I do sort of feel for the bakers. I mean, after all we all know that the original translation of Mark 6:41 reads:

Oh, for fuck’s sake, you know goddamned well what I meant. Stop being pedantic.

I tried sacrificing a traditional marriage to the shrine and it only gave me the generic version of my pills. I need name brand, Obama!

A family acquaintance is a “champion” for the anti-vaxx movement. It pleases me so much that she’s going to have to homeschool her kids next school year. Not because she’s a good person... But because she FINALLY will have to start paying attention to her kids instead of focusing her efforts elsewhere.

SHE DIED WITHOUT THE CORPORATE MACHINE TELLING HER WHAT TO DO! MURRICA!

Congratulations, anti-vaxxers. You did it! You saved her from autism!

BUT SHE DIED WITHOUT TOXINS IN HER BODY OKAY!

Often, people won’t stop and ask a question if they don’t understand something, so I stop and check. Sometimes though, in a non professional setting, I’ll say “There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people asking them.”

Not a word was spoken, yet much was understood.

Solution:

I think that is just common courtesy. I think you are in the right to check in with them, because I definitely go quiet when I don’t understand something and its confusing to the point that I would have to say “I really don’t understand at all and I feel like an idiot”. It’s much more kind to have someone check with

And if I have to read ONE MORE article about how everyone suddenly hates vocal fry, I’ma get myself a machine gun. Everybody just fucking stop. There is nothing wrong with the way women talk and write. Gaaaaaahd.

I’m, like, not totally 100% sure about this, but I think I might love you.

She’s not wrong, but she’s putting all the burden on the speaker, who, at the moment of speech, is also burdened with the nervousness of being on the spot, or the duty to interrupt a conversation etc etc. How about asking the listeners to adjust their filters a little bit to be less triggered by these filler words?

I was writing a work email yesterday and was reading it over before clicking “send” and deleted my “just” from my sentence because I thought the same thing - that I sounded too tentative or even apologetic.

Sorry, I just want to say that if my boss started policing my every word and taking secret notes when I spoke, I might feel a little self conscious and less confident. I’m no expert, but I actually think that this might really undermine the women who have fought their way up to really difficult executive positions at

I’m a senior member of my work group and work in a highly technical job, so when I’m explaining things to people, I regularly ask if what I’m saying makes sense. Often, people won’t stop and ask a question if they don’t understand something, so I stop and check periodically. I don’t say it in a condescending way. I’m

I’m tired of people telling me what words I can and can’t use at work. I’ve recently made a conscious effort to stop saying “sorry” for innocuous stuff, and people have commented that I come across as “terse” or “cold.” But if I say “sorry” for the innocuous stuff, then people would think I’m weak. So what the hell am

“did i stutter, bitch?” always works for me.

Other Random Women Who Call Themselves Experts and tell other women how to talk, act, dress. I don’t want a man to tell me what to do and I don’t want another woman to either. So fuck off mother fucker. JUST stop with the micromanagement of words and thoughts. Just stop. Fucking assholes. Police your own damn selves.
