Best interview I ever had was meeting the entire litigation team at this wealthy law firm in town and they asked me if I had any questions for them and I went: what are the downsides to working here?

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

😂😂😂

I’m giving this a full body eye roll

Photo of a person wearing a black dress, with only their torso visible. The person in the photo is looking directly at the camera and has clearly been photographed in a way to humanize them. The caption to the photo reads: She Loved Eric Adams, But Kept It a Secret. Now She’s Talking.

Shortly after Eric Adams won the Democratic primary for mayor in 2021, he texted his former lover, Jasmine Ray, and urgently asked her to meet him.
"I'm going to be mayor of New York City, and I don't want to do this without you," he wrote, in a message Ray recounted in a self-published book to be released on Sunday.
A year later, he appointed her as the city's first director of the Mayor's Office of Sports, Wellness and Recreation, a $160,000-a-year job created by the City Council months before he took office. Adams, who has long described another woman, Tracey Collins, as his life partner, never spoke of his relationship with Ray, who also dated others. She too kept their romance confidential.
Until now.

It’s anecdotal, but since I stopped using my Anglicized name, I get fewer job interviews

This is a common conundrum for us marginalised folks now that the world is so globalised but I'm super lucky to have an easily pronounceable name 😀

I called myself 'James' on my résumé and finally got a job. Here's why I've started using my birth name again at work.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with 28-year-old Mwangi Wanjau, who is from Kenya and based in Canada

Alas, I’ve entered old age where I don’t know what’s real from what’s not

A $75K job in Chapel Hill might leave more money on hand than a $112K job in San Francisco

More money and sanity

(But I’ve never lived anywhere with hurricanes, so sanity might be a reach. I’d be panicking every hurricane season)

Karen From Finance @blkreparations.bsky.social · 1d

A $112K job in San Francisco is $60K after rent, yes?
