On the Native American front: So many (outside of Native communities themselves) who are outraged over this are just not aware of how common this is where she grew up. If I had a dime for every “1/16" or “1/32" native who’s car was covered in “native pride” shit that I ran into in OK, I would be one rich bitch.

I believe most industries cried and wailed similarly when the work week went from >60 to 40

If it wasn’t flat-out terrifying that he is this delusional and in an unwarranted position of extreme power, his version of reality would be a fascinating study.

It’s only a matter of time before this happens.  I’d argue we’re already experiencing the need for fewer hours with automation and such, and how much companies squeezed out of the Great Recession.  They never hired back all of the workers; it was really an excuse to dump workers in favor of “productivity.”

Well my mom is an evangelical republican type sooooo....Pete loving moms are quite refreshing for me

“Shortening the workweek is certainly one idea we must look at” —@BernieSanders

I’ve been getting redirected every so often to proximify dot com or something like that for months and I wondered if my phone was infected. It only happens on G/O sites.

The Jezebel community means a lot to me. I wish there was a separate unofficial meeting place in case something happens to it. I come for the community.

Hope this isn’t a harbinger. With the commenting issues, dearth of new reporting (seems like they aren’t covering as much anymore) and the Splinter debacle, I feel like we may lose this platform altogether. Too bad, because while the writing and analysis is sometimes garbage, the commenting community is what I really…

Liz Cheney taking a page from the domestic violence handbook. “You made me do it!”

Soulless wretched fell right underneath that tree. 

Off topic, Kinja is duplicating replies when we respond to each others posts.

Any person who chooses Jon Lovett as their partner in life is top notch in my book.

Sigh, my feline life partner died in August and I swore no more cats for a Very Long Time and I look at Bruce and I’m weaaaak.  

We lost our elderly house panther this summer and I swore no more cats for a long while but seeing so many adoptable black kitties is making me weak. 

I found out yesterday that I passed the bar exam.

Counting down one week until the masquerade ball (can you tell I’m excited?!) I bought an outfit today, which is either going to look really good, or really not. I also bought my mask, so if I have spectacularly missed the boat I can wear that all night! I have promised (on GT) to post pictures so I’ll probably put a…

An hour ago I watched helplessly as my kid fell backward off our back step and heard the conk when her head hit the concrete. She’s absolutely fine. I called the on-call nurse from her doctors’ office who told me what to look out for, but she’s been her usual self. I just am still shaking. I truly have never been so…

Okay, hear me out. A TLC return tour but with Holly, Left Ear, and 775.

Holly only won because they refused to accept my webcam live feed for the contest.

The system that person wants children taken out of is the one that generates them in the first place as this nightmare story brightly highlights. But it’s a part of many or most adoption stories. From the coercion of people like me through the norms we have that keep birthmothers and adoptees both from speaking to…
