Ehh, I agree with her. I’ll vote for him if he gets the nomination, but I hope he doesn’t.

Hooked would be standing in line outside an Apple store in order to get the newest model.  This is a strategic decision based on my interest/time/money.  If I were 20 and had no money, but lots of time, I’d do it the other way around.  

Ehh, I’ve had one iphone, and I bought it because I wanted to be able to use itunes really easily. And now that it is several years old, I am thinking of getting another one because I have a high stress job and there is a learning curve between ios and androids and I don’t feel like spending brain power on those…

My ex used shampoo as body wash.  I mean, I guess that’s ok but ?????

Literally this. My ass is big and as soon as I get up blood starts flowing again to the places that have been mushed. 

Here is a South Carolina story for you. My dad’s side of the family is from a small town near Greenville. Back in the day, my grandfather had a small auto repair business that was apparently getting a little too sucessful. The Klan burned it down. It was impossible for a black man to get insurance back in the 1950s so…

Even counting the no-sex thing? Nope Pope for me, unless I would be infiltrating it as a way of blowing up the patriarchy (and I do believe the church is a tool of the patriarchy) from the inside.

I would enjoy donating enough money to have naming rights and then using them to make sure that the name stays as is. In other words, I never want the American Museum of Natural History to become the Sackler American Museum of Natural History.  

Rosa Parks came to one of my elementary school assemblies when I was in first grade.  I am so grateful to whomever at my school arranged that.  Even at 7 I knew I was meeting a legend.

That is so much to handle.  I am happy you are in remission and am sending love from NYC.

Every time I see her face, I think of Samantha Bee’s description.  She really is a feckless c--t. 

That wouldn not be OK with me at all. Good skin-care products are so flipping expensive! I have searched the world over for my perfect combination of cleanser, oil, moisturiser and various occasional masks, not to mention bb cream with SPF, etc. They can find their own!

I’ve known about attachment theory for a long time now, but I have to say, I think life is a lot more complex than that. Of the people in my age group (their 40s), I can’t think of a single marriage that I admire, and only one that is OK-ish. The better you know people, the more you know how fucked up they are, even…

Oh my gosh, very sorry to hear it! That is so hard. Do take care of yourself and love to your hubby. To make it easier, I’m at Palliser7 @ gmail but I’ll try to ping you via kinja from time to time if I don’t hear there :)

Zanzaboonda, I am hoping your story is creepy atmospheric fiction, but if not, I would really like to suggest that you do some psychic accounting. It’s possible to change your belief system, and it would be so much better for you (and your children!) if you didn’t think of your self as a victim-in-waiting. Clearly you…

So cool—I am a huge animal person too! Well look, no pressure but I have a secondary email address that is my kinja username@gmail.com and would love to stay in touch. I have friends in New Haven and come up that way occasionally.  And if not, I will hope to run into you on my favorite annual Jezebel tradition again ;)

Amazing! I lived in Morris House my first year (2nd floor, one of the beautiful fireplace rooms). I didn’t experience anything ghostly, but I do agree that portions of the house are a bit creepy, especially the old dining room and the guest bedroom area.    I also lived in Tyler and finally Scales.   Smith is the best!

For real. She needs to practice good spiritual hygiene. I normally call on my dad for protection, and then ask for my masters and teachers.
