Accidentally stumbled upon TradWife tumblr again and saw someone post “I’d rather be poor than work and miss time with my children” and I just -
The number of women I speak to calling me from the grocery store parking lot, begging me to help them find a way to escape their abusive husbands but they have no money to do so on their own.
The number of women I speak to who are forced by their husbands to open credit cards cause their husband only gives them $100 a month to buy food and diapers for their babies and the household, and they know if their husband finds out he’ll literally kill them.
The number of women I speak to who can never share their addresses and have their phone numbers removed from our system so we never call them back or send them mail cause their husbands are withholding their personal documents like birth certificates and drivers licenses that would let them escape with threats to burn them at a moments notice.
The number of women I have spoken to who try to work under the table at home while their husbands are at work, but then need to deposit their money in their friends’ checking accounts until they’ve saved up enough to move themselves and their kids out of state to file for divorce.
I want to shake women who act like staying home with kids is a choice that never has any negative repercussions.
I want to shake women who state they’d rather be poor than work, who don’t seem to understand bone-deep poverty will mean losing your kids anyway.
I want to shake women who think they could never be in this situation, who forget that it was only in the 60s that women in the US were allowed their own bank accounts, who don’t realize the difference between escaping an abusive husband and death can be a few thousand dollars that you don’t have.
Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.
Couple things here, for when you do this to people:
1. if you get the “answer my call” text, NEVER ANSWER THE CALL.
They are calling you because they want to have the conversation verbally, and be able to lie later about what they said or didn’t say. Force them to continue via text or email- force them to continue the conversation in writing or not at all.
2. “Lack of 2 weeks notice is unprofessional!” or the other version, “Not providing notice is illegal!”
No it isn’t. Neither is true.
And in the US, all states except Montana are “at will” employment (though you may hear an employer refer to it as “right to work” to make it sound better, it’s the same thing). Sure, at-will employment means they can fire you without cause, BUT! It also means that you are not legally required to give a reason for quitting, or to give notice of any kind.
Is it polite to give notice when you can? Sure. Do bosses expect it? Absolutely. But that does not make you legally required to provide it.
3. The only thing I would change in the worker’s interaction here was their response when initially asked to come in.
Employee: “Hey Mark. Sorry I’m unable to cover the shift tonight because I’m studying for my exam tomorrow.”
Don’t give a reason for your lack of availability. It may be tempting to. You may feel rude if you don’t.
DON’T DO IT.
You do not owe your boss any information about what you do off the clock, and any reason you give will only ever be used against you.
Boss: “Hey I need you to cover Jasper’s shift tonight.”
Employee: “Sorry, I’m not available.”
And leave it at that.
Do not elaborate.
Do not offer additional information.
When you boss asks you to elaborate, because they will, be polite but firm. “With respect, that’s personal. I’m sorry, but I’m unavailable to cover this shift/work late/come in early/etc.”
Be a broken record- you’re unavailable. That’s the only information they need to know, and it’s the only information they have a LEGAL RIGHT to know.
Please stop giving your bosses information they don’t need to know and don’t get to have, because they’re only going to try and use it to fuck you over later.
My job is HR. The above is completely accurate.

John Wayne tried to assault Sacheen Littlefeather at the 1973 Oscars. But let’s keep talking about how the “slapping incident” was the award show’s darkest moment ever.
"As she delivered the speech John Wayne was furious. She later said, “During my presentation, he was coming towards me to forcibly take me off the stage, and he had to be restrained by six security men to prevent him from doing so.”
Besides John Wayne's abhorrent behavior other celebrities like Clint Eastwood, Raquel Welch and Michael Caine also piled on.
John Wayne quote is taken right from a Playboy interview.
People Who Enjoy “Medium Rare Chicken”
My dad was a veterinarian in the meat animal industry so here is an explanation of why medium rare is a thing with steaks, but not chicken:
In beef, what you worry about is e. coli. In healthy live cattle (and they must be healthy to be butchered for consumption) e. coli is only in the digestive tract but it can escape and contaminate the outside of the beef during slaughter and butchering. The bacteria does not migrate to the interior of the meat as there is no circulation to take it there. So you can eat beef where the inside is less cooked as long as the outside is well seared to kill any bacteria that may be on it. Hamburger should always be thoroughly cooked because it is all “outside”.
With chicken, the concern is salmonella, which is found through out the body of the chicken. Chickens can tolerate it, it doesn’t make them noticeably sick, but humans can not, so the entire meat must be cooked enough to kill any bacteria present in the meat. As a note, it used to be believed that salmonella was not passed on to the eggs and in fact in the 1950′s, when my dad was in Vet school, studies showed it was not present in the eggs even if it was present in the hen. That’s why there used to be a lot of recipes that used raw eggs, it was safe then. However due to some change in the bacteria, or changes in egg-farming practices, it is now found in eggs as well. The amounts are small, and if you are eating eggs within a couple days of being laid it’s probably not a problem, but store eggs are old enough for bacteria to have reproduced to dangerous levels and the liquid interior allows it to spread all through the egg.
As a side note, with pigs the concern is trichinosis, a parasite that used to be common in pigs and spread to humans through under-cooked pork. However, it has been essentially eliminated in commercially produced pork these days. It should be safe now to eat “medium rare” pork, but trichinosis was so horrible and the fear of it so ingrained that it is rare to see pork that is not well done.
^ Good addition!
I also wanted to mention that apart from the salmonella risk (which is a freakin’ big “apart from”), you also have the risk of Campylobacter infections. Not only can these lead to really really horrible gastro-intestinal problems, a small number of infections also cause an auto-immune response that leads to the body destroying its own myelin (the stuff around your nerves that makes them good at carrying electrical signals). Basically, your nerves stop working and even if you survive, you’ll be hooked up to an iron lung for… a long time. I don’t know how long it takes to regrow myelin, I’m not a neurologist.
Don’t eat raw poultry, guys
RB for awesome info, ty! I knew the info but not the reasons and as a “I need reasons to remember things” person this is really helpful!
tldr; COOK YOUR CHICKEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
these are the people working day and night to make the human race immune to salmonella and you’d disparage them.
Immune how? Through natural selection?
@gordon-ramsay-official @alton-brown-official
I don’t have anything else to say just please cook your chicken properly.

[Image Description: A screencap of Percy de Rolo from The Legend of Vox Machina title sequence video. Percy is in the left-hand foreground of the image, walking away from Castle Whitestone, which is in the central background. He is white-haired, pale-skinned man with circular glasses, the lenses of which are completely white. His wearing a long coat which whips in the wind. Dead trees and underbrush in dark color also bend in the wind around him, and a few leaves swirl around the frame. The color scheme lightens around the sun, which is orange and hanging behind Castle Whitestone. The castle has a few tall towers and a wall around it. There are mountains off to the right-hand side of the image. End ID.]

Some of the most vile and bigoted people I've ever encountered on this website have mile long bios listing out every single shallow leftist sound bite they can think of and they think that that makes them progressive to the point where their actual beliefs and actions don't matter.
Those are the same people who can say the most disgustingly racist shit and the moment they're called out on it, they'll say "oops sorry it wasn't my place to talk about that I'll delete the post uwu" and never acknowledge how fucking racist they're acting because that would require actually thinking about their prejudices for once.
