True Story: I had these big, black spiders that would congregate at my back door and try to rush in when I opened it to let my dog out. It was creepy, like they were lying in wait. Once, a super giant one made it in and when I turned, in a panic, to grab a newspaper to kill it with, I lost it in my kitchen. It was…

Stories like this make me realize that the single greatest perk of living in Canada is that it is far too cold for any extra large/ terrifying/ disgusting insect, amphibian or reptile to live.

I worked in an office that was below some apartments. One day a young women came by to tell me her very large snake was missing and to leave her number incase he showed up in the office. Luckily I am not afraid of snakes and appreciated the heads up but I definitely was peeking around corners for a bit.

I will take this snake over a crafty, sneaky spider, any and all days.

I see. It is as I feared.

Kate, why is your first response to a woman assaulting a man that the man MUST have done something to deserve it? Way to victim blame.

Although we did do a henna crown for a patient with brain cancer after her surgery :)

Hi Mark, my name is Frances, I'm the founder of Henna Heals. Thanks so much for the post! Truly honoured to be featured on Jezebel! (As you can imagine I'm a huge fan.) I just wanted to clarify that not all these women are undergoing cancer treatment, the woman at the bottom actually has alopecia. You can watch the…

Someone dear to me got a gigantic, fierce dragon henna'd on her skull when she lost her hair to chemo. And then, towards the end of the treatment, she got a phoenix. <3

One of my first responses to being diagnosed was about losing my hair. I was kind of terrified at the thought. Some women lead with their breasts. Contrary to my nom de plume, I lead with my hair. My doctor seemed relived to have something positive to tell me—I wouldn't lose hair with the radioactive treatment I would…

Huge hug to all the other motherless Jezzies. And those moms who have lost children. And to everyone who has a rough time on Mother's Day.

"She opened her top and showed them her boobs, which Jennifer says were completely covered in 'the most beautiful angels and beautiful butterflies and baskets of flowers in pastel-colored tattoos.'"

I agree, and I also wish she would have said "I don't trust anyone who doesn't want any female friends." Ladies, have you ever met a guy who doesn't have/want any female friends? They are creeps who never laugh at your jokes.

While black yes. It's illegal to be black actually.

Wow you are held captive for a decade. No one looks for you and they give away your kid. Wow.

I would love to talk to the adoptive family. The time you tell an adopted child the truth about their birth parents is NOW. He needs to know NOW.

If you have a cat carrier, Jackie Chan asks to take pictures with you.

I am not sure if I feel comfortable with you comparing eating mayo filled cupcakes with rape... maybe its because I am a survivor but it seems very trivializing.

I take sexual assaults (having been raped as a child it's something I feel very strongly about) and any violation of a person's body very seriously. That is why I don't find this funny.
