Oh hey, its a scab
Unions built this country when it built stuff. AND unions will save this country from the shitty “gig economy” BS that’s destroyed the service sector currently. Our economy has matured but there is ZERO reason service sector employees can’t be paid a living wage.
No, they’re not related in any way.
Despite what Mackie said, regardless of Casarosa’s intent, if you viewed Luca as a queer allegory—and, in doing so, it enriched your understanding of the Pixar film, and maybe even the way you look back on your own coming-of-age story—embrace that. You didn’t view the movie, or the series, or the piece of art wrong;…
This is an interesting and thoughtful piece, but where I think it misses the mark is that it seems to confuse the themes of a story with the plot of a story. Mackie’s issue was with people who insist that the characters actually are gay when they are not; he rightfully didn’t comment at all on identifying queer themes…
I detected a TON of queer subtext in “Luca” — to the point that regardless of what the director says, it almost had to be purposeful. The biggest give-away for me was the (SPOILERS) reveal that the two old women in the town were also sea monsters in disguise. That’s a classic Boston Marriage reference, and something…
I take strong exception to the author’s lumping HEB in with these “affluent,” exclusionary grocery chains.
HEB’s stores, while certainly clean, well laid out and stocked with a variety of quality merchandise, is hardly exclusive or overpriced. The HEB stores in my city frequently undercut even Wal-Mart’s prices, and…
Until the corona virus I was the nanny two days a week for my two grandchildren. Which was a huge help for my daughter and son in law’s budget. Now they are balancing taking care of their children and their jobs. Hopefully I’ll be back at work when school ends next spring and vaccines reach me.
Last year, Lydia Kiesling and her husband decided they couldn’t afford to live in San Francisco anymore. Her husband…
He didn’t try to date Abramson. Abramson and his fellow YDC members knew that Morse had a (extremely tame) Tinder profile that mentions neither that he is a mayor nor a professor. Abramson and his friend were supporters of Morse’s opponent. Abramson intentionally “matched” with Morse. There was no date proposed. After…
Because being an adult means that sometimes you should admit you were wrong, here’s a mea culpa—I was a little too…
That’s a good point. The parallel, I think, is that both were employees of the University, and if he had sexual relations with his own students (whether or not they were consensual) that would be a different matter. From this blog, I cannot tell if this were the case.
Yes. Lecturers at UC Berkeley, a few years back.
Interesting, thanks for sharing these. I‘m surprised there are large universities—other than places like BYU and (heh) Liberty—that have tried to define faculty/student relationships so precisely.
“Yeah, especially the dudes!”
These researchers are over-thinking this.
White people when black students are bused to “their” schools:
But here’s the thing. If a person finds a word offensive, apologize and stop using it. For 99.99% of the population, savage is a word with no baggage. We need to stop saying “you can’t say X because I can imagine a specific scenario in which a person might find X offensive under certain circumstances.”
We don’t need to…
I love Esther Wang’s political coverage and think this is spot-on. However, to the Jez editor who posted it: the decontextualized photo-headline combo runs counter to the piece and could be counterproductive.
