It's tips@jezebel.com, and thank you for sending this our way. UGH.

I don't know where you live, but if it's near Minneapolis I want to be your friend. Oh wait, if you were in MN you'd call it a hot dish. Bummer.

"Mother, I am the future king and I want that horse. I will be distracted by paper though, if you have any on hand"

"My grandfather is a priest" WHAT WHAT WHAT. THAT MAKES NO SENSE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. MAYBE HE WAS A PRIEST BUT HE SURE AIN'T ONE NOW.

EW GROSS SHE LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER

That's the point, though, isn't it? By not giving a qualifier on "top scorer," you are automatically including women AND men. By giving the qualifier, men's, you are simply acknowledging that they are two completely different tournaments. Unless I'm way off base, I didn't interpret the author's desire to co-mingle

I'm a straight woman who feels like no one's attracted to me. I "peaked" over ten years ago according to men. At least men don't depreciate like fucking cars. Whyyyy do men think women are never lonely, rejected, ignored?! Is it because the "dime pieces" are literally the only ones on your radars?

You missed this gem of the story:

... and now there are Armani Junior ads on my Facebook page. That didn't take long...

I have been waiting for quite a while to bust this one out but:

The men are dead; the girls aren't. There's still hope for the girls, still action to be taken. That's why there's a sense of urgency beyond the grief.

Is this person so full of themselves that they can't just call themselves an assistant?

Yeah. So your boss confided in you at times, yelled at you at other times, made you do things you didn't want for money and occasionally the lines of friendliness blurred with business? Congratulations, you have a job.

Seems reasonable but I don't think I'd announce my new name, even with the book. I'd be all "Here's the book under my old name, thanks for the cash, don't look for me."

I agree. If you're interviewing a professional of some kind (actor, doctor, whatever) who happens to be trans, these questions are highly inappropriate. I really like Janet Mock and I think she's a great trans activist, but if her big thing is talking about her experience being trans and the issues trans people face,

p.s. perhaps another helpful video would be an example of a productive interview—how to talk to her about her new book without falling into the typical journalistic traps. Does anyone know of examples of good interviews or do they just not exist?

I agree completely that questions about bodies and surgeries need to end, but Mock's book is titled, in part, "My Path to Womanhood." The official book jacket says it is a book about growing up as a trans girl.

When you write a book explicitly about your experience growing up trans and transitioning to womanhood,

Yet another Barista here, weeping over the now confusing "Oh, you'd like chai? Would you like our Classic Chai or our Oprah Chai? Oh, yes, I would love to explain the difference to you" conversation that will inevitable ensue in 83% of chai conversations."

Also, have you gotten the "don't call it Dirty Oprah Chai"

The other day I gave my great-niece a garden angel statue - a kneeling fat baby angel. She proclaimed "I shall call him Otis!" Then somehow he became "Little Baby Otis," so all day we were saying "Did you remember Little Baby Otis?" "Watch Little Baby Otis's head." Kids are great.

Agreed. Although I can't imagine any way some lame late-night talk show is going to come close to this kind of genius. It makes me sad.
