I think it’s a particularly stupid American idea that everyone needs to waste their money on housing in order to prove their worth as good little capitalists. That I have to be defensive and have an excuse for it to be OK for me to live with my mom is absurd. I would live with my mom even if I didn’t have this mental…

I still cannot believe what a missed opportunity it is to have URLs like .xxx for ALL sexual/porn nudity and .art for artistic/performance art that may include nudity, .exv for extreme violence (news and games), maybe .18+ for other adult or questionable content (suggestive, alcohol/drugs), etc. - so that such content…

If pregnant, that would be “Gooch.”

Poll: Do you like the videos on Jezebel? Do you like this “pivot” to more videos and fewer written blog posts, or would you rather have fewer/no videos and more written content?

I get into arguments about this with my parents all the time. We were dirt poor when I was growing up. We never had food stamps or housing assistance, but my mom got WIC, and I had medical coverage through the state. My parents were pretty normal when I was growing up, but then they hit 55 and started watching Fox…

Oh yes. Poor whites in the south (where I am from) are all about justifying the “help” they have earned vs the “handouts” that brown people cheat the system out of.

I respect anybody who grew up buried in the Just World Fallacy and who manages to walk away. Thinking you’re better/smarter/a harder worker than people who are suffering is a helluva drug. See: my entire family. (The only just bankruptcies are our bankruptcies! Other people are lazy and entitled! We just had bad luck!)

Does any one suffer from a similar problem as Paul Rudd?
I often describe myself as a middle aged chubby lady - but the fact is that, I pass for mid-30's, easily. I am single and childless by choice/default...and have aged slowly as a result. I also possess youthful genes, my mother also looks at least a decade or two…

Unless you are a child or otherwise unable to speak up for yourself, one could easily say, “I’m not a hugger.” If someone continues to overstep bounds, then consider the behavior egregious. Big difference between sexual harassment and overfamiliarity, though. If a person apologizes and respects your boundaries -…

Every single bra needs to have front closures. 

I am simultaneously looking forward to and freaked out by the thought of menopause. Probably because I’m separated from my husband of 20+ years, and would like to have a real sex life; but I’m now a single mom, an old, and not conventionally attractive in a city that's not particularly kind to any one of those factors.

Comfortable shoes; never wear heels again.

I was lucky enough to be working at Paramount when “Andy Richter Controls the Universe” began. They showed us the pilot and the room exploded. It was fantastic. Then they watered it down for broadcast and it lost a lot of its edge. Never realized before how, over the years, we have all been deprived of so much genius, …

“Cheerful dystopia”, I guess the term would be. Ted is portrayed as essentially a good guy, trying to sand the edges off of his outrageously amoral boss (Portia de Rossi) and leash some of the more flat-out evil impulses of the corporate monolith he works for.

Here’s where I’m coming from...

I have had essentially this conversation with my receptionist. She’s 22 years old and has a very happy family life and is pursuing her degree at night, but she still gets very caught up in the office gossip and politics. As the hardened 40 year old, I explained to her that work is not her life. It is how she pays her…

I see comments advocating for the legalization and regulation of sex work whenever Deadspin posts anything related to prostitution. I have a hard time seeing how anyone thinks legalization of both sides of the transaction would reduce trafficking. Decriminalizing it for sellers while keeping it illegal for buyers and…

It hates poor women and children. Rich people are welcome! Bootstraps and all.

Hey everyone! Still doing well, after the stomach virus that literally almost killed me by causing heart failure. Ugh. I'm still so glad to be home from the ICU, and I'm appreciating the little things like not having blood drawn every morning at four o'clock, and being able to eat more than Italian Ice and apple…

Wanted to drop in and tell everyone thank you. I’ve had a tough year-ish, and took a break from Jez while I floundered, but when I came back it was like walking into a hug. All of you are amazing. All of you deserve amazing things.
