That’s...not how kayaks work. I take one out a few times a week during warmer months and there is no way you can hand paddle with anything like the speed and consistency of swimming - and the water was too cold for swimming. This doesn’t even take into account the added weight and drag as the boat fills with water. He…

Why are men so desperate to disappoint two women at the same time?

mother!

Girrrrl, you too good for that dog. Trust.

Well I think it’s cute J-Law is dating Buster from Arrested Development

When Apollo 13 came out in theaters, my dad said he didn’t want to see it because he knew how it ended so it wouldn’t be a surprise.

If any of you folks have had a particularly rough day, please feel free to take a few moments and enjoy the current contents of my lap:

Keeping track of what you tip people for is kind of making me anxious. Is it just like, start handing under the table cash at random to every person you interact with, whom you suspect might be underpaid? Why would you tip a private pilot (instead of paying them a fair amount?) Should we tip commercial air attendants…

Oh, spare me the condescending comment. I don’t hate paying for labor. But we all do some kind of labor so where does this stop? Should I have asked my clients for tips when I prepared their tax returns on a timely manner?

I’m starting to question just what kind of operation (if any) For Sweden is flying for.

My SO flies for a non-union small freight company and is looking to make over $100,000 in his second year with them. He knows people flying private jets who are making more than this as salary. Never once has tipping came up in…

I don’t care how rich I am, it would never occur to me to tip A PILOT.

I’m a litigator who practices civil law in federal court. Honestly, at the district court level, the political inclination of the judge does not generally affect the outcome of the vast majority of my cases. (Federal appeals are another matter.) Most federal trial judges, regardless of their personal politics,…

The Melania “hostage video” look.

Look, I totally get the idea of “Women should protest by not going to the awards”. The problem is, when I reflect on why I never reported my harassers, it’s because I also wanted recognition. NOT for complaining. Not for being controversial. I wanted to be recognized for my work. To be promoted, to have a living wage.…

Counterpoint you’ll never be without shelter:

Or don’t show up. Force the tv shows to cancel their hours-long red carpet advertisement cash cow (or talk to a lot of dudes about their black tuxes). Watch the ratings of the awards plummet (half the people only tune in too see what people wore). Watch magazines that only judge women on their looks and hire creepy…

i hope all the dresses also have studs and spikes and chains on them so that they look even scarier and also physically repel men away from them. all the men. even their significant others.

Literal welfare queen.

This is awesome. If it’s a woman’s choice to wear the hijab, let’s honor her choice, and let’s give her a full array of options, befitting our capitalist society. :)

Yes.
