Kickstarter is only for creative projects. If the couple are architects then maybe...

OMG I love Tasha Tudor.

That's precisely the correct response from the cleaners. Make that fool clean up his own shit. It's not their job to be treated that way just because "there's a cleaning lady."

If you look at the actual videos from specific I'm Shmacked events (not just the big, multischool edits) they look really pathetic and have a lot of filler that's just driving by scenic locations on the campuses.) The selective editing is really doing A LOT for these people. I dunno. These videos just seem so...…

SO, the thing with governing bodies like the NFL is that they get to set their own standards. Like a University can expel a student for plagiarism. Is it academically dishonest? Yes. Is it likely to send the student to jail and lead to any kind of legal conviction? In most cases, absolutely not. The NFL can take a…

Claude Nicolas Ledoux - "Oikema" -architectural drawing for a brothel in the shape of, well, you know.

When they are young, and systematically disempowered by situations such as this as well as being a minor who is not able to defend themselves entirely, then yes it is your job to protect the child. Part of protecting one's child is also empowering them to protect themselves as soon as they are able so they're ready…

FYI - it's generally considered rude to ask about someone's genitals and what surgeries they have had, including when that person is trans. Andreja has apparently been public about some of her medical treatments and procedures... anyone who chooses to make it public knowledge will let you know. But overall, when you…

When he initiates, he gets consent. When I initiate, I get consent. When we first started dating, we were both very careful to get direct, enthusiastic verbal consent. That established trust. Now that we've known each other a long time, we understand nonverbal signals but often also ask "Is this okay?" I'm really…

Haha. In my group of friends, it's almost like the dudes are having this sort of macho competition about who can be the best dad. Who posts the most photos of baby? Who takes the cutest selfies of their partner and baby? My partner is always texting photos of himself hanging out and playing with his friends' kids,…

http://bigthink.com/videos/robert-… Here is video evidence of a leading architect with both substantial hiring power and academic power saying exactly that. VIDEO. EVIDENCE.

So your secretary requires a ton of extensive, specialized training to be a secretary? At a law firm? That does sound unusual!

None of us are saying that "nothing changes." What we are saying is that businesses need to get real about the basic needs of human life. For example, business as we know it in cities today couldn't even have existed before the development of high-rise elevator buildings with air conditioning and indoor plumbing, not…

So what you're saying is that you don't know how to run a business and have a contingency plan in place for when employees need to take extended leave.

Yeah, it's like how companies will post ads like "Must be able to lift 50 lbs."

I once had a job at a major educational institution that involved working with chemicals. Women were not allowed to hold the higher levels of this job, because basically, higher level = more responsibility/contact with certain chemicals that were known to cause birth defects. That seemed fair enough. I didn't get the…

I haven't heard that, but I've heard "She's married to a really rich guy, which has pros and cons... we don't need to offer her a high salary because she doesn't need the money. But she might get sick of it and quit at any time because she doesn't need the money or the job."

Yeah all the dudes I know who have kids are really into being active participatory fathers. The ones who had such fathers know now what a gift it was, and the ones who didn't... know better.

So what you're saying is that you work in an industry that doesn't attract top level people, only the general mediocre/incompetent people who can't get work anywhere more competitive. Right? I mean, there's nothing at all wrong with being an average person making an average decent living and not wanting to be the top…

Wow. I have dropped clients because they were racist and fatphobic. My bottom line wasn't hurt. Shockingly enough, those were also always the clients who required the most nudging for payment on their always late invoices, and who were rude and a hassle to deal with. Now, I can use "I don't work with people whose…
