the demonization of condoms as a method by younger gens is awful because when speaking about sexual health no method is as safe, as easy and as complete as prophylactics, stop thinking about just preventing pregnancies, there's millions of things you need to be protecting against that are not reversible unlike pregnancies

will never not be mad about gig economy apps making a 4 star rating mean “unacceptable quality”

The part of this that truly infuriates me is how it intersects with performance reviews. Like, yeah it’s totally unsustainable and horrific that these client/customer/public facing surveys need to be kept near perfect. But meanwhile, on your performance reviews, you better not rate yourself much above a 3. I had a manager once tell me that there should basically be only one person in the district who got a 5 on a metric. That someone getting all 5s was impossible, they’d practically be the second coming of Christ. So, ever since, I’ve been furious at how you’re never supposed to highly value your own work, you know on the bit that’s supposed to deal with you getting a raise (if anyone gets a raise) but the public is supposed to think you, and by extension the company, are Mary Poppins (practically perfect in every way).

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

This is so generous and an amazing deal!

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
