- heidi on thechefsky’s “Commentary on the Respectful Prostitute” I would argue that Wilson is a logical product of the hegemonic system of devaluation of black lives, not at all deranged.
- vincent on thechefsky’s “Commentary on the Respectful Prostitute” Great Post! But as someone who hold existentialism & Nihilism dear to their heart, I just embrace the fact that life is absurd.
- paul on thechefsky’s “Commentary on the Respectful Prostitute” I'm still only halfway through ;) working on it.
- paul on thechefsky’s “A Requiem for Sammie” sad woof
- paul on thechefsky’s “Journey to the Other Side?” Well I am glad you are better. I would have told them only because illness based delusions and hallucinations are symptoms of very serious illness like menengitis or brain eating ameobas.
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Journey to the Other Side?” When I was in the hospital, they said that I didn't have a fever. I was slightly feverish on and off throughout the time I was sick, but not overly so. The doctors didn't care much about me when I was there, and even if they had paid more …
- paul on thechefsky’s “Journey to the Other Side?” I distinctly remember a lot of interaction with non existent things one time when I was feverish as a child. But that was a fever. Were you feverish at the time? Did you tell the doctor?
- metalpeter on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” Now I've never had a desk job so I don't know.... But I'm guessing just a guess that the European Model is better... I say this because .. People who have a good and fun (but not to much time away from work kind of fun) environment are mor…
- uncutsaniflush on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” Upon rereading what I wrote last night, I think I may have come across stronger or harsher than I intended. Sorry about that. When I was talking about the marginalization (perhaps not the best word) of working women in feminist doctrine, I…
- metalpeter on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” Every worker is different some people care about what they do some don't , some people work very hard, some people not so much, some people spend more time figuring out how they will do the work then doing, some people can do the work at h…
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” I think that your argument depends on how you define value. I would say that more time at work doesn't necessarily make you more valuable. For instance, a person with a family may be better at using their time efficiently than someone who …
- metalpeter on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” I'm going to take some shit for this at that is ok .... 1. Never read Dickens 2. Women do make less then men but there is a difference between how much they make and how much they make for doing the same job... look at athletes more people…
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” First, I'm not sure how someone can argue that feminism marginalized lower class women, when they were already marginalized. Second, I'm not clear where in all my comments that you got the impression that I don't value all the women that h…
- uncutsaniflush on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” Just for the record, radical critics of 20th Century feminism say 20th Century feminists are the ones that say that working class women didn't matter. Don't lay that shit on me. I grew up in a single parent working class home. My mom was o…
- uncutsaniflush on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” I am lucky that I have led a charmed life (though not everyone might see it as such). I reap the benefits of institutional racism and sexism because of my race and gender. Since I have a voice, I use it to defend and protect those who don'…
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” Uncut, I get that they were supposed the Mr. and Mrs. were supposed to be figures of fun (and they were), which is why I like Dickens, but I do think there was a critique of women who choose to put their attention elsewhere. As far as thin…
- uncutsaniflush on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” I concur with YesThatCasey. In Victorian times, women worked in factories and textile mills and even coal mines. But they were not middle class or upper class women so they didn't matter. In the working class, women have pretty always work…
- YesThatCasey on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” "...this line of thinking is still prevalent today." I'd question this claim. There is a dwindling segment of western cultures that still maintains this belief, but overall I'd say this is very much a dying breed. They attract a great deal…
- uncutsaniflush on thechefsky’s “Thoughts on Mrs. Jellyby” I've not read Bleak House in over 20 years, but, if my memory serves me correctly, and I think it does - both Mr. and Mrs Jellyby were supposed to be figures of fun (if not ridicule) to Dickens' readers. I think it is very important to rem…
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Life is F****** Hard” Thanks for the virtual hugs! They were much needed. :)
- metalpeter on thechefsky’s “Life is F****** Hard” Oh my point is there is help out there to be found.....
- metalpeter on thechefsky’s “Life is F****** Hard” I don't know what to say really.... yeah it is and I've been having trouble dealing with it my self just didn't get it till now.... I'm starting to try and find help... Not sure how much it helps or not yet but hoping it does.... Think e:h…
- heidi on thechefsky’s “Life is F****** Hard” hugs hugs hugs!!!
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Life is F****** Hard” Thanks Paul! Missing my family was the hardest thing about moving here, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
- paul on thechefsky’s “Life is F****** Hard” Hope its turns out to be nothing. One of the main reasons I stay here is that my brother is here.
- heidi on thechefsky’s “Down and Out” Sometimes our brains & bodies just need a break. You push yourself very hard! Drink lots of fluids and sleep.
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Wende Visit” As far as the distinction between Attica and Wende, that is the stereotype, but prisoners are frequently transferred between the two facilities. For example, apparently, the man who shot John Lennon was recently transferred from Attica to …
- metalpeter on thechefsky’s “Wende Visit” I assume when you said deliced that the only way to make sure there wasn't any was the old sterotype of the fire hose ....... But, still very interesting.... You would know more then I But I thought Attica was for more what shall we call t…
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Wende Visit” Deloused!! I knew deliced was wrong, but I couldn't find a better alternative. Thank you!! I'm glad you guys liked the article. Albion (women's prison) should be next.
- libertad on thechefsky’s “Wende Visit” I have enjoyed reading your experiences too. I can't remember if I mentioned before or not but I talk to prisoners in NYS DOC all the time. Most of them are really great and appreciative of the help that we provide them. Their info is publ…

- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Apparently stamps are considered contraband” I'm not sure where Sing Sing is. According to the facts of the case, they do have an NAACP office there. I figure not all guards are dirty, or maybe he just pissed someone off, or maybe it's just stupid to consider stamps contraband and th…
- thechefsky on thechefsky’s “Do Not Blindly Follow” Thanks for the welcome. I didn't mean to be rude, but, as indicated in the comments that followed I couldn't respond when I tried to. Thankfully, it was not because I am an idiot, rather I think it was some security feature on the wireless…
