    Nailed that! "Men, we gotta do better" IS the sexual assault equivalent of "thoughts and prayers" when we hear about tragedy. It's empty fucking words.

    At the dog park yday, people were telling their stories of being harassed & assaulted. Getting my roots done today, my stylist told me his story. My Lyft driver told me her story. The world is changing, right now, in front of us.

    "If I'm besties with anyone who's harassed you, pls DM me!" Girl, why would anyone wanna confide in someone who can't be bothered to vet their own friends??

    Kinda weird how it took you more than a dozen years of parenthood to realize child sex is bad, Jonah

    As the father of a 14 year old girl, this “What’s the big deal?” crap enrages me.

    The final scene of Citizen Ruth features the titular Ruth walking away, unnoticed by the crowds of anti-choice and pro-choice fighting one another over her fate. Anyway, that’s what it feels like to be a woman while right and left men fight over who are the bigger predators.

    I do know that the "thoughts and prayers" approach isn't going to get us there. We need to change actions and habits. We need to run our businesses differently. This is messy, painful, disruptive work.

    Hi! I wrote something about how industry leaders, as a community, could work together to create a more equitable and just restaurant culture. I would love to build with anyone who cares about this. Please reach out if you're interested :)

    "When I said 'buffed pigskin, lined, size 7½, black, please,' just watching the proprietor reach for the correct drawer in a wall of glove drawers was part of the pleasure of buying." This is from 1990. 1990!!! God I love Gourmet.

    "In Madrid one can find gloves that are soft and beautiful, and the fashionable glove shops are as they should be… Cushions for our elbows, talcum powder for our fingers, and gloves long and short, lined and unlined, of kid and suede, mocha and chamois, in all colors."

    Things you could do before the internet: run "Part II" of a shopping story (at 3000 words!) without any mention of where or how to find Part I
