"Rose called the New Yorker "school," studying hard, reading back issues, and writing notes to her boyfriends, a trio of married writers she nicknamed Europe, Mr. Normalcy and Personality Plus, who all wrote back to her. "This made her a less-than-attentive receptionist. She was an erratic message-taker, and her cubicle was often so full of her coterie that she failed to notice when a visitor needed to be buzzed through," the Times wrote, adding: "Inevitably, she was fired.""

ADULT CONNECTION HOTLINE: SINGLES-TRANSSEXUALS-PARTY PEOPLE
A poster for the Dec. 3rd event, Gender Reveal Podcast presents Gender Ordeal: Gender On Wheels. The event is at Johnny Brenda's at 7pm and tickets are $15, but tbh I haven't used my comps so if we know each other even vaguely and you want to come let me know. Anyway the image depicts Tuck, a trans guy in a black tanktop with a cool lil' mustache, driving a red convertible off a cliff Thelma and Louise-style. In the back of the car is Mattie, a tattooed trans femme also in black, throwing her arms to the sky like she's on a cool and fun roller coaster. In the passenger seat is a depiction of me, a bearded trans guy having an absolute panic attack w/r/t the whole car-hurtling-over-a-cliff thing. Mattie drew the poster and it's very good, imo.

side of a box of pretty solid Korean fried chicken advertising “CHICKEN UNIVERSITY: PEOPLE, PERFORMANCE, PROFIT.” I cannot emphasize enough that the restaurant was not called Chicken University nor did the food or theme relate to Chicken University in any way. It remains unclear how Chicken University relates to the product at all. However the chicken was quite good and they gave me a 10 piece instead of an 8 piece and didn’t charge me for it, which was cool

Lastly, I asked Kasulke what is the next thing we should quit for a week. “The funny answer is ‘email,’ the sincere answer is ‘uneven pay’ and to see what happens if everyone took home the exact same wages,” he said. “Both have the potential to create chaos, but the former might go over better if you tried the latter first.”

Can you tape your earrings? The only way to keep a superficial piercing from getting caught up in the web is to tape it. You can protect your earring from everyday wear and tear by wearing it on your wrist.
