Such a horror story but I love you for the “Rebecca” reference.

I’ll be very honest, and while you know the game and the players better than I do, I’ve read similar stories to this where you turn out to be the side piece, and there was never going to be an actual divorce.

Exactly. I also started out at Gawker and moved to Jezebel because the former’s excessive snark was grating. Jezebel always seemed to be a warmer, more insightful place even though there are snarky, tongue-in-cheek pieces. You’re right, we’re way more than consumers of celebrity garbage.

So I JUST gray commented above that my whole reason for getting back into the commenting fray was so I could talk about this. I am really disappointed that GM sees Jezebel’s role as purely to be an outlet for celebrity gossip. I started back in the day as a Gawker reader, because I was working in journalism and it was…

I loved Dayna’s piece on the treatment of women at Gawker. Definitely one thing I liked is how at the end after she talked to her mother she basically said (paraphrasing heavily) “And this isn’t to say that Gawker is particularly bad, just that Gawker is like so many other male-dominated workplaces these days; the…

Millihelen and Kitchenette being dropped was a real punch in the gut. The writers and commenters were some of my favorite things about Jezebel. If SNS were to ever be changed i’d riot.

thats coming, also i09 and gizmodo rolled into one, which sucks

I really do not want them to transform Jezebel into a gossip tabloid.

I still need to talk about this: the current changes in Gawker Media, the firings and the closing of sub-blogs like Millihelen, The Vane and Kitchenette are still on my mind. Also, that post on the treatment of women by GM really left a bitter taste in my mouth. I really like this place, have liked it since its…

I plan on starting Jessica Jones tonight!

They said Jezebel will be stars and gossip and gawker will be politics. Soooo that's not why I come here.

my great grandmother said “I never realized how attractive fat people’s faces could be until you.”

I used the same Bean backpack in high school, college, and law school. I’ve now graduated to a laptop one - has room for everything, is comfortable, semi-waterproof, and didn’t cost sixty million dollars. I’ve also been wearing the same Bean wool Ragg sweater and fleece jacket for over twenty years and both look good…

My mother says shame is important because it helps you learn empathy.

And Maurice Chevalier!

I don’t know. Gigi will always be Leslie Caron to me!

Spot on. I was very young when I got hitched. We have been married now for 22 years. Things I never knew about marriage: When my husband was in a horrible car crash shortly after the “I Do’s” and on life support, my decision overrode any his parents made. I was totally unprepared for that responsibility. It came as a…

Yeah, I’m getting pretty tired of the smug “if you really loved him you’d value the relationship more than a piece of jewelry” attitude. There’s emotional blackmail, and then there’s just being honest about what you want and need so the other person can make an informed decision.

It isn’t just a ring and a party. That’s only the wedding, and not everyone wants much of a wedding anyway.
