No she doesn't. The article says she already turned her cable off because she couldn't afford it. And it doesn't say anything about a computer. In the small working-class town on the Oklahoma/Kansas border where many of my family members live, many people go to the town library to use the internet/post of Facebook.

It is an absolute travesty that Gary Oldman (55) is not on this list. I mean, come on. His name is Gary OLD MAN. And he is my lover.

My Boyfriend Jason Isaacs just turned 50 this year. He's older than me so he qualifies, oh yes he does.

This is ridiculous. He's saying if you were in a black neighborhood, Lasonia could be a girl's name, but in an italian restaurant you would be referring to the food and thus it would be Lasagna. The "black people are stupid" is something you've read into it yourself and is not the point of the joke. He removed the…

I'm baffled by the number of people who think the joke is 'ha, black people are dumb and can't spell.' He's making fun of ghetto names.

Nope, it's a variation on a reallllly old racist joke trope about a black woman naming her daughter "Vagina" or some such.

You have every right to celebrate Christmas in your own way, with your family. You should have started doing this years ago. :)

Well there's your problem. Dating you is likely to put his job in jeopardy. Not cool of you to do that to him- you should have waited until you were done with the class and/or that school.

Anyone else sick of dealing with friends who forget you exist until they're single/sad/in need of cheering up? Lately, I feel like I've just been used as a crutch for people to lean on until they're happy again, and then they fade into the distance. Then it repeats all over again. Of course, when I'm going through a…

So, Oddly enough I used to be the storage director for a moving company. An old woman who passed and didn't pay to bring her goods out of storage was up for auction. Her 4 daughters asked if they could take personal Items like pictures and papers etc. I agreed to this, I am not a ruthless cold hearted prick all the…

I'm sorry that you have first hand experience with this topic. I agree that those who still support these artists/abusers are not necessarily bad people. I also think that it's far too easy to distance ourselves from wrongdoing in the disguise of entertainment. Is a 2 minute song more valuable than a young woman's…

Please let her know she's got the support of those of us who read Jez, and if she hears back from the bus company please let us know in a follow up!

Update from the woman who experienced this crap (from the link above):

For more context, the author ("Tumblr user Theremina") is Meredith Yayanos, a magazine publisher (Coilhouse), blogger, and professional musician, who’s performed with The Parlour Trick, The Dresden Dolls, Kim Boekbinder, and more. She’s an incredible woman and a dear friend. I trust her account of these events…

Dude I have a million crazy Muni stories, those drivers are just as scared as we are. One night leaving the Haight, an agitated guy with fresh bloody scratches on his face got onto the bus twitching and swearing. He stood behind the (black) bus driver talking to himself and spouting out the N word at our driver a lot.…

I think people making accusations like that and silencing those who have experienced extreme things like this is a self fulfilling prophecy. Because you throw shit at it every time you hear it, you keep people from speaking up. Even when you say "I will give her the benefit of the doubt" you do so explicitly in order…

I think once you know the context then you should make an informed decision about supporting that artist. This isn't someone who just shoplifted nail polish, he engaged remarkably awful behavior, behavior which is even part of his artistic schtick.

Just in case anyone reading is in the same situation. There is help to get out. The national trafficking tip line (which is the crime that was committed against this nanny) is 1-888-373-7888.
