Seriously—laughing at the idea that Jezebel writers are OK to speak on this topic, but Mark Ruffalo or Kerry Washington or John Cusack isn't.

Since when does being famous mean you give up freedom of speech?

I've followed Bloom's career long enough to get the impression that if he were any more mellow and chilled-out in real life, he'd be comatose. I remember a video somewhere of him getting into a confrontation with some drunk guy and just calmly talking to him until the other dude calmed down and they shook hands at the…

This blog post needs more Buffy. A very kick ass woman, and don't forget how bad ass Willow became too. Those were my first kicks ass women of tv

Way to kill the mood friend. How about love shack?

Oh Madeline, you bring me back to a simpler time when we weren't super morose and depressed from the sheer onslaught of bad awful shit we hear every day. Then again, maybe i just didn't watch the news as much. Im gonna go get a drink and listen to "Shiny Happy People" now....

Because PETA seems addicted to trying to trying to recruit people in the most offensive ways possible. Fat shaming, comparing women to meat, alluding that pet owners are Nazis, and now...preying on the desperate.

Because bosses often LIE. They sometimes intentionally criticize and make employees feel bad for many, many reasons that have nothing to do with whether the employee is valuable or not. Or even BECAUSE they are valuable and bosses don't like to feel vulnerable that they're relying on someone so much. Or because…

Because safe access to water is a basic human right, or should be. Making it dependent on someone eating in a specific way is inhumane — it's like if Doctors Without Borders only cared for refugees who professed certain religious beliefs. If PETA was actually in this to help people and animals and not to stir up…

work through the problem of homosexual couples not being able to conceive children on their own.

Actually, having seen a fair amount of this stuff (I was in Supernatural fandom for WAAAAAAAY too long), the power dynamics are usually much closer to male-on-female than male-on-male, but also closer to male-on-female creature that only exists in misogynists' fevered imaginings than male-on-female. The "bitch" (i.e.,…

No one who writes Knotting fan fic gets an extra hour in the ball pit. No one.

shut up, Mark is Jezebels national treasure.

I'm usually pretty tough about tragedies. But this has just knocked the wind out of me. I feel gloomy. I was watching the news last night and it kept switching from two breaking stories. Innocent people and kids getting blown up on the ground in Gaza and innocent people and kids getting blown out of the sky in the…

That's a whole lotta narcissism, don't you think?

Yeah, the Republicans are stalling on a veterans' aid bill because of the "cost." You know what's a worst cost? Losing your life or your sanity thanks to some asshole politician who was okay with other paying the REAL cost of the war.

one thing i don't like about modern pop music is that everyone takes themselves way too seriously. omg enough already. people rag on 80s music but even the bad stuff was fun. and people weren't afraid to let their freak flag fly. for whatever reason we all kinda went a little bit crazy in the 80s. sometimes i miss…

As long as the future of music focuses on not sucking like the present of music is then i'll be ok with that. Oh and before you ask yes i'm an old who lives on the classic rock station which i grew up listening to GEDDY LEE FOR PRESIDENT! I DON'T CARE THAT HE'S CANADIAN!

Everyone needs to watch this video of Queen Glenda Jackson (who won two oscars and is now a politician) ripping into the Conservatives for what they have done to the British welfare state.
