being a woman should not be a preexisting condition
” ‘certain’ people seem to be running comfortably all the time and they run with their friends and all of them seem very comfortable running”
“Thanks to the #ACA, being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition in 2014. Women deserve equal rates for equal coverage.”
THANK YOU OBAMA. + everyone who doesn’t hate women.
Speaking of people who hate women…
Sexism Everywhere, 2397843rd Edition:
OH HAI SEXISM
^ you should read that. Out-freakin’-rageous. “But, but, she WANTED to do it!!” “I thought U were my FRIEND!!!1!!1” (note: NOT direct quotes, but close.) Ummmmm where have we heard THOSE before?!
“If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”
UNRELATED TO SEXISM and HATRED OF WOMEN and WHITE MEN EVERYWHERE:
Work this week has been awesome. Here are some great things I have gotten to do:
-work on bringing the 2nd, much-improved version of our mobile site to fruition, complete w/ how to handle retina images and everything. I am ze MASTERMIND
-help run a first-of-its-kind event we are hosting (another tonight!)
-live tweet said event(s)
-mastermind our handling of HD images and site updates for iPad3
-install/setup/start Android app dev…even made my first (albeit very tiny) test app successfully, OH YEAH!!
It’s kind of great being a jack(jane?) of all trades. No wonder I live in a world of recruiter-whack-a-mole these days. But here’s the thing: there are few other places where I would get to wear so many hats at once and get to try new things all the time. And make it as great as *I* want. Cheers for a small department!
Anti cheers for woman-haters. And those who support them. Dead to me.
ETA (UNRELATED): my horoscope for today:
“LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of those moods may strike, the mood that has you looking for lost loves, past acquaintances and also people you want to know in your future life.”

Um, isn’t that EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE?!?!?!

Sven is sensing some hostility here. Everything will be fine. Trust me, I know.
