Now that we are returning to the office, it is time to talk about the racism behind what is considered correct office attire.
When you google “unprofessional hair for work,” most of the results show black women with their natural hair. Check “professional hairstyles,” and you will find mainly coiffed white women. This has been the case for years, it was first called out on Twitter by @HereroRocher.
The only change today…
The breakaway soviet republic of Transnistria is one of the most fascinating places I have ever been.
A statue of Lenin towers over the colossal, angular parliament building, and as I look up at him, I can’t help but feel I have slipped back into time, crossed a portal into Moscow, circa 1982.
The Soviet Union fell thirty years ago, and yet one breakaway enclave still survives…
We need to act now.
For decades, people have dismissed climate change as a problem for our future selves. This procrastination is increasingly difficult, however, as it becomes apparent that humans have already altered the environment and climate irreparably. Climate change is already affecting our lives, and even killing people.
Former employees are speaking up about the toxic work environment.
Who would have thought, behind a rocket shaped like a penis, were a bunch of even bigger d*cks? Employees of Jeff Bezos’ space venture have accused him of sacrificing safety in order to win the space race against other billionaires, and denounced a “sexist” and “toxic” workplace.
