My grandma had dementia. Through it all, she always knew my grandpa. One time at her birthday she was smiling and enjoying the proceedings. She must not have seen my grandpa come in and sit beside her because when she finally turned her head she saw him, got a big smile, and said "oh there you are!" I'm very glad for

Sometimes I wish my grandma had passed when my grandfather did. They were married over 60 years and still calling each other "baby". On his deathbed, he was teasing her, saying things like "How many years have we been in love again?" My grandma has always been a very bright, active lady, simple to please, dotes on her

Part of a complete imbalanced mental state. YUM.

As usual, the takeaway is that Jezebel badly needs a science writer, even if it's more profitable to politicize studies than to understand them.

I literally don't understand 4chan. I internet a lot of things, but that lingo and format is just....no. If I had a son and saw repeated 4chan hits on the history (yes, I'm going to be the horrible mother who doesn't give her 14 year old a laptop), he'd be off to boarding school. It's the modern equivalent of hanging

"Must be nice. It demonstrates no familiarity with how most women's lives look, but it must be nice."

It's almost like a writer who had a deadline and decided bitchy gets pageviews. Almost eerily, exactly like.

Don't stress about it, this is just a classic Jezebel maneuver - "We gave an overly-ardent tonguebath to something when it was new, now it's been around for a while and it turns out some people don't like it/it has problematic elements, so now we must claw at it every time it makes a move to pay for our own sins."

Wait, I'm confused about the last paragraph. So she casually mentions abortion, which this site has asked for in media for ages - the ability to talk about abortion as a part of many women's lives without the emotion or drama that people assume come with it. So this show does it, and yet you complain that "It

I think she does know that and misspoke. I think we're reading WAY too much into her comment and making it out that she's saying "well, every other minority group and poor people have THEIR rights, what about the white womenz???"

So....I think what she said wasn't really the best thing ever. Inappropriate, maybe a little tone deaf? But I will agree with you that the discourse about it here at Jez is crude and extremely unproductive. Almost gleeful in its outrage and malice. Also, please see: the abusive comments hurled at you in this thread.

Okay, it's all well and good to scoff at people wearing "tons" of makeup, but as a pizza face since puberty—until rosacea struck, who is a brunette with superfine eyelashes, heavy unibrow, and eyes on the small side, I have worn makeup pretty much every day for the past 40 years, willingly. I like how I look and feel

"Eat me out motherfucker, or prepare to die"

This is also my husband's motivation.

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE FEARS SPIDERS

I half-agree, but for the best beagle (half-beagle), try my childhood pup, Roscoe P. Coltrane, who was half beagle, half bulldog, and full-on adorable.

Yay Beagles!! My beagle is the most cuddly dog I have ever met, they have "selective hearing" re: I'ma do what I want, but SOO ADORBS! And those ears!!

My beagles are overcome with excitement! Yay Beagles!
