Read The Book of Unknown Americans instead. Incredible.

Why, WHY do men think that this is acceptable behavior!??!?! Fuck yes I’m generalizing, and I don’t care. 

...the contradictory blend of hope and futility that characterizes being black in this country.

In high school I did a summer program in a laboratory at a local hospital. The other high school student in the lab was an African American woman who was far smarter and motivated than I will ever be. I had a 10 minute walk to the lab from my house and she had to take the train for over an hour to get there. I thought…

My vote is for burn that mother fucker down.

Long-time reader, first-time writer. Apologies on the length.

My family and I live north of Chicago and bought a home last year. The previous homeowner’s parents built the home (in 1986) so we thought we knew everything.

The home has a main floor, upstairs (four bedrooms), finished basement (one bedroom) and attic. The…

Ok. A. This needs to win and B. If Jezebel springs to animate any stories again this one needs to be animated.

Jim as a Buffy in disguise is just the best thing I’ve heard all day. If this was proposed to him I just picture him being like, “Slaying? Are you serious? I have to do the taxes, mow the lawn, and the Cubs play this afternoon. Screw slaying, I’m busy."

This story isn’t scary, and there are so many other stories on here that I doubt anyone will read it...but it IS true, I wanted to share it somewhere, and folks in my normal life would probably roll their eyes, so...

When I was in college 1.0 for a theater degree as a costume tech, I lived with my roomie in a scuzzy apartment complex, but the building I lived in was a very happy little microcosm of nice folks. It was the single nicest community of people I’ve ever lived with, they are relevant and...this one’s long. Because…

Two years ago, I got severely, awfully sick (probably the flu). I didn’t go to work for the entire week. It was all I could do just to keep myself drinking liquids and soup and shuffling to bed. The worst part was my husband was traveling for business, so I was all alone, just me and our sweet black cat Libby.

For my money the scariest story is still IndianaJoan’s “911 calling”.

Can you imagine trying to catch the bouquet with those tiny arms? No wonder they died out

I disagree with the headline and think the bride is the best person in America for genuinely being okay with this and defending her sister. She was okay with giving up a picture perfect wedding AND the spotlight (because let’s be real, most of the people were watching the dinosaur). That’s pretty damn cool. 

I make a lot of punches (I make a lot of everything) and frozen fruit is a party punch must. God forbid you should dilute the punch by melting ice cubes. I usually throw a lot of fruit into a tupperware container (uncovered) the night before and freeze. Then, the day of, I make the punch, the liquid ingredients of…

Scrolling past those tweets up there is like stepping around the same pile of dog shit on the sidewalk every day.

Lizzo’s Ursula would pick up a piece of coral from the bottom of the ocean and play it like a flute and it would be amazing.

Julian Castro - women deserve to be paid the same as men irrespective of whether we are mothers.  We deserve it not bc we care for kids but because we are forking humans.  FFS.  Stop equating women with mothers - we are not our biology.

The Kinja-verse regularly shills for Under Armour, whose CEO is a Trump supporter and spends the money he makes donating to republicans. Jezebel especially, and you personally, have posted articles promoting Coachella, whose owner turns around and spends the money he makes donating to anti-LGBT causes. What’s the…
