When I was job hunting a bit less than a decade ago, the “common wisdom” among my fellow interviewee ladies was also that you shouldn’t wear an engagement (or wedding) ring—but back then the reasoning was not that potential employers would assume you were high maintenance. Rather, the rumored thinking was that an…

It’s amazing to me that anyone still puts up with the scam of unpaid internships. Too many people, from the interns themselves to the (for-profit) companies that employ them, don’t understand that unpaid internships are largely illegal under the DoL’s Fair Labor Standards Act. In order for an unpaid internship to be…
The video is time stamped Friday, July 29, and the woman asserts that she’d been wearing the same clothes since she was taken into custody on Sunday.
I worked corrections. I’m sickened to be associated with officers like this.
As a lawyer you do not want someone on your jury who wants to be there.
If you got so drunk that a mugger noticed and decided to take advantage of that, a lawyer wouldn’t attempt to use your drunkenness to get the mugger off charges.
Or, there’s always the old standby: “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to fight the sense that, for the rest of my life, I’ll be writing about black…
Far more common than who thought? Because I’m pretty sure most women are not surprised by the news that when rapists get away with one rape, they go commit more. That’s what happens when a society doesn’t take rape as seriously as it should.
Good. We need to protect the booby, but I had no idea there were any in Louisiana.
According to her mom she had swelling on her upper left temple, but it went away. She also had some painful bruising to her face. She apparently doesn’t remember being handcuffed and lead away so clearly there was some brain injury. OH and she got a two day suspension for the incident.
This is why the “justice” system is fucked; this kid got probation for rape, and he still couldn’t hack it. Meanwhile, there are people younger than him rotting in jails on charges, not convictions, because they can’t afford this kind of “justice”. People like Labrie can exhaust every benefit of every doubt and then…
Oh for sure they do.
Yes, absolutely true for me, and for other women I know in similar situations. That’s part of the “leaving quietly” thing. And I might get flack for it here (“be loud! You’re part of the problem!” Etc) but y’all don’t know my life and I do what I can to try to change the minds of the people around me a little bit at a…
Female ex-GOP here. When it’s how your entire worldview is informed from birth, “brain damaged” maybe isn’t quite as accurate as “brainwashed”.
There already is something in the law that says churches — actual churches, not businesses run by church members — only have to perform marriage ceremonies for couples that conform to their doctrine. No church that is against same sex marriages is being forced to perform marriages for same sex couples anywhere in the…
I said it before and I’ll say it again. A rich white man lives in a bubble of privilege transitions into a rich white woman living in a bubble of privilege. Her awful opinions aren’t surprising.
“Polanski let himself have sex with an underage person at a big hollywood party 40 years ago, which is awful.”
