Serena Williams almost died from childbirth complications and she’s also a wealthy celebrity. Doctors don’t take Black people’s pain seriously because of implicit bias. I am going to link to this recent article, which gives a cursory rundown of the issue, but has a lot of excellent links to the studies and more…

I don’t really care about Cardi B, but I hope you don’t have any dirt on Lizzo. Let a fat, middle-aged white woman have her heroes. :-/

This is the bit I *really* don’t get: “Angela had COVID-19 symptoms at work, but Burger King blamed her sexuality instead of COVID-19 as the cause of her death”

I feel torn about this, because these people are so often dying alone, and televising such ill and vulnerable people feels ghoulish... but I have wondered if it would help? There have been no new cases for some time where I am, but a neighbouring state is in the midst of a nasty second wave. And some people are still…

Shelter Catstravaganza!

Hey SNS people, I am once again in need of your sage advice! We just adopted this little peanut from an out-of-state shelter and she’ll be here early next week, but we’re having a tough time finding the perfect name so I am looking for suggestions. She is a beagle/Jack Russell mix puppy, so basically a busy nose with…

Neck is very good. Big fan of lamb neck. (And I agree with your hunting take.)

Where I live...

Add to the list of things that you should have in your car but not keep in your car:

You’re absolutely right about this! I used to work out of my car, traveling from one office to another (to another, to another...) and I always liked to keep some baby wipes with me for messy emergencies, stashed in my center console/armrest. But I would only keep around 10-15 wipes in my car, stored in a labeled ziplo…

I think they’ll try to go ahead with the third one (potentially even just making it a finale of sorts) for the DVD/Blu-ray “trilogy box set” revenue but when it likely tanks they’ll quietly pull the plug.

Again, people don’t quit jobs — they quit bosses. And we’re rapidly determining which companies are trying to do the right thing, and which are just... fucking terrible.

Try a magic eraser or scrubbing with a dishwasher tablet

Smoritos is where it’s at - toast your marshmallow as usual, and sandwich it in between two Doritos. Sweet, salty, cheap, and the reason my high school friends and I got fat.

Kinja’d! There’s supposed to be a link there, to the cookbook S’Mores: Gourmet Treats for Every Occasion, by Lisa Adams. Obviously out of print by now, but still.

Not an acronym, but an initializer. 

I find fakes and forgeries to be fascinating, if only because they are a signal lesson in how marks effectively con themselves: if what you want to see, if what you need to see is a missing Kahlo, then it’s real. The man who faked rare 18th century French wines, the Dutch Nazi sympathizer who produced incredibly…

I’ve bounced around the TV industry for 15 or so years as both a creative exec and an admin assistant at major studios, agencies, production companies, etc.
