This happened on Halloween night 6 years ago. I had been out partying with my friends for hours, so needless to say I was very drunk, and very tired of being in my makeup and heels. I was a student back then, and had no money to take a cab, so I left the bar and ran to catch the last subway (just before 2am). There…

Would a ‘major’ news network reporter refer to Mitch McConnell as “Moscow Mitch” to his face, in an interview, and keep their job?

PLEASE include either the National Suicide Prevention Hotline or some other relevant resource when posting articles that discuss suicide or self harm. It is genuinely not that hard. It seems that Jezebel has fully committed to not including this information on recent articles addressing suicide.

Thanks for your question—you make a good point, and I should have elaborated. Good journalists write about people with disabilities the same way they write about anybody else: by writing ABOUT them. For example, “Benjatrix is 36 years old and lives with his parents. He enjoys watching TV and playing with his dog.…

The thing is, there are so many different types of parents raising kids who have ASD, and the ones who aren’t crazy don’t get any press. This woman is not some sort of sympathetic face for how hard it is to raise kids with disabilities, she is an outlier who weighed the risks against the benefits and made a poor…

I associate aprons with burying family members, but in a good way. I enjoy cooking and baking, but at home, I rarely ever wear an apron. I’m trying to think of times I wear an apron at home and I’m coming up with zilch. When a family member passes, the men dig the grave with hand tools, and the women feed the…

What about the people who authorized this raid? The man they wanted was already in custody.  How many people signed off on this? Every single one should be fired, and while I'd love to see charges, I'm not sure if there are specific charges prosecutors could bring. This is a complicated situation because a lot more…

When I was 12, I was diagnosed with depression. It came as the result of years of bullying by fellow classmates, and my inability to process their cruelty correctly. After weeks with a child psychologist, I was sent to a psychiatrist to begin my medical treatment. Let me preface this by saying that I was an innocent,…

I too climbed for many years, primarily bouldering, but a little sport and trad here and there. I lost one of my closest friends because he messed up his rigging. He took a fall on a diagonal section of a trad climb and slammed his shoulder into the wall hard enough that he was in serious pain and couldn’t continue.…

This was an unfortunate pair of article titles to be posted back to back. Also, RIP

No one seems to have authority over the police forces anymore. It seems like we’re dealing with a rogue army, backed by laws to protect them, who’s union embraced the white supremacist rhetoric of the current occupant of the white house.

One could argue it’s a mob. A terrorist cell.

Oh man, I’d like to see that pic! Contouring is some serious magic! My husband wanted me to show a side by side to truly show how crazy she went with all of the contouring. Its like two totally different people.

You know, I was so glad to have the quarantine.

As an AI researcher, I have pretty strong opinions about this, but tl;dr: the models are almost certainly biased and I don’t think this problem is going to go away.

That sounds like the perfect qualifications for a data scientist and especially somebody making/managing dashboards.

I came here to say this. As a non-white, non-rich woman who’s struggled with depression my whole life, I found this take shockingly petty and cruel. I understood exactly what she meant because I’d be dead today if I hadn’t found a way to make peace with (and yes, find beauty in) the unique way my brain processes the…

But I’ve learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world,” she says.

I don’t know her depression, or your depression - I barely understand mine most days - but if that’s how she comes to grips with her experience, she should be allowed to speak to it.  She isn’t making a sweeping statement about Depression, just her own experience.

And I don’t even think she was describing depression as beautiful but the intensive sensitivity to the world that may have been the locus of it.
