So, for Jezebel, you have to get enough recommendations by approved commenters to become approved yourself. It's mostly an automated process, but individual authors also have the option to follow you for Jezebel.

There is a group of skater boys that live in my apartment building. They are probably between the ages of 10 and 15, and 5 or so of them skate together after school every day, frequenting the sidewalks and areas where I walk my dog. My dog is very skittish and gets really scared at the sound or sight of a skateboard.

Went up to the full strength of my antidepressant (Viibryd) yesterday. Last night I got, though not a full night's sleep, but the best night's sleep in months. I woke up OPTIMISTIC! I don't remember the last time I woke up optimistic.

I am 33 years old. I have my undergraduate degree and MBA in finance, and I have a job that pays well. Currently, the hours are terrible and the stress is insane, but even in better times, it's just a boring job. It was a safe major to pick and it worked out because I ended up with a job that, if I manage to stay…

I grew up on skim, so the texture of whole makes me gag. That being said, you can rip the carton of half and half for my coffee out of my cold, dead hands. That's the only animal milk I drink these days. I also struggle with large amounts of cows milk products, so I stick to mostly goat cheese and goat yogurt, full…

I don't even know the difference between margarine and butter?! They taste the same to me? Am I crazy?

This kind of echoes the experience of anyone trying keto/paleo/whatever else that's high fat low carb. I don't really follow any specific eating label, but I did go from diet everything to just normal food over the past couple years. The result from adding fat into my diet has been way less snacking, being less…

I have been saying this for a long time. BUTTER. Butter is better than margarine. Having butter on bread is not making you fatter. It is more delicous. I think if people just enjoy the food they have, they are less likely to become fixated with it.
Greek yogurt? Or that low-fat vagina yogurt that tastes like crap.

Nonsense, whole milk is only about 3.25% fat anyway.

Given 1 cup of skim milk vs. 1 cup of whole milk (same volume), if you increase the fat percentage, then the other percentages go down slightly. :) Fat is really not as bad for you as the nation's corn producers would like you to believe.

I would also point out what I call the Lean Cuisine effect, where mostly overweight people are eating the low fat crapp food to begin with and those not overweight eat a normal diet of normal food with no concern over the fat content.

For the inevitable "I don't trust science" "They just change things on a whim" comments...

All clothes are for everyone. All colors are for everyone. Look at the old 1970 Lego ad. The one with the little red haired girl. Look at her clothes. Things weren't always so damned prissy and pepto-bismol for girls. And actually, I would argue HE is the one forcing this little girl into a box and limiting her. Dress…

While at Target shopping for Valentines Day candy (fuck you, Target, for only marking down 30% right now), I saw a cute pair of conductor overalls for a baby on clearance. We have a daughter, and I'm sure they were marketed as boys, but I thought our little Slice of Cheeze would look cute in them, anyway. This…

It's my birthday! I got everything I wanted. All my family and friends joining me later for some outside drinking now that it's warm. I got to go to Popeye's Fried Chicken, don't judge me, I LOVE their beans and rice. Then off to Home Depot for some chalkboard paint and a new grill. Best of all? My stepdaughter gave…

I suspect that Tom may be talking about a fairly minor surgery called a varicocelectomy. A varicocele is an engorged vein in the testicle, where the blood does not return to the body quickly. Minor scrotal swelling and tenderness is a symptom. The excess blood in the scrotum raises the local temperature and deforms or…

I would go husband hunting, but hunting licenses have been really hard to get ever since the local husband population was decimated by chick flicks and demancaveification.

In the preview image, it looked like a ring-mounted shot glass. For a brief, glorious second, I thought maybe the world had gone sane.

I'm not a cow, and my vagina is not milk, and my boyfriend is not a customer.

LINDY!! I have always wanted a ring made out of a door knob from an old house!! How did you know?!?!
