Had to google. Am at work.

Yeah, I’ve always just assumed that when I placed orders, they were a secret (not like national security level, but that the company wouldn’t post on social media “Sehjma just ordered $50 of yarn”). I mean, I’m not a celebrity, so no one would care, but it still doesn’t seem right.

I know. I’m not famous (like super not famous) but the idea that it’s cool for a company to be like “Hey, Sehjma, thanks for ordering <potentially embarrassing thing> from us!” all over their social media is...not cool.

I’m in the US, and my work place has floating holidays...they don’t give us days like President’s Day or Veterans’ Day, but in exchange, we get a couple of “freebie” days throughout the year. I’ve always attributed this to the fact that our employees are super diverse, and may want to take off Chinese New Year or…

Wait, their own as in other racists? Or as in their same race?

I have a childhood friend like this...his Facebook is full of the most misogynistic, racist, Islamophobic, anti-PC stuff. About 3 years ago, I was back in my hometown for 2 days, and posted a Facebook update on the first day I was back. His mom immediately contacted me and told me he was back in town too, and we…

I think they suffer from the expectation that any career/purpose they pursue should be epic.

“because of her race and national origin as a Non-Hispanic individual who was not a fluent and native Spanish-speaker.”

You’re absolutely right in the way that campuses handle things now. The intention was that by handling it on-campus it would be easier to give consequences. In the “real” world, you have to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (burden on accuser). In contrast, on campus you have to prove guilt by “preponderance of…

My school is listed. There are no sports teams. It is a medical school/graduate school. The “campus” is a few lab buildings, and a couple of hospitals. There is one apartment complex associated with the school, but most of the students live other places. I find it realistic that no rapes occurred on campus. (Not…

Similarly, I saw a University in my city that is only a medical school/graduate school. The “campus” is a few lab buildings, and a couple of hospitals. There is one apartment complex associated with the school, but most of the students live other places. While I’m sure that there were probably rapes that happened to…

Oh come on.

Yes! That’s exactly it down to the “mommy’s best friend” mentality.

“Are you sure you didn’t want him to punch you and steal your wallet? You were pretty drunk, maybe you agreed to it.”

But getting drunk doesn’t put us at more risk of being raped.

Half my FB friends sell something but the R+F and Plexus people are THE WORST offenders. A girl I went to high school with used to (before she started Plexus) post every so often with updates/pics of her life/kids/funny things they did. Now it’s a selfie with her pink drink EVERY MORNING. The kids sometimes get a…

A good friend of mine dated a woman for the better part of a decade and fully intended to stay with her for the long haul. When he landed a job halfway across the country, it was assumed that she would go with him. A few months away from moving day, she decided she wouldn’t go unless he married her. He was…

Sorry, on first read through, I failed to grasp the subtle difference between an ultimatum of “if we don’t get married, I’m done with this relationship,” and your very different situation of “if we don’t get married, I’m done with this relationship.”

Now, I had an expiration date
