There were 276 female students kidnapped from that school. Fewer than a third have been released or escaped.  This weekend’s release represents less than 10% of the kidnapping victims.

That’s a good point. I usually feel the need to defend her by talking about her outreach efforts but it would be better to just counter with the founding fathers and their idealization.

It’s good to have at least one supportive member of your family, at least. But yeah if she gave her son even an abbreviated version of the talk she and you had he’d probably stop taking that tack.

Call your grandmother and tell her she needs to teach her son some respect.

There are still people out there, to this day, that like to insult the reputation and character of Margaret Sanger. That should tell you more than enough about how fragile our reproductive rights still are.

I’m surprised at you, actually. There’s more than one type of “of color.” And frankly, if Kanye’s show is 97% non-white and of the same race (not necessarily true), and all the models walking are >60% white, doesn’t it stand to reason that there were shows with little to no nonwhite representation? And yet we’re…

You keep dismissing my replies AND replying to them.

Oh good. Now you’re going to tell me what “real racism” is. Yeah. Because that’s not a hallmark of screaming racist shits the world over.

I agree. I’ve dated men who are up to 15 years older than me and it always turned out that they were controlling, patronizing, or thought that they could use me in a way that a woman their own age would never put up with. Oh, and also I used to date a man in his 30s when I was 21 (on and off). I aged out of his…

This link was fantastic. I might have to bookmark it so I can read it whenever I need a pick-me-up.

I don’t think drugs were involved either way, but I guess you never know.

I’m not sure I can, the entire negative interaction was through private text messaging.

Thanks, I think I was just stressed when I agreed to a phone number exchange. His last comment about me dying before I saw 60 is just too weird to see as threatening. I blocked his number and email, but I was reading his last messages to me like “... the fuck?”

I discovered Murder, She Wrote a little over two weeks ago (I didn’t watch it last weekend because of a big exam that I fucking WON, yes you can win exams I won) and that Angela Lansbury seems like a delight.

This seems like a good enough space to vent about something that happened to me this weekend. I’ve been talking to a guy online. He pushed for a photo exchange and a phone number exchange. So far that’s ok. He liked my picture and sent me several texts a day for about a week. I mean, that’s fine. A little clingy for…

That’s hilarious.

My otolaryngologist has a camera hooked up to the ear examiner so you (and everyone else in the room) can see inside your ears. Not that gross as far as body holes rank, but still a weird experience to be gazing at a big screen of your own tympanic membrane.

Sounds like you don’t, actually, since you apparently think there are two races; white and Other. But hey, what is Jezebel for if not to spew your racist claptrap to a willing audience?

I just want you to know that I heartily approve and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Actually it sounds like maybe you don’t know what diversity means if you think the only classification of models is “white” or “other.”
