Really? The top comment here is disgusting and no one is jumping in to correct this fat phobic garbage? What the heck happened to this community? I miss the 2012 Jezebel so much, I learned so much from commenters here about so many things and I am so sad to see what a withered husk of itself this place has become.…

This is on my list to watch for the same reasons mentioned in the article, and because several fellow plus size people have recommended it using that same word — “safe.” I’m also kind of worried I’ll just cry through the whole thing, because even this article is making me tear up. Representation matters.

if you thought shake was bad on the show, he was actually much worse. he got a great edit according to the the cast.

With very few exceptions that barely even apply anyway, I don’t have any reason to care about the genitalia/chromosomes/hormones someone was born with, nor do I care about the genitalia/chromosomes/hormones anyone has today. Nor am I about to start arguing with people about how to refer to them! If someone tells me…

“If we lay a strong enough foundation, we’ll pass it on to you.”

Saying “I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy” and then talking about how what he did was to down a bottle of scotch was his solution.. It’s not a good thing to say. His kids, his not leaving because of his kids, should never be uttered as the reason he turned to alcohol. He turned to alcohol because he…

“I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?’ And what I did was [I] drank a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution,”

The whole thing was a bait and switch. Hype fans with the idea of a high profile host taking over, then hire the guy you were planning to hire all along, likely for far less than the competition. No way this dude and Levar/Aaron/Sanjay/Mayim are in the same league, salary-wise. 

Samantha Harkington, the prissy little princess, taught me valuable lessons about rich bitches. (Avoid them.)

Man, if someone gets so in their feelings about a cat on a leash that they have to commit assault, imagine what they might do if they see a gender nonconforming person, or someone with an obvious disability, or any of a cornucopia of other things that might make a person visibly “different”.

The only semblance of a point that she has is that for a not insignificant number of people, food restrictions aren’t in actual fact about sensitivities and intolerances but rather an acceptable form of disordered eating. Especially with gluten sensitivity that isn’t celiac or a diagnosed wheat allergy, the science…

Ahhh all of this is making my fucking head hurt. The solution to “diet culture” run amok is to educate people on how to eat in a way that supports and sustains their body, and that includes listing ingredients that some peoples’ bodies can’t tolerate. Part of being in recovery from anything is to learn to manage …

Honestly, fuck Colton. As a fellow queer, yes the journey to self acceptance is hard. However, this man stalked and abused his ex girlfriend to the point he put a tracker on her car and created fake texts messages to himself to show her he was also being “stalked”. I’ve known lots of folks, self included, who…

THANK YOU. You can blame Colton for being an abusive stalker (and I certainly do) but also acknowledge that growing up in a culture where compulsive heterosexuality is normalized and “manhood” is defined by aggressive sexual prowess with women probably helped to make him that way.

I shouldn’t have to point it out but : being a virgin does not inherently indicate you have problems with your sexuality.

I see couple of things happening with this Colton discourse.

Everytime he speaks he becomes more and more laughable of a option for major. Like this is the least of our worries about people selling snacks. 

I saw his tweet about food vendor’s in the subways and laughed. I knew this dude was a fraud. When he made his comments about raising kids in apartments (listen I love having a house in queens and not an apartment in manhattan but either one is fine) and I knew this dude would annoy New Yorkers.

I love this so much. I’ve only recently come to accept my fat body, partly due to Aubrey Gordon of the Maintenance Phase podcast and the book What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat (highly recommend both). I’ve been dieting since I was in elementary school. My mom, who is not fat, constantly talks about losing…

Yes, yes, yes to all of this. I have a BMI over 30 and felt similar pangs of shame, guilt and anxiety over being able to be vaccinated earlier than most in my area. At first, both my husband and I thought we’d just hold off and let those who needed it more get it. Then we were like, fuck, what are we doing? And signed…
