Can we agree that Deep Blue Something’s song “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is good?

Truth! In fact, in this last year of truly Herculean effort trying to keep it all together, I’ve actually earned a promotion. My boss told me he was impressed with how well I’ve done, especially considering the personal struggles he knew I was going through. So, even though I wasn’t able to stoically progress through…
I’m sure you think you’re just “telling uncomfortable truths” but I don’t think you fully grasp how offensive what you’re saying actually is. Seriously.
It takes very little restraint to avoid discussing one’s family in a professional environment. It is reasonable that an employee refrain from discussing personal matters on company time.
Yeah, both my husband and I talk about our kids at work. And I know both my parents talked about me at their jobs because eventually when I got married, they each had work colleagues as guests at my wedding. I don’t see how even *mentioning* the fact you have children is somehow unprofessional.
I’m finding this thread fascinating. I never try to hide anything about my husband/kid when I’m teaching (although I only mention them if it makes sense). I think it’s extremely important to model for my students what possibilities exist for women in academia. I remember how important it was for me to see profs who…
If anyone wants more detail on the patent dispute, this article is pretty good, with the addendum that an interference was officially declared last week. In other words, the Patent and Trademark Office is going to have the two parties go head-to-head to determine which of them invented the tech first starting in…
I was on the lighting team for this project. Alan was a lot of fun to work with and a complete gentleman. I think this may be the only highspeed photography of him.

I just watched that movie this past weekend. The scene where one of the aliens, who is anamored with Rickman’s TV persona, is shot, and as he’s dying Rickman recites his famous line promising the kid he will be avenged. Oh the feels! I actually tear up at that scene.

when I feel like a good cry and emotional overload I watch part 1 & 2 of “In the Shadow of Two Gunmen” and also “Noel” (Josh’s PTSD plus Yo Yo Ma doing his beautiful thang).
Me too! I started around Christmas because I need “In Excelsis Deo” and “Noel” in my life at that time, just like Die Hard.
Me too me too me too me tooooooooooooo.
(even though I know I know, Sorkin wrote women characters problematically. but let’s all take a minute to express our admiration for the goddess Allison Janney.)
As a food scientist, I can tell you that sex is extremely important in food preparation. It’s not a matter of gender; it’s entirely biological. A few science facts:

The song you posted is actually the original cut of that song from eight years ago. This video went around Facebook a little while ago that explains the whole story. Kind of cool. I don’t mind the song, just hate it was played non fucking stop.
I had an Aunt Flo. No, really - she was my grandma’s sister, an actual person. I didn’t even realize until I was much older than I’d care to admit that when people talked about Aunt Flo, they weren’t talking about...well, my Aunt Flo.
Am I the only woman who doesn’t care about the concept of a spiritual, natural, drug-free, skin-to-skin and breastfeeding-within-the-first-three-seconds-they’re-born type of childbirth? I’m just not interested in having the perfect experience. It’s probably going to be awful no matter what, and optimum bonding and…
It’s not “becoming more common” - it’s standard practice. EBM is the cornerstone of modern medicine. I’ve worked at 4 hospitals, and what this poster describes has held true at all of them. And I’m a pediatrician - it’s not like I particularly like OBs or have a vested interest in defending them.
As someone who recently finished a one month rotation at a teaching hospital for OB, I have to strongly disagree with many of the author’s assertions. I think the assumption that most physicians practice in the manner in which the author describes are inaccurate and I question what evidence the author had in making…
My parrot, who is valiantly trying to learn to whistle this tune, heartily approves.
