It’s just two people connecting, with four other people, and aliens.
I will be like 38 weeks pregnant and newly on leave when this comes out.
I’m going to have a great day.
“The principal told Love that it wasn’t anything personal”
Having worked in Human Resources for a huge tech firm for nearly eight years, this has been life every day, for myself and for many of my clients who are women. And I’m just a powerless cog in the machine who, despite my best efforts, can accomplish nothing to stop it, it seems. I’m currently working to leave my role…
I work for a big utility company in a technical position, and I am one of 6 women in a group of over 30 people. The majority of the company’s 23,000 employees are male, and the overwhelming majority of women in the company work in administrative support, clerical, or other non-technical roles. The culture can be…
The first example to come to mind:
Ah, yes. When I was hired, the job description said X amount of money. I got less then X, tried to negotiate, and was told in a year I would be bumped up. In a year, I got rave performance reviews and told I was doing everything perfectly. However, all of a sudden, “Nobody gets raises or promotions” before 2 years.…
I edit a beer magazine so me and the SO go to beer bars and breweries quite a lot. Every single time the bartender will strike the conversation up with my SO about beer styles, trends, etc. and he’ll have to gesture over to me with while saying “I dunno, I don’t know much about beer. She’s the editor of xxyy magazine.…
I'd like to point out for any one selfish or self-concerned enough to not really care about the servers themselves or their wages, but in a place with heavy sidework odds are that you are actually getting shittier service than you would otherwise.
Everyone is different. I, for example, have never had a child. And aside from initial discomfort (1-2 days of cramps), haven't had any problems with my IUD.
Oh, I have a wonderful example of this in action. I'm at work. Myself and the other women in the office start feeling weird. Headaches, dizziness, etc. We think we can smell gas. We become concerned. The men are all "whatever, you are all crazy". This goes on for a couple hours. We are feeling really gross. The men…
"I think in her book, she wrote that WOC were at fault for the crazy beauty standards women have to follow (big lips, butts, etc), so that's one thing."
I found the 'Iron Eagle' thing funny—my FIL is a Native (raised on the res), and was in the Air Force—and it's EXACTLY the kind of joke he would make. The problems people are having with this show, IME, is that satire, for many, is dead. My guess is that many of those 'offended' are NOT the POC, LGBT folk, but…
Thank you for posting that. I haven't seen this show yet but having been active in Native communities before, I always pro "ask an Native person" about this kind of thing. White people really like to be offended on their behalf but most of the Native people I've known have a really great (and often dark) sense of…
I'm Navajo and I loved this show. While I cannot comment on how the Asian community thinks of Dong, I feel pretty strongly about the Native American arc. In the third episode where Mrs. Vorhees parents are introduced, I died. I thought they captured a part of Native Americans that I don't see in media: our sense of…
There's a later episode where Jacqueline's parents come to visit and her dad says something about "flying in the great iron eagle - just kidding. I know what a plane is. I was in the Air Force!" which…I think was actually kinda great. I'll go so far as to say that a lot of people think that all Native Americans live…
Netflix runs a show featuring not one heterosexual cis white male lead? Pick it apart, it had a few uncomfortable moments!
