presidents, but an amazing military commander. He basically failed at everything his life and then proved to be a great commander. Leave him alone. Jackson should get the boot.

Momjeans and scrunchie bonfire at my place this weekend. You’re all invited!

Fuck that, I walk a mile+ to work and back every day, I have to have my NB or I’d literally die, on the street, latte in hand, and homeless people would pee on me.

Love this. Also, I’ve been ironically normcore with a dash of prepcore ever since I got a realcore jobcore.

kafkjaejikj I just stopped trying and I’m so late on trends. I swear living in Oakland, I can’t keep up with the cool kids on anything. I am always an app behind and some local dj called me a hipster two-months ago when I gave him a ride home in my car. Really I’m just poor with my $20 zenni glasses. Everyone is a…
