I’ve lived with Medicaid when I was a little and my mom was poor. And I lived with health insurance when I grew up and got a solid middle class job. And I have lived with no health insurance when I was laid off and couldn’t afford Cobra or the private health insurance that was offered to me when I freelanced. And I…

That makes a bit more sense, but still. His entire view of this endeavour was screwed, especially when it came down to the line and should have been obvious that this simply was not going to happen. I worked in production for almost a decade and I laughed like a drunken idiot through most of this doc because a man of…

I honestly could not understand how he could even consider doing such an act for that con man. Like, what was so special about that grifter? If I was King, I would be insulted that he even asked, as in McFarland even thought that asking him for such a request was appropriate. But since King actually agreed to do it, I…

I remember that and it made me so mad! Like, I don’t care what she was doing, she was a child and her childhood was taken away. I thank God everyday I was able to grow to adulthood and not have someone take advantage of my overly-developed body*

When the tape of him peeing on a girl came out, I heard many people (both men and women) try to justify saying that she didn’t look like a child and she was probably fast. And my response was always, you wouldn’t make that excuse if she was your daughter.

Fuck you. I lived in New York, made more than 30,000 and every day was a struggle because housing costs ate most of my income. And before you try the “move to another city” argument, I worked for the City of New York and therefore needed to be where my job was. And I had a roommate. Any place that I could have moved…

I would never blame the victim

If you are unable to understand my clearly written, thoughtfully executed reply, then you are part of the problem

But the golden rule never truly applied to women when women were never considered equal to a man. Men saw themselves in other men and treated them with equality. Many saw (and still see) women as beings that were less than and different from men and therefore, needed to be treated differently. If the golden rule…

If it makes you feel better, my period is heavier, longer, and with terrible cramps with my copper IUD. And I still wouldn’t trade it in

Then maybe this is the one you skip. And that is ok. As long as you are ready to make the leap when you know you need to make it. I believe in you =)

I second the exercise rec

I turned on my computer (instead of just scrolling on my phone) just to write to you and encourage you to go to the job fair.

Happy someone said it because all I could think while reading this was, “why engage when blocking is easy?”

Say it louder for the people in the back

My mother taught me that you don’t have to look poor even if you are poor. And we were/ are poor. This meant knowing how to pick items from low cost stores that were still well cut and well fitted. Or going to discount stores like Century 21 for marked down designer items. I make pennies, but my wardrobe would never…

Who was the other president? 

Its so the algorithm learns what you are interested in and then show you more of it during the search function. Basically, it’s a way to curate your feed without following everything and finding new stuff 

I read that American eggs are washed, which removes the protective coating and therefore have to be refrigerated. However, eggs in the EU are not washed the same way and still have the protective coating and should not refrigerated because the coating will encourage the growth of bacteria in a cool, moist environment.…
