You’ll understand when you’re older, and NO, I don’t mean that in a shitty patronizing way. I reread because I sometimes don’t remember whodunit. Also, comfort reading during a pandemic is very... comforting. Barbara Michaels and Armistead Maupin got me through cancer. I’ve reread both at least twice.

This only makes sense if a book’s sole value to you is its decorating potential based on the colour of its spine :(

Arranging books by colour is book arranging for people who do not read!

There is so much wrong with this even from a theological standpoint that I don’t want to go digging up chapter and verse for right now because I will be here all day. But when Mary was asked to carry Jesus, she was ASKED, she could have said no. If even God needs consent then this fat fuck does too. Can we start a go…

For the person who just wants the recipe...no, no it doesn’t. If you want to include that nonsense, put it at the end.  Not everyone searching for a recipe is interested in the life story / cooking blog attached to it.  Then again I went to journalism school where they teach you to put the important bits up front, not…

First - This is one of the best pieces I’ve read on Jez in a long while. Content like this is what keeps me coming back. Thank you.

The comment about “Woody Allen the steamroller” (as opposed to the public image of Allen as a neurotic) reminds me of how Orson Welles absolutely pegged him for what he always was decades ago.

“that forcing a virus to be an individual responsibility instead of a community one”

I really sympathize with the letter writer here. I think one of the things we’ll be dealing with long after this pandemic is over is the loss of respect for people over their behavior throughout this ordeal. I mean, I get that there are some people who would look at me going for walks in my neighborhood with friends…

This is actually how Mr. Levy and I got our shit back on track after a very tough time in our marriage. Being intentional, checking in with each other, communicating how we feel to each other. Do we have weekly scheduled conversations and ask each other how we loved or supported each other using scripted sounding…

Lahmajun doesn’t make the cut?

I dunno, maybe its just me, but I think I’d appreciate a partner checking in on how we’d done this week/month/year...

i... i... have a question, please don’t kinja me, i’m trying to understand this issue.

Wait I thought he learned his lesson when he got tossed from SNL? No?

I have to disagree with that. I think it’s definitely an indicator of compatibility in a partner. I would also argue that it can also be a really good indicator of someone’s intellectual curiosity which is also something I value very highly in a partner. Sure, never say never and of course people can express their…

My own edit- “The pandemic fucking sucks; ***hundreds of*** thousands of people have and are dying and everyone would all like it to be over as soon as possible”

“People who are extra careful can get sick, just as those who are (or appear to be) careless might.”

A friend (okay, it was me!) once figured out that you can buy amoxicillin and other antibiotics intended for fish over the counter at most pet stores.

This is the basis of all marriage.

She should have eaten some pieces of his puzzle
