Also, I’m guessing he doesn’t know anyone who belongs to a union. I’m good friends with women married to a construction worker and electrician, respectively, and you can bet your ass they are familiar with these terms.

Awesome! I was told only Canucks use it, which would be unfortunate as shit-disturbing is the best description I can think of for what this douchecanoe is doing.

Jonathan Chair is a liberal Jew. He’s also kind of a pretentious dick — and probably the product of those same elite schools (not looking it up) but I don’t know if I would describe him as a self-hating Jew so much as shit-disturber.*

Right on. The only reason I wanted to comment on this post. WTF, Joan? Unless that was supposed to be ironic/fuel the comments/page views like when she wrote that Rodney King was killed by the LAPD and didn’t correct it for several hours despite multiple comments (not quite on THAT level of WTF, but you know what I…

Hell, I stopped House of Cards a few episodes into season two. The British version was so compact and so creepy and so early nineties and so perfect. Like so many American shows, shit just dragged ON.

Lack of parental leave and lack of universal daycare are two of the biggest barriers to women in the workforce. If conservatives really were concerned about the economy (more than, say, keeping women in their place), they would be all over both of those things but, alas...

Now I’m going to have this in my head:

Yeah, I get better supplemental coverage than most people, but it doesn’t cover 18 months. 

OMG chokers!

Thank you — when I’m exhausted and she’s hungry and it doesn’t feel like I will ever have enough milk, I remind myself how lucky I am and not to take this privilege — something everyone should have — for granted.

Yup — me too. More songs than I could listen to over a vacation. 

Almost certainly. 

Oh wow, that is fucking INSANE. I’m in Canada, but even by Canadian standards I probably have the Cadillac of maternity leaves. Legally you are required to give employees 18 months, but the amount of coverage you get varies wildly — I think your employer is only obligated to give you the time off.

Two months into my 18-month-parental leave at home with my spouse (three months’ parental leave plus a month vacation) and OMFG I don’t know how I’d do this alone, let alone plan going back to work soon. Especially during a pandemic with almost no outside help from family and friends (at least not physical support,…

I’m surprised it didn’t come back even sooner given the cyclical nature of fashion. 

I was listening to my Discover Weekly curated playlist as I opened this post and a Lemonheads song came on. I wasn’t even a fan back in the day, but whoa.

My takeaway from this Dirt Bag is that t-shirts under spaghetti strap dresses are back. #ninetiesteen #ifyouworeitthefirstimearound

Yeah, according to the linked article:

Someone should familiarize Cardi B with the concept of death of the author. 

Aawww, c’mon! You don’t find it a little bit catchy? ;)
