How many times do we have to tell you that LSD and the internet don’t mix? Just go listen to Pink Floyd at the planetarium like normal people, jeez.

In 2011 and 2012, I emailed Jessica Coen, Dodai, and in desperation the general tips line, begging Jezebel to write about this case and Hera McLeod. I was trying any media outlet that we thought might help. Jezebel couldn’t have given a rat’s ass. I actually got a response from People Magazine and not Jezebel. The…
Dolores Bridge is the scariest Potter villian because she's the most real. All of us might know someone who is a little like her.
I guess there’s a Pinkham’s Law for every damn story. SHE’S EIGHT.
Posthumous marriages are something that exists and were a common custom in certain parts. There is a story about them in one of my favorite horror comic books (Kurosagi Delivery Service), but they were real.
We gays only see movement. When straights stand still they become invisible. Also we don't have object permanence.
I have literally NEVER heard of any of this. Feminism isn’t like some gelatinous mass of vaginas that are all hiveminded and thing the same thing. Feminism isn’t the Borg, I’m sure there are some fringe elements that believe in some out there stuff.
I don’t think any of that is true.
The luxury we have as a younger generation is being able to figure out where we want to go from here, which is why I’ve said things like, “I don’t focus on feminism, I focus on the future.”
Seriously. I got my first tattoo at 18 and even then I knew to research and look at portfolios.
Perfection. Like, that’s some next-level shit.
I don’t think we’re objecting to her narrative, we’re objecting to the fact that she has made it others’ narrative as well:
Here here! I think Jackie Fox has shown both extreme courage in going public with what has happened to her as well as an insight and measured response that is beyond admirable. To be fair, anything beyond yelling “Chrissy, what the hell is wrong with you?" at the computer screen is an overly thoughtful response.
considering that rape is about power and not sex, why the fuck are people still going on about how a woman is dressed? There are cases where 80 year old grandmothers are raped and, no offense meant to 80 year old grandmas, I don’t think some 21 year old guy is turned on by fuzzy slippers and a flannel robe.
I think that given the pervasiveness and toxicity of Hynde’s view in a society that engages in victim-blaming with an abundance (see St. Paul’s rape case), it was absolutely responsible (and even necessary) for someone to speak out, as long as it is done in a respectful manner. Fox hit the right note.
You should start a business where you write apologies for people. I started out reading your comment with my eyes ready in starting position for an eye roll, but you won me over. Seriously, that would have been a PERFECT apology. Yes, comedians use twitter as a sketchpad, but it is still public and you still have to…
He just made some wack ass joke about Bruce Jenner transitioning actually pretty recently.
But it also doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call him out on this bullshit, either.
Some of the shit he said on Twitter was genuinely awful, and it wasn’t “idiotic” to be off-put by it. That one about fat chicks? It wasn’t even a joke... it was just pointing and laughing at fat women. It wasn’t trying to be clever or witty or anything: it was just fucking mean.
You know, I take serious issue with the fact we are calling this idiotic. The jokes he wrote weren’t funny, and they were definitely antisemitic and weirdly misogynistic for literally no reason. It didn’t even improve the stupid, shitty jokes. Had he been, say, a Republican staffer who was making inappropriate…
