Just finished reading the whole piece at the link, and I'm on the verge of actually sobbing. As a written piece, it's beautiful in both substance and in form — she is an extremely eloquent and intelligent writer — and it's also just heartbreaking. And the comments from readers who say they used to make the same

It's like that black football player who recently came out. He said, 'I just want to be known as a football player. I don't want to be known as a gay football player.'

I'm with you about the importance of proper grammar. I hate when people who are paid to write make dumb grammatical errors. But typos don't bother me as much — they're a sign of haste rather than ignorance. And, also, if you're going to complain about people's writing, it's worth mentioning that "incredulity" is

You are the best with the GIFs. The George-Takei-leaping-with-a-sword one from yesterday was a thing of total joy.

You might be right, but I don't find it implausible at all that he wrote this himself — he is very well-educated and is generally considered quite intelligent and articulate.

It's really mindboggling — how rotten and poisonous must these legislators' souls be, to go to so much effort to do something so malicious and indefensible. And to do it in an age where so much progress is being made in other respects . . . it's like being the hateful bigots violently trying to block small black

I was equally enthralled with this, so I searched and found it:

I love when there's a pet-related post on Jezebel, and people then start posting pictures of their own incredibly cute pets. I don't mean this in a snarky or sarcastic way — I sincerely love it, and will keep refreshing to see more adorable pictures. It makes me feel somewhat better about not having my own dog.

This whole thing is just horrible to think about. And considering the countless horrible things this child already has to deal with — the abusive grandmother, the deeply damaged mother, a family apparently devoid of any ability to self-reflect or to improve — the fact that Farrah wanted an abortion is probably pretty

My awareness of Farrah comes pretty much entirely from what's reported on this site, and it has mostly come down to a sense that she is delusional and narcissistic. But wow this clip was hard to watch, and I feel so sorry for her now.

It must take a huge amount of patience and forbearance to deal with air travelers in the first place, who are often stressed and frustrated to begin with. Having to deal with this kind of crap, on top of that, is just the icing on the really crappy cake.

It's embarrassing how excited I was to hear this. I actually got chills.

Seriously. My Glob. How could you not fall in love with someone who says that?

I agree on every single one of these points. And I hadn't actually thought about this point that you made, but I think it is exactly right:

I liked the background information (even as I felt a tiny bit guilty for wanting to know all these details). But I thought it sounded surprisingly biased against Mia Farrow. (I say "surprisingly" not because I think it's surprising that someone would favor Woody Allen over Mia Farrow, but because writers of articles

The Tisa Farrow quotes in particular seem really cruel. The other ones could be viewed, I suppose, as a sincere attempt to explain the inappropriate and unequal nature of the affair.

I just can't believe the arrogance that conservative men (and anyone that's "pro-life") have to think that making something illegal makes it stop. It only makes it harder to do and punishes the people that need to do it. It makes it into a privilege the wealthy can obtain by crossing state or national lines and

I remember reading that as well — that people were almost shocked by just how pissy and remorseless he was, and how he seemed to feel that he was being unfairly inconvenienced.

Love this. Love that it's a brother and sister who really do look like the originals.

I read "camels" as "caramels," and was totally thinking about how delicious that would be even if it was filled with sand.
