This is spot on. As a child-free cishet junior woman faculty member, my career has pretty much launched since the pandemic. I’ve been able to work on my publications more, and they are going through peer-review faster because there are fewer submissions compared to non-COVID times. This means my tenure file will be…

Same. My husband is an organization-wannabe and loves the home org shows. He requested we watch this. 3 minutes into the first episode and their conversation is like fingernails down a chalkboard, and then the employees (interns) show up and do the Millennial/GenZ hybrid speak that is just platitudes (“yaaaaassss!”) an…

Cute! And yet, he won’t remember it. He probably could be just as excited for tricking treating at different doors in your house with you or a loved one behind the door. Any no one spreads COVID! Win/win.

Yeah, I was surprised to see so many stories from parents of 2 year olds. It’s like, anything you do to celebrate Halloween is for YOU and the ‘gram. Your kid won’t remember it, just stay in your damn house!

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised that even though this is in rural Trump Country Texas, that the university and the commenters on the article are all for public health. It shows the world still has some sane people in it.

Our partially finished basement was flooding, looked like the water was coming from under the walls in the “finished” half. We pulled the trim away from the walls and a tidal wave of brown water and acorn pieces flooded out. Apparently the previous owners “finished” the basement themselves and didn’t put a water/vapor…

I recently learned of a situation at a tiny private Christian college in Texas. They were clear since June that any students attending in-person in the Fall must wear a mask. Students who wanted to remote learn instead were accommodated for a variety of reasons. A new freshman shows up in person and wants to not wear…

Your commentary on Keith Urban made me snort lunch down the wrong pipe. Hilarious!

This is a human rights violation, and here we see history repeat itself. I highly recommend the documentary No Más Bebés about deception and forced sterilization of immigrant women. It is a tear-jerker, but worth the watch to understand the immediate and generations-long physical and psychological impact that forced…

In 2008 I moved to a new city and didn’t have any friends. Got some of the Beachbody DVDs and free cookbook. Ended up not liking the DVDs much and did the 60-day-guarantee refund, but they told me to keep the cookbook. I still use that book at least once a month...for the past 12 years!

Are you sure they ranked them? I was an OTF member for 3 years and people are up on the screen in alphabetical order by first name. You can see your heart rate and “splat points” from being in a certain heart rate zone, and you can see others’ as well. But they didn’t rank anyone.

I had (chose?) to get a pedicure at my local spot because they put a call out for patrons. They are at risk of losing their business because they aren’t getting government support to stay closed for safety, and also are hemorrhaging money being open.

A) I love your name and miss living near a smoothie king

Yes, they were in uniform. One of the flight attendants nudged them to put on their masks and they did...until she walked away. Then both pilots took them off again. I was on a flight that was going to connect to another at a major hub, so I was worried that if I made a fuss they could “ban” me from my next flight. I…

Flew United recently. They were not enforcing masks, even though they had all of the automated announcements about required masks. I had to ask several flight attendants to enforce masks of other passengers, and they just brushed me off. Another patron and myself then started loudly asking the non-maskers to wear…

I get a morbid satisfaction in thinking about Becki reading his statement and fixating on the “not only is this an old person” part.

Rape. She raped him.

I would say the majority of people DO NOT RAPE THEIR SON’S FRIENDS because they are dissatisfied with their marital bed. Do not make light of this situation. This former student is describing rape.

Not to mention, Jim has a gaggle of children that he’s watching grow up in this hellscape. He has at least 5 additional reasons to care about what’s going on and to use his platform to at least make people think a tiny bit more deeply.

Oooooh, dis gooooodddd. I usually hate all elections-time commercials. This one is phenomenal.
