thegreenwolf: Dear Facebook, No, switching over to leet speak as my language on my account and finding that “female” became “sandwich maker” was NOT amusing or funny or a good joke. It was sexist and disgusting; it’s basically another version of the bullshit misogynist putdown “get back in the kitchen”, used to belittle and marginalize women for entirely too long. If FB for whatever had a “race” setting, would it be okay if the only option for black people was “n*****” or “slave”? Really, how did this even get through? This is a pretty rotten Easter egg, folks. No love, Lupa PS to readers—here’s where you can go report it: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=ui_profile

Client: I’m not paying for your work

Me: Is there a reason?

Client: I just don’t want to pay.

Me: Well, you have to pay for my work, even if you don’t use it. You agreed to a contract.

Client: What are you going to do if I don’t pay?

Me: I’ll be forced to get my solicitor involved

Client: Oh… I don’t like the sounds of that. How much will it cost to make this go away?

Me: Roughly the same price as my unpaid fee.

Steven's Story updated and speculations

inothernews: From the New York Times: In his 18 years at Pinckney Community High School, Jim Darga, the principal, said, the homecoming queen had always been crowned at halftime of the school’s football game. Never before, though, had she had to be summoned from the team’s locker room. And that was just the beginning of Brianna Amat’s big night. If being named homecoming queen is a lifetime memory for a high school student, so, too, is kicking a winning field goal. For Amat, 18, they happened within an hour of each other. On Friday, with Pinckney leading powerful Michigan rival Grand Blanc, 6-0, at the half, Amat, the first girl to play football for the school’s varsity, was asked to return to the field. When she arrived, she was told that her fellow students had voted her queen. When the tiara was placed on her head, she was wearing not a dress, like the other girls in the homecoming court, but her No. 12 uniform, pads and all. A short while later, with five minutes to play in the third quarter, Amat was called to the same field to attempt a 31-yard field goal. She split the uprights. The kick proved decisive as Pinckney held on for a 9-7 victory against a Grand Blanc team that had come into the game ranked seventh in the state in its division. It also earned Amat the nickname the Kicking Queen. (Photo of Pinckney High School kicker Brianna Amat at practice by Stephen McGee / The New York Times)
