Earlier this year, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who tells us she’s not a feminist (and that feminism has become “a more negative word”), both built herself a nursery in the office and also canceled everyone else’s work-from-home situations, because water cooler discussions are apparently more valuable than the people who live far from a Yahoo office, have disabilities that make commuting difficult, have babies but aren’t CEO, etc. More
I recently spoke at Yale University, where it was icy and Gothic, everyone was very nice and very smart, and I was reminded of what it was like to be 21 and not know how to order a cocktail yet.

Or… are all of them bad? Also, when did PCP become a party drug? These, and other serious questions ahead. More
On any given day, bloggers the world over sit at home, alone, for the duration of the workday.
Of course, we’re not alone — many an aspiring screenwriter, cocktail waitress and stripper also wiles away their days by their lonesome, although I’d argue that cocktail waitresses and strippers have plenty of social interactions to look forward to later in the evening. More
Today CNN profiled Sheena Matheiken, a girl who wore the same dress for 365 days in what she dubbed “The Uniform Project,” with various accessories and hats and whatnot to jazz it up. An interesting idea, and novel, and here’s … More
