I was all, "I'm an artist! There must be a muse inside me. Please tell me your sordid tale, goddess-trapped-inside-me, and I will write it into a novel and we will be famous together." Still waiting...

I was kind of hoping that the Grumpy Cat Christmas Special was going to be animated. Grumpy Cat has the perfect face for a cartoon, Aubrey Plaza could still do the (amazingly appropriate) voice acting but we wouldn't have to worry about whether the real kitty was being too manhandled.

"Get out of here British Grumpy Cat!"

Yes yes yes! I read this one so much. It's been years, but little details still come to me out of nowhere. Like, wasn't there a bit about drinking a vial of crushed glass?

That and Eternal Enemy were my favorites. My takeaways from The Immortal were (1) I should try to get to Greece for a vacation and find a cute boy to seduce/save from becoming a sacrifice and (2) all my nerdy obsessing over Greek mythology will totally pay off if I turn out to be a reincarnated goddess.

I did a book report on IT in the sixth grade. With pictures. My teacher called my mom for a special conference. My mom told my teacher it was no big deal.

I couldn't agree more. As others have pointed out, "We never would have printed this utterly pointless and mean-spirited mockery if we knew the people we were mocking had cancer" is them completely missing the point.

Saw that 10 seconds after I clicked 'publish.' Sad face for my reading comprehension fail: :-(

Coooooooocaine hurricane blowing away heroin.

Ohh. Maaaaybe.

We used functional sonography of the stimulated clitoris either during manual self-stimulation of the external clitoris or during vaginal penetration with a wet tampon.

Because if a woman is too drunk to protest, then she is too drunk to consent. It's very simple and don't try to act like it isn't. You know well and good when you are laying on top of a woman who is too drunk to consent. You also know for SURE when you are pushing her down and she "consents" by not screaming NO that

He also claims "I'm an excellent painter"

Can we please stop painting parenting as the only way to get "the highest highs" in life? It's extremely self-righteous and condescending to those who don't want kids, and a knife to the heart of those that do but are having fertility issues. People are different and varied and value different things. You do you &

That's incredibly insensitive. Glad your life has been so easy that you're in a position to tell someone who experienced child abuse that she should, "Let it go."

Congratulations, I guess, on being able to achieve serenity about horrific child abuse that didn't happen to you?...

Perhaps you didn't read the article. Perhaps you have failed to grasp the all encompassing nature of the mother child relationship and the fundamental and gross betrayal this author is sharing. Your comment shows a lack of empathy for what the author has experienced - it's her story, her life, her pain. Hers to tell

This seems entirely normal to me. This woman was a torturer, not a mother. I hope the writer can now obtain some peace.

I think she deserves the last word.

Thanks for posting this. I was really appalled at Jezebel for their commentary on the op-ed. A man shows some compassion for a colleague and Jezebel mocks him? None of us know what is going on for certain with Shia and James Franco admits to not knowing but he offers an alternate possibility. As someone who is an
