See also men who are considered noble heroes for washing dishes once or 'babysitting' their own child/ren once in a blue moon, even though the wife/mom works outside the home too. Lauded for doing the minimum a decent person should be doing. 

I was in radio for 40 years before they judged that I’d reached my sell by (yes, even though no one can see you and I sound young...) and trust me, you are so right. Every station wanted one “girl” on the air - late nights if you sounded sexy and middays if you didn’t. But there was never more than one at a time at…

Poor Alec, always losing out to Harrison!

Sigourney Weaver is so great in this movie, just absolutely having the best time being awful.

Here’s hoping that the high school that did the production of Alien adapts Work Hard or Die Trying Girl next:

As a white person, I can never understand how important seeing yourself represented in smart shows like “Living Single“ was, but I’ve often thought about how weird it is that there was a period in the mid 90s where there were quite a few shows with all black or mostly black casts, and then 2000 hit and that shit just…

Thank you. <3 It’s tough sometimes, but life isn’t always about ME, you know? I’m very fortunate that I have a close relationship with my now grown kid, and we spend a lot of time together and enjoy one another’s company. And all that means more to me than where he might spend his time on any certain day of the year.…

OMG. You were so restrained and polite.

My own personal contribution to this list would be thus:

What makes the scene so effective is that, underneath all the scatalogical humor, there’s the shameful knowledge that *it’s all Annie’s fault*. She suggested the restaurant over the other bridesmaids’ objections, and now they’re all violently vacating their bowels (except, of course, perfect new vegetarian friend…

It's also on terrestrial tv via DecadesTV, leading into The Mod Squad for extra grooviness.

The one where the men were living in the wall still gets me. She kept finding her house covered in dust and couldn’t figure out why, mail was disappearing etc.. Turned out they were just hanging out behind her dresser (I think?) watching. 

“Don’t put spoiled milk back in the fridge and expect it to be fresh again” - My Uncle’s advice re: getting back with an ex

“Never board the somewhat empty subway car on an otherwise packed train.”

I was working as a cocktail waitress in a topless bar, and it was exactly as tedious, gross, and demoralizing as you would imagine it to be. One night, I went to close out a table of older men, and when they started talking in front of me about what to tip me. One of them turned to me and said “Honey, here’s a tip for…

My grandfather once told me you need two kinds of money. “Walking around money” and “running away money.” And to always keep the piles separate.

From a stranger, on my 21st birthday, in St. Thomas:

How do you write about someone you loved intensely, but didn’t really like?

Thank you so much for sharing this story, Prachi. This is the most incisive and heartfelt reporting I’ve ever read.

Just a few short weeks ago, scorned ex-advisor John Bolton was shouting for everyone to listen that “I will have my say in due course.” This is a man known to wake up at dawn each morning to plot against his enemies, whose heart runs on pure hate and vengeance.

If he strolls onto the scene to add to this dumpster…
