Thank you so much, Joan! It is much appreciated.

Hi! Can you please consider writing about the people in the order they appear in the picture? I end up skipping these articles and going to other sites because it takes too long Google who everyone is. Thank you! 🙏

Someone who’s desperately hoping that people will be asking that very question, by wearing that dress.

You’re overestimating there. The nanny-seeker said, “It’s $35 to $40 an hour. Then there’d be time and a half for any overtime.”

Actually, the post implies that the family wants the applicant to be 95th percentile in all of those categories - and if home manager were enough, fine. But then add a very specific set of cooking skills, the second language fluency, the intermediate skiing skills, the long hours, and all the other micro-managed BS, et…

I have a nanny for my daughter, and though this is awkwardly worded (and like the rest of notice comes off super fucking weird) I very much wanted her nanny to have a loving relationship with her while maintaining appropriate boundaries. Doesn’t everyone want that in a caretaker or teacher of children?

Dear god, this woman sounds like torture and she was only going to pay $20/hour?!

I think the worst part of this ad is that the writer clearly thinks she is “charming” and, oh dear god, “winsome.”

That first bullet, man. As someone who was involved with childcare, I knew so many wealthy parents who were constantly playing “learning” games with their kids which basically amounted to them quizzing them until they burnt out and shut down entirely.

Um, I know what SAHM means. That’s why I pointed out the author of the ad is definitely not a stay at home mom; she’s very much a working mom - a Silicon valley CEO. I mean I can’t verify any of that - I’m just quoting Jezebel’s source, the Twitter feed, but the more interesting take away is that women can’t win. We ge…

That is the part that is really nuts, because you are required to meet with the au Pair once a week, and the cook, maid, and assorted gardeners once a month.

It sounds like what they need is a good butler to run their household, who can then do stuff like hiring personal trainers, a cook, etc. Actually trying to get all that in one person is unlikely, and the ad even mentions they already have a staff (including an au pair). 

Thank goodness. I had the means and privilege, but still navigating abortion care in Virginia was a high-stress nightmare, one where it’s easier to go to DC or Maryland depending on your location. I can’t imagine what other women had to go through.

Clinton actually called Gabbard an “asset” of the right/GOP, not Russia. And so far she’s done that and everything extra in the last few years.

“The girls”? Gabbard is awful, and I’m not a big Clinton fan either, but why are you demeaning them (and all women candidates...and all women who strive to be taken seriously in their professional roles...and all women) like this?

You know, when I first saw and heard her I liked Tulsi Gabbard. And I have my problems with Hillary Clinton. But then someone told me about Gabbard and Syria and I read up a bit. Then I found out that Gabbard got elected to her first public office by taking a stand against Gay Marriage. Like that was her main campaign…

Fuck the monarchy as a general rule, but damn it’s wild whenever a story involving Wallis Simpson doesn’t also note that she was, you know, a Nazi. Kinda one of those things that should follow your name around forever. 

Nobody will give a shit about this in two weeks. This is just a way to get performative Twitter dorks to yell at each other.

Ugh, get over it, move the fuck ON. (not just you but Ashley Reese, too)

They also include prominent elected officials like Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and most recently Pramila Jayapal; all women of color, not angry white leftist men behind computer screens. Where do they fit in the culture Sanders has permitted? Are they included, or deliberately…
