I actually once caught a wild bunny when I was in college. It was one of those bizarre moments where it ran in front of me, and I reacted and grabbed it before I had time to even think. I'm pretty sure I was as stunned as the bunny to find myself holding a wild rabbit right there in my college quad. I cuddled it a…

I think they've been saying these crazy racist/sexist things behind closed doors for years now. We're only hearing about it more now because 1. Everything everywhere is being filmed for the TV and/or streamed on the internet and 2. people are paying more attention.

When I worked at a department store in Oklahoma, we found a litter of day old puppies in the trash compactor. If the maintenance guys hadn't pulled them out, they would have been crushed the death. My mom and I took two and bottle fed them for weeks until they could be adopted. They turned into happy, healthy…

I'm pregnant with my first baby now, and I've been asking everyone I know to get their whooping cough vaccinations up to date. It's so frightening how vulnerable infants are to it, and it's coming back. It makes me sick to think of how that McCarthy beast is killing people, including infants, with her ignorant…

As a former teacher in an extremely high poverty school, I can tell you that poor attendance, terrible discipline, and no parental involvement make it difficult to impossible to reach some kids. I had students who came to class once a month. I had 160 kids to teach. Am I supposed to pick all of them up in the…

I understand your concern, but it's not allowed to carry guns on a college campus in Maryland. In fact, it's illegal. So if they are "patrolling," they are still not allowed to carry guns.

Housekeepers are a gift from God. I have one who comes every other week and takes care of all the heavy chores, like cleaning the bathroom and the kitchen, vacuuming, and folding laundry. My husband and I used to regularly fight about the chores, and now it's so much easier and our marriage has improved. Seriously, if…

I didn't know any of this about Kurt Cobain, but I love Nirvana! I'm so glad to know he identified as a Feminist.

I've actually taught preschool, 8th grade language arts, and music lessons. I don't agree that all or even most boys are "troublemakers." However, I think when boys do act terribly in class, it's often because they have disrespectful attitudes towards their (largely female) teachers.…

Actually, the actor James Woods has a very high IQ, so it's not unusual for intelligent people to enjoy acting. I'm a classical musician (now I'm working on a novel as well), and I have long suspected that some of the most intelligent people at a university are probably music majors. In my undergraduate college's…

I totally agree. I taught preschool, 8th grade, and music lessons, so I've dealt with many different children, including some who had disabilities like autism. I'm still completely appalled at parents who spoil and indulge their children until they are unbearable. If you do not teach children how to behave and how to…

I think this also works because it projects confidence. People get suspicious if you come across like you need their business or help too much. If you make it clear you respect their freedom to choose your business, it shows that you have confidence, and that you get enough business from other clients that you don't…

Wow, I think you win for one of the funniest Jezebel comments in a while!

Actually, efforts by cities to improve community health and school lunches, DO reduce childhood obesity by a significant amount. http://healthland.time.com/2012/12/12/childhood-obesity-rates-drop-slightly-in-some-cities-what-are-they-doing-right/

For all the sad, awkward guys out there who truly don't understand why you are creepy, please read "Dr. Nerdlove." http://www.doctornerdlove.com/2011/12/dont-be-a-creeper/

I think you should read "Dr. Nerdlove." I'm a woman who has tons of nerdy guy friends who truly don't understand why they scare women off. If that's you, and you're totally lost, please read it diligently. http://www.doctornerdlove.com/2011/12/dont-be-a-creeper/

I'm totally disgusted by this "cultural sensitivity" vileness some people in this thread are using as an excuse to defend savage sexual violence against women. Some Muslim men think the Koran gives them the right to beat their wives—so is rejecting domestic violence "cultural imperialism"? Do we need to stop…

Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most moving animes ever made, and I'd like to see it as a live action movie, although I hope they don't completely white-wash it. It's so heart-breaking. If you need a pick me up after the movie, try reading Nurtured by Love, by Shinichi Suzuki. It's the true story of a man who…

Maybe racist internet trolls should take a long look at the First Amendment, because it doesn't just apply to hate speech. Jezebel and anyone else has a right to free speech as well, and that includes objecting to racist tweets. Why do conservatives think that free speech only applies to them, and not the people…

I can't wait to read the new Phillip Pullman book—I loved His Dark Materials.
