I’ve been pleasantly surprised, too. It’s refreshing to have someone in the White House who’s actually interested in doing his job again.

One thing I think a lot of schools/parents miss is that while in the US when we say ‘The Holocaust,’ we tend to mean the Nazi genocide perpetrated against the Jewish people, but there have been many holocausts around the world and too many of us associate the idea of genocide with one man controlling one nation, as…
more than any policy decision Dipshit may have made while in office, this batshit insanity that was apparently bubbling just below the surface but that he allowed to boil over will be his true legacy, because these people are NOT coming back anytime soon, if anything they’re impatiently waiting for us to join them on…
Don’t feel guilty if you’re offered a vaccine (as long as you aren’t cheating to do so)! Take it! And then once you’ve waited about 2-3 weeks after the second dose, put your new immunity to use by volunteering to help others get the vaccine too.
In the French film My Wife Is an Actress, the character played by Charlotte Gainsbourg (certainly very comfortable with nudity in her films) demands that everyone on the set must be nude for her nude scene. The director & crew acquiesce and you end up with a presumably fake crew being filmed nude along with the couple…
My experience in acting (which I enjoyed) ended in High School (LOL). That said, maybe it’s me, but acting “sex scenes” has got to be the most embarrassing thing an actor does? Right?
No male director will cast her for something with a sex scene. I mean, she’s thirty-fucking-five, for chrissakes.
We’ve seen and heard everything men have to say about sex.
I’d quibble with this and say you can tell the difference between sex scenes directed by feminists and anti-feminists. Even female direction is suscpetible to the male gaze; there was a particularly glaring example of this is recent memory but I forget what it was and I can’t look into it just now. But I do absolutely…
Hope more follow suit. No matter the field, people at the top of a profession need to speak up and set the standard, because people just starting out can’t.
Good for her. You can definitely tell the difference between a sex scene directed by a woman and one that was directed by a man.
I got screwed by the State Health Department who decided foodservice employees were Essential when there was a run on groceries, but threw us under the bus as soon as the vaccine became available.
New Jersey’s distribution is sporadic but there’s plenty of places offering it. I am in an eligible category and was given a scheduling link on Tuesday and was able to sign up for an appointment the next day. This was basically complete luck. I had signed up for an appointment at the end of April at another…
It really depends on why you’re being offered a vaccine. Those able to get one through their employer can’t just offer it up to anyone else to get it. I haven’t been vaccinated yet, but I don’t think it’s necessarily selfish to do it ahead of others. There is a good chance that those who are vaccinated will be much…
It’s not true that it “does not at all prevent the transmission of the virus whatsoever.”
I’m a healthy 28 year old, and I’ve received the first dose of the Moderna vaccine. My city currently doesn’t have the man power to vaccinate everyone they would like, so they put out a call for help. I volunteered to help and since I’ll be around vulnerable people, I was given a the vaccine to potentially help cut…
That seems to be the case. However, there is also the benefit of less people having a chance of clogging up the hospital system. Even young and healthy people can still have freak complications which diverts needed medical resources don’t forget.
I was offered the vaccine through work and you’re damn right I accepted, for the exact reasons you stated. I can’t control who it goes to if I decline. And the vaccine is only effective when mostly everybody gets it. Might as well get it out of the way early if I can.
My understanding of the vaccine is that it does not at all prevent the transmission of the virus whatsoever, it just allows a person’s immune system to fight off the virus. Thus, the notion that even after fully inoculated with the vaccine, those people will still need to follow the 3 w’s (wear mask, wash up, wait 6…
I think it’s an understandable reaction to have until you think about it for a minute. If we operate under the assumption that it prevents infection and transmission (and I’m sorry but it’s still wild to me that we don’t know either way), every shot administered shuts down another transmission vector.
