“Donda myself” is pretty tasteless though.

It's Jezebel, do you really expect them to act kindly or with any class?

She is an adult and this is her path. She wanted this from wayyyyyy before she ever left for college. I don’t know how old your kids are, but the less pushback from parents on things like boyfriends and sororities and other things they feel strongly about, the better. So, “okay” is a broad term. She seems happy , she…

I don’t understand why THIS sorority video, of all sorority recruitment videos, was the one to cause so much drama. Is it because of the bouncing? Aside from getting through the trial of my rapist, I think sorority recruitment is maybe the most sexist, awful thing I’ve ever experienced. Definitely the worst thing I…

The saddest part to me is reading a Jezebel article lambasting someone for a typo, when articles on all Gawker entities regularly go live riddled with errors (typographical, factual, you name it!) that are often never addressed regardless of how many times they are pointed out.

I think if you’re not a morning person, no amount of internet articles are going to help you. I am a morning person, and I hate to be rushed for anything, so I tend to wake up 2-3 hours before I have to leave for the day. This gives me time to work out, take my dogs on a walk, clean a little, watch the news, have a…

All choices are not valid. This is the one and only time I’ll ever quote Bill Maher in a manner that isn’t actually reaming him, because 99% of the time he is The Worst, but that 1% man...

On Jezebel articles, you’re always going to have that subset of DNBs that will run around flailing their arms screaming, “I’m offended.”

Your standard male MMA fighter is saying this kind of shit, times ten, about everyone. He calls other dudes worthless layabouts for not being as strong as him, or worse, he calls them feminine. Does it make their statements right? Probably not. But the measure of this outrage will be because of Rousey’s gender and the…

I love this. I know it’s not kosher to judge other people for how they choose to live their lives, and it’s not great to have women knocking other women down, but damn. It’s refreshing to hear such celebration of non-standard beauty. And there is such a tremendous pressure to look pretty for others, to be in the…

eating a salad as a full meal is like eating whispers

I think it’s clear that she was referencing Bad Blood...that being said, she didn’t say anything bad about the video. She didn’t say, “that shitty video with slim bodies,” she didn’t even say, “skinny bitches” or anything like that. She said, “If your video celebrates slim bodies you will be nominated for video of the…

Ed’s quote: “The Minaj point is a bit redundant.”

I think bringing up Tidal was actually pretty poignant because it’s creation (or acquisition) was very much in line with why Taylor took her music off of streaming sites like Spotify. She, of course, was lauded for her choice, while Black artists, specifically, were not. It’s not petty to point out the different…

She’s not blaming Swift though. This is a really bad example but say you’re white. Both of us sneeze but only you get “bless yous” from the people around. If I say “okay so apparently if you’re white you’ll get a bless you”, its obviously about you but you don’t really have a reason to feel offended because I’m not…

There’s also a historical context to that tweet that people are blithele ignoring too. White girls who do provocative things tend to get recognition for that. This is not specific to Taylor. Miley got it. Britney, once upon a time, got it. Gaga got it. Madonna definitely got it. It’s about privileging whiteness and…

Taylor Swift is the convergence of privilege and Millennialist indulgence. She is a spoiled little rich girl who bypassed a development deal and went straight to singer-songwriter when her daddy’s hedge fund bailed out her record label. Plus she has that new fangled notion that anyone who criticizes her is a h8er and…

The poor bounce “back” constantly. And “back” is poor. If individual acts of resilience were enough to put a serious dent in poverty that shit would’ve already happened.

Totally agreed on the hobby thing. Most people have at least one thing that they spend their spare change and spare time on, whether it’s going to sporting events, playing video games, painting tiny soldiers under a microscope, making jam, whatever. I hate the idea that it’s always smug and elitist to travel a lot and…

Yeah, I have some friends for whom traveling is a lifestyle. They don't put down roots. They don't have money. They just scrape together their pennies and work their way around the planet. Not sure what they will do when they get old, but that's not really my business. :P Anyways, if that's your whole life, I can't…
