Nothing makes a man more desperate for you than when they see how much you don’t need them.

Shout. it. from. the. fucking. rooftops.

In the wake of this “second wave” (really, first wave part two) there’s been this narrative that “young people” are getting infected at higher rates because they’ve decided to go out partying to the bars that are open to them or they’re hosting parties at their own homes. Therefore, young people, you better behave and…

Erykah has a point. When I was dating, men ghosted me when I was nice and caring. But when I blew them off, ignored them, and overall treated them like shit, they were a lot more interested in me. I didn't enjoy that attention. 

Yeah, I’ve had to field multiple calls with my almost 2 year-old on my lap, trying to distract her with crayons or whatever, but when the call lasts an hour you can see how this’ll end up. My colleagues so far have all had a good laugh about this - when they’re not doing the same.

This really is absurd because I have had people complain while I’m on work calls because they can hear sirens/other street noise on my end. You don’t pay me enough to live alone and I have to work in my avenue facing bedroom because my roommates are in the common space.

Like so many of our American problems, it all boils down to asshats who think they and people exactly like them (generally straight White able-bodied cis-dudes) should be able to dictate everything because any inconvenience due to someone having even infinitesimally different needs is clearly ridiculous overreach. Pret…

Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobe

TL;DR: Terrible person is surprised and horrified to learn that terrible colleagues have fallen in with other terrible people.

Reminds of that story AV Club ran about the alt right women realizing alt right men are also sexist jerks.

It was a great read.

That was a good read! Fuck TERFs/FARTs, and Brennan in particular. The cognitive dissonance of saying trans women are mentally disturbed men but she fully supports their rights to a job, while pushing completely against all trans rights, just hurts my brain. 

I work in an industry where I’m often on the phone with customer service or billing departments getting things righted or sorted. A lot of those people work remotely right now, as do I, and I had one woman apologise for the kid noise in the background. I told her it’s all new to all of us and I apologised for the…

I don’t have kids, but I have two dogs that like to introduce themselves on every work call I have. They regularly bark at any delivery truck that dares to drop off a package in a two block radius. I’m grateful that I work with mostly veterinarians, so they’re understanding, and the rest of them are public servants…

Again, people don’t quit jobs — they quit bosses. And we’re rapidly determining which companies are trying to do the right thing, and which are just... fucking terrible.

The context is this: If you are black it doesn’t matter how much education you have you do X,Y,Z. You sound like X, Y, or Z. All black people are the same stereotypical being.

Exactly ! The 53% crew is no bastion of morality. They are fine with Trumps racism and violence against non-whites. If all these “Karens" getting caught on tape has taught people anything is White women are just as racist as White men. There racism and hate is more insidious though because they always feign ignorance…

“I don’t know, I like _____, I just feel like he’s somebody I could have a beer with” is code for “I don’t like it when people are clearly smarter than me.”

No lies detected.  I don’t trust white women to do better until I see them doing so.  I am sorry if white women voted like black women in 2016 we wouldn’t have thousands of dead Americans right now.

If there’s anything that 2000, 2004, and 2016 taught me is never to trust the white American voter.
