time for Marty to make a career shift so he can realize his true calling of playing a politician on Scandal

It’s kind of a big deal when a number of American Indian actors walk off in protest. They might have valid concerns.

Lovely.

yup, apparently. but they’re not a reference to women getting their periods...that’s distasteful.

So many stories about working in restaurants.... all terrible.

I only did it for a summer when I was 19, a million years ago. Not only did they expect me to work 6.5 days a week (I was a live-in), when they went away one weekend, they made me go stay with the mother’s sister and watch her kids. Worst summer ever.

One of many stories is that one time the little boy hit me and I asked why he did that. His response? Stare at me with his icy blue eyes and say, “I like to hurt people.” One of the families took me on a week vacation unpaid and then when they dropped me off at airport before their flights said they couldn’t give me…

I’m a fairly highly paid, late thirties, lesbian, career nanny. It’s a very intimate job and I can imagine that celebrities are in a bizarre social situation where it’s hard to form strong, intimate friendships and platonic relationships. So the nanny is a new exciting person in your life who you grow very close to,…

I’m a part time nanny at the weekend and you hit the nail on the head. I’m in college full time during the week, so this job pays my way. If the dad in the family came onto me I would run as fast as I possibly could. He’s a nice guy but I have minus interest in him or in sleeping with my boss in general. They’re a…

I’m 24 and was a nanny for four years, hoping to never have to go back to that. The first family wouldn’t pay me full amounts or cut my hours at their convenience when I was expecting more. The second one was a Paleo Park Slope nightmare. I could see why women who are older and probably have kids of their own to take…

Someone who can do the damn job, imagine that. If only more employers looked for competence instead of looks, in all fields.

The one that escaped the National Zoo in DC a few years ago got out because we had a heavy rain and one of the trees outside his cage had a few branches slump down low enough for him to grab (heavy from water) and he popped out that way and went for a little run around Adams Morgan for a few hours. I got like NO work…

The same thing happened in D.C. two years ago! Red Pandas must be exceptionally sneaky/adventurous animals.

I, for one, welcome our Red Panda overlords.

The same thing happened in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) last Sunday. It was a male red panda and it caused delays at the train station.

I recently fell down a Youtube rabbithole of pre-WWII rise-to-power documentaries, & it’s chilling— I swear I’m watching the same dynamics play out here and now. First, you fill the masses’ heads with national exceptionalism; then you tell them which enemies need to be ostracized, and get their xenophobia whipped up;…

This is it. This is how the Holocaust started. The rhetoric is startlingly familiar if you’ve studied Hitler’s rise and the anti-Jewish propoganda used there and even here before we finally got involved. Trump and Carson and the rest of them aren’t funny anymore. It’s scary and people need to start calling this shit…
