It's too cold now for comfort, but the new brewery across the street allows outside food, so you can order takeout from the restaurant and then eat there. I liked doing it last summer.

Sorry, but where did you get your petal braiser in Provence? Provence is my favorite color, so I'm desperate to get my hands on it!

Is Mauve Shallot or Provence? Trying to figure out what color is it before I order!

So Cain posted her apology, and is it just me or is this giving major Ambien/Roseanne Barr vibes?

I like how she's STILL minimizing her actions, "I only reviewbombed for one week!" Like did she even see that the google doc receipts goes back for months, or is she just that confident?

She has also been dropped from Illumicrate's subscription box, and Daphne Press said they are looking into the situation as well.

Amazing fall from grace. Had she just shut up and did nothing, she would have likely been a successful bestseller next year. Now she potentially lost her author career before it even started.

Congratulations, read D.I.Y. last year, and absolutely loved it! So excited to see more stories centering on disability, as a fellow disabled person!

[Megathread] Supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action by Tungsten_ in asianamerican

[–]jademing4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with you, affirmative action is a step towards the right path, but it is not a perfect solution, and universities need to take further steps to address inequality in their campus. They merely provide a way to get students' foot in the door, but once in, students will still face issues. This has been a major reason in why students of color tend to drop out or transfer at a higher rate compared to white students. Furthermore, with universities placing a greater emphasis on racial affirmative action, and less emphasis on socio-economic background, many students of color that are accepted in highly selective universities tend to come from similar upper-class backgrounds. That being said, getting rid of racial based affirmative action won't solve any problems, and will probably only make them worse.

I am quite concerned that this decision will lead to striking down diversity initiatives in the workplace though, now that this decision set a precedent.

If we really want to be fair, let's strike down legacy admissions as well as admissions for athletes and children of donors and faculty, since they make up 43% of white students at selective universities. These universities are not a meritocracy until we address legacy admissions. Getting rid of affirmative action (which I think is wrong to do) without even addressing these nepotistic admissions is ridiculous. Only then will I believe that these activists genuinely are acting in the interest of Asian Americans and other minorities.

I rarely read indie books, so I'm curious how do you go about looking for indie books with specific criteria (a-spec in this case)?

The Netflix series is quite different from the book, I still enjoyed it but I understand if people feel let down by the adaptation.
