Fuck Butz. He’s an asshole.

I think all of Gawker Media is being hesitant with the outing stuff nowadays.

“I respect your view,” the politician said, “patting Mr. Kierstead on the shoulder and starting to walk away.”

The Puritan Backroom is also the name of my Salem Witch Hunt-themed gay sex dungeon.

St John is a nightmare. The unnerving thing is that I understand him in a way that I don’t understand Rochester. His psychology is so much more realistic, in fact I think I’ve known quite a few St Johns in my life. Rochester is, well, there’s no mold for him.

I am so happy that my boyfriend is an excellent gift-giver. I’ve never had one of those before (I’ve only had horrific relationships, actually), and it’s a revelation. For Christmas, he’ll add little extras to my main gift, like 3 or 4 books. We read like the glasses-wearing nerds that we are, and for him to think…

Someone commented this on the original article, but I think it bears repeating.

I can’t find it now, but I JUST read a post about this. The girl is saying that guys complain when she won’t pretend to like sports for them. “But what if you’re dating a guy who does, won’t you watch it with him?”

The most fun part of it was that he had been arguing that I didn’t think about him enough.

Plus she imagines St. John observing “all the forms of love” and just. can’t. get with it. Bleeech.

I always love the St. John chapters because, while the Rochester/Jane romance is of course central to the book, we are ultimately reading to find out about Jane’s development and her path to finding a home and family.…

Jezebel: More of this, please. Fantastic.

“woman are still the meteorologists of mood”

I personally, especially as I get older, find the St. John chapters of Jane Eyre fascinating, and St. John himself the personification of “unaware that he’s unaware” privilege, a striking contrast to Big Daddy Rochester; his money, his demands, his prickly personality, his horror show of a marriage and how he dealt…

I really love the premise of this article. The Adams quote - brilliant! Well done.

Damn. Its hard to grow dismissive of Jezebel (while, don’t get me wrong, consuming it like a box of Cheese-Its) when every now and then a post like this comes out.

We have had to deal with this. The kiddos are older, now, (late elementary school), but still, if we go to the IL’s, my husband asks to see where the guns are, and ensures that they are secure. If not, then they will be immediately secure, or we leave.

Don’t let them gaslight you! My friend was at a family gathering with her little kids, and her dad got up and his tiny gun fell onto the chair and he didn’t even notice...AT A FUCKING FAMILY BBQ! She will not let him be around her children while armed. It’s a totally legitimate request.

My dad has guns now because he’s a conservative and decided to do it on principle (he had a working replica musket and no bullets when I was growing up that took 20 minutes and skill to load- I know he has at least two more modern guns now).
