You have my best wishes. I’ve discovered most people (this corner of the internet excluded, mostly) don’t understand or care how hard it can be. For what it's worth, many internet strangers are rooting for you!

I bet he secretly ate it, just to test his resolve, and was delighted to discover he could eat “Asian food" and still hate them at the same time. That was the day he knew he'd go far.

This reminds me of lectures I've received in literature classes. I'm not exactly sure how this fits into Jezebel's new mandate, unless it's a well-veiled resignation letter?

Well, sure, that makes sense. Hey, there’s “In the Kitchen with David” (which I adore), why not “In the field with Cleetus and Carrie”?

This is what always puzzles me. How can you be pro-life AND pro-unregulated-as-much-as-cars-are-guns? I know, saving fetus is just a red herring for CONTROL ALL WOMEN, but still. If they are going to lie, can they at least be consistent?

Seconded. People should never, EVER, bring up Star Wars as a normative fandom. Just...ugh.

It was probably a typo, but I enjoyed your probably unintended sewing reference. It even made sense to me, and I was halfway through commenting when I realized you probably meant "them". Heh.

“All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said.

I think you are making a Weird logical jump.

I was thinking the exact same thing, subwaysandwichsmell. Creepy people exist regardless of hobby/interest. Also, many awesome people exist, who just try to keep their heads down and not draw the ire of the public.

This. So much this.

Ok, that was actually pretty funny.

Thanks for running this. It was really...welcoming. And informative in a “big sister” sort of way rather than a glossy brochure way.

Great comment.

Exactly. And really scary that we’ve come to the point where one can make ACCURATE Nazi comparisons to GOP front runners.

This .gif is awesome.

Also: So glad to hear the Slot is staying! Also would like to be ungrayed, but am concerned that doing so will be a harbringer of doom. Every blog I was ungrayed on got shuttered. So...sorry?

I agree entirely. And am impressed you answered, knowing perfectly well what some of the responses would be. But like all Jez editors, I suspect your armor is very, very thick.
