What’s the point of indicting Russians? We can’t get them to come over here. Seems pretty useless.

to increase awareness that election meddling is a real thing, to demonstrate it is not going unnoticed … so many reasons, is this a real question.

Re: Beauty product packaging
In an effort to reduce plastic bottles and waste in the bathroom, a month ago I bought a “shampoo bar” – a bar of solid shampoo to use in the shower (or bath) and I’m loving it now. I got it for about $6 at Whole Foods and I think I’ll try it again before moving up to the $$ at Lush or something.

Oh, Kat and Kate:
I LOVE the HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW ARTICLE about how female CEO’s think and how they advice for all of us to think big and get ahead like they did! I think you and I think alike! YAY!! I particulearly think that we, as HIVETTE’s can learn alot from these CEO’s on leadership, b/c they have been through all of the things that I have been through (as well as many of us in the hive) who have had to fight our way through male prejudice and s-xueal attitudes where men think of us onley as s-xual beings there to service them! FOOEY on that! We have minds as well as bodie’s, and men should think of us first as women with brains. That is what my boss does, and I am very gratful to him for treateing me as an equal, especially since I now am PERSONALY responsible for 71% of our gross monthly billeings!!!!!!
If everyone read and took the lesson’s of the HBR article to heart, we can all have a good chance of being a CEO! I am following their lead in order to become the manageing partner at my law firm after the manageing partner retires, or takes senior emeritus status!!!!! YAY!!!!!
AOK
The Universal Standard x J.Crew collab is TERRIBLE. Most of the clothing is drapey, shapeless, and downright ugly. And if I’m going to buy something from J.Crew, I want structured prep. Who’s got structured prep in extended/plus sizes?!
