During the Great Resignation of 2021, I hoped employers might get rid of some of the pointless hoops that they make prospective employees jump through, the stuff that clearly has nothing to do with how good you'd be at the actual job. It turns out that that will never happen.

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS

I heard Rudy Cheeks died recently. He was nice enough to make the trip out to my apartment in 2014 to talk to me for my podcast 'Tell Me About Your Song' about his song 'Operation Drifter'. yoursongpodcast.tumblr.com/post/1003209...

Tell Me About Your Song

Hey fellow "mature" trans masc on T: How many of you also dont have grey/white hair in your beard despite having some on your head? I have a small amount of white on my head for my age (50) but none on my face! Face usually greys first

since the podcast is talking to authors about movies, i sometimes feel like i should maybe start adding movie people talking about mystery novels.

An increasing number of Democratic leaders have begun to push back against their party’s unflinching support for the transgender community this midterm season. The shift comes after years of Republican-backed attacks against Democrats on the issue of transgender athletes.

This might be my best article on The Film Maven all year. I wrote 2500 words grappling with revisiting 9/11 cinema, seeing these events through film, the stories we choose to tell and the historic liberties we're willing to accept. I'm really proud of this one. thefilmmaven.com/movies-about...

Pro Tip: If someone is about to punch you, stall them until you wake up. (This only works if they’re trying to punch you in a dream)
