This same sort of system is just being transitioned away from in Australia where students receive an overall position score or OP that includes both your personal rank and your school’s rank. Naturally private schools are often much better performing thereby giving private school students a “boost” in applying to…

co-signed. In many ways the best job of my life (friendships, genuine feelings of doing “good work”, in many ways the worst (underpaid, overqualified, undervalued). In my day, when I worked for PP at just over minimum wage they stuck a DONATE slip in with our paychecks :/

I really miss J.Crew of old. I still own a reversible pullover style J.Crew sweatshirt that I bought in 1992. That thing is so well made. The last thing I bought from J.Crew was 10 years ago- a cardigan that had holes in the elbows by the 3rd wear. 

I see not much has changed since I worked for PP in the 1990s and early 2000s. I look back on that time as one of the best jobs I ever had, for the friendships I made, the training I received and the satisfaction that came from helping people. That said, there was always issues between admin and clinical staff. Admin…

There are so many other examples here- does no one remember the delightful Shirley Valentine? 

I lived in Laramie for 15 years. THE WIND WILL MAKE YOU INSANE.

SAVE YOURSELF! Academia is a cesspool of skewed expectations, bad behavior, and false nobility. You will not look bad for leaving.

I’m so angry about this shit I can’t see straight. My best friend is a long-term survivor of HIV. The year before HAART drugs came out he lost his partner to the disease and his eye to cytomegalovirus. She clearly knows NOTHING about HIV.

Just heard this from my friend who once worked around John Conyers as a staffer for another senator- indeed a total sexist creep. His deal apparently was more the old-fashioned sexist BS of making all of his staffers wear high heels and skirts to work. One young woman showed up for her first day of work in pants/flats…

He looks like he stuck his head in a hive of bees.

I’m 100% pro-choice. I worked at an abortion clinic for 4 years. Here is why you should see a Dr. to be prescribed these medications:

“Wildflowers” was the soundtrack of my early 20s. I listened to it today in full and I don’t think I realized then how much of his own shit he was laying bare. Now, as a grown up with a complicated marriage, I get so much more from his later music. God I’m going to miss him.

“You belong somewhere you feel free “ 🌈 Tom was one of the good ones.
