As a current weekend bartender who has bartended everywhere from swanky clubs to Irish pubs, my advice to young women in bars & clubs is this:
Treat it like you're in the faerie realm: Never accept drinks from strange men and never give them anything in return, especially your true name.

Just got the best out-of-office message I've ever seen from a fellow academic:
"I am currently away on leave. If this is an emergency... well, I doubt it. What could possibly be an emergency in my line of work?"

Setting fire to a building when people, children, are inside should be investigated like it's an attempted murder because that's what it fucking is.
