Why can’t I see any comments on any of the posts?

Wow, Emily, fuck off with your opening statement. We are really, really hurting for water here, and you’re making fun of us for it? The well at my parent’s Northern California home has completely dried up and they’ve had to leave. Whole counties are on water restriction. Half our state is on fire every year now, and…

Ok, I know it’s obligatory to dismiss Kim on this site but...this is hardly an ‘inscrutable’ statement- she’s evoked Covid-masking and pandemic social withdrawal, grief over what’s been lost due to the pandemic and the current state of American politics, ambivalence between withdrawal and engagement (which at this…

Sir Lewis! He looks absolutely stunning! 

PSA- I bought a Left on Friday high waisted bikini this year after being conditioned by instagram ads, and it is my favorite suit in years. High quality, flattering, cool color, and I really feel confident in it. Give them a try! I had to size up, fyi.

Would 100% watch. And thank you for the chance to revisit this photo of young Steinbeck, which I have spent a bit too much time googling in the past. 

This is beautifully written- congratulations and good luck on your surgery!

Drawstring and elasticated cotton/canvas/linen shorts are really big right now, and are easy to wear! You can check out the Everlane Easy Short or look some up on Etsy. I wear mine with a tank and men’s linen button up open over the whole thing, plus minimalist sandals. I’m done with cut-offs. 

I honestly can’t figure out what qualifies Joan to write for this (or any) blog. 

Was looking forward to this review this morning and I am not disappointed!! Thank you for not letting Joan do it.

Thank you! As a 90's kid from SoCal, I found myself getting worked up about this. Another moment of unfunny, unnecessary snark diminishing women from Joan.

What is this take?? Yes, the clothes are hideous, but racism? Model abuse? Sun bouncing off snow in mild weather can be quite warm. I’ve personally hiked through snow in the Sierras in shorts and a tee shirt on a clear day. Was this a joke that didn’t land? Or just terrible writing?

Um, it’s Miranda? Lambert?

Steve Irwin still hurts. 

When Justin Townes Earle died in December, I opened up the news and burst into uncontrollable sobbing. I didn’t think it was possible to hurt so much over the loss of someone you don’t know, but his music was the soundtrack to a ten-year love relationship finally lost in the chaos of COVID, to all our rambling back…

I am so tired of Joan’s poor writing. I always feel like I’m reading my high school student’s essays: random opinions without support, context, or import. But I always click because for some reason she’s given the ‘fun’ beats: fashion, celebrity etc. At least I get to look at the pretty pictures. Sigh. 

JTE created music that framed some of the best moments and joys of my life. I sobbed all morning long after hearing of his death. I felt like a part of my own life was over. I am still in disbelief that he is gone. He was a great gift to us, and he is deeply loved and missed. 

I just never related to their ethos of constant high-end consumption just to look frumpy. I figured I was too west-coast and Gen-X to get what was clearly an NYC millenial thing, but just didn’t find any of it inspirational or aspirational. The obvious inherited wealth of most of the original staff was off-putting as…

This looks nice, but I feel like I’m going to miss articles, and it feels arbitrary to have to read all articles by category. The blog scroll felt more intimate, and I didn’t have to search to find all the content. One of the reasons I read Jezebel more often than something like Slate was because of the intimacy of…

Thank you for bringing more attention to this essay- I think I held my breath through the whole thing. Adding her several books to my reading list now.
