my best friend quilts professionally and i love it bc we're both 31 but everyone else she spends her time with is like 80+ years old and i get to hear about the most insane drama imaginable about women who should be more concerned with getting their affairs in order than anything else yet they still find the time to achieve incomprehensible feats of hate

Women started earning money and suddenly the whole world became Karl Marx. When men chase money, it’s ambition. When women do it, it’s capitalism discourse, ethics, and moral panic.

did you guys know that using the proper terms to refer to real life issues helps a lot more than dramatizing it far past the truth. misinformation is not good even if its from the side you agree with and you can still address problems while spreading accurate information

people will sometimes act like I made a noble choice going into public interest law instead of biglaw but that is not the case. biglaw is boring and I cannot tolerate being bored. it is not worth it to me to make 3x more money but work way more and have a boring job
#i can't tolerate my job expecting my whole life to revolve around work#whenever i interview at other firms they're like “ok i assume u want to be put on the partner track--”#literally no. i want to just do my job & go home and not think about it until i come back the next morning#prob why I've stayed at this firm so long despite the pay being kinda shit lol

Free piece of advice for the young people: there’s a particular type of embittered adult who will tell you that adulthood is a boring, tedious slog. They like to talk about the drudgery of middle class existence, and are for some reason particularly fixated on repetitive suburban aesthetics. These people are not your friends. Being in your 30s is better than being in your 20s, and literally everything is better than being a teenager. Don’t let boring people make you dread growing up.
#being an adult is a tedious slog sometimes#but you also have a lot more freedom than when you were a kid/teenager#(if for no other reason bc u have ur own money)#idk for me being an adult isn't 100% better than being a kid/teenager#but it's better in some ways#and it's definitely worth growing up to experience

It’s the 25th anniversary of Lorena Bobbitt cutting off her husband’s penis, and just a friendly reminder he was a rapist and abuser and she was found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect because of PTSD/Battered Wife Syndrome. She now volunteers at a domestic violence shelter and runs a foundation dedicated to DV education.
#the only thing she did wrong was not destroying that thing when she had the chance#shoulda stuck it down the garbage disposal or something#so it couldn't be saved

I got called for an interview! When I got there tho, the interviewing partner was like "good to see you again" & i clearly didn't know wtf he was talking abt. So he was like "yeah, we met a few years ago at [x event]" I had almost entirely forgotten this info bc I was incredibly fucking wasted at that event & have no memory of whether or not I made an ass of myself. 💀😭
He didn't say anything else abt it & I think the interview went reasonably well tho, so hopefully it's fine
Whyyyy is applying for jobs so terrifying? What, do I think they're gonna show up at my house and beat me with clubs if they decide not to hire me?
#they warn u in law school that the legal profession is small so u gotta be nice & professional all the time#they were not lying 🙃#listen it was a fancy dinner where the waiters refilled ur glass 1 second after u take a sip#so i accidentally drank wayyy too much wine bc i had no way to tell how much I'd had#tbf most of the ppl at that dinner were drunk. so it's fine. probably.#anyway this position pays almost 3x my current salary buuut i don't think im quite qualified

hey here’s a website where you can report webpages that contain child abuse content, including pedophilia and “non-photographic child sexual abuse images.” it’s a reputable resource that helps to shut down around 60,000 websites a year
boosts appreciated, this is a site we should all have bookmarked

‘Unsinkable’ Molly Brown
Mrs Margaret Brown (Molly Brown) was a 1st class passenger on Titanic. She got her ‘unsinkable’ Title due to her surviving Titanic, evacuating all women and children she could see or hear and ordering lifeboat directors to go back and save those left behind in the water.
After Titanic's sinking Molly and other survivors returned to land via the Carpathia ship. She then began to organize a relief system for those traumatized and poverty-stricken survivors who became destituted.
She tirelessly established the Survivors Committee which gave her name the spotlight and fame she still has to this day.
Molly brown was a major womans rights activist and the first women to ever run for congress (1914)
