I've got issues with it because I feel like if we as a collective (on Jez and in the feminist community) have a HUGE ISSUE with women being sexually mutilated (and rightly so, we should) then this shouldn't fly either. I can't really think of a super compelling argument as to why this can be a joke but something like…

Girls can have anal sex...?

Ah that is correct, I'd sort of forgotten that. Ah well... apparently only 80 people wanted to listen to watch a Mamet music vid.

That's why I put philosophy in quotations. I don't have the same amount of Palmer rage as you do but the whole celebrities asking for dolla$$$ thing is mighty bizarre indeed.

Oh yeah, I don't even really like Palmer and what she did was a bit shady (especially replying to some musician's critique of her kickstarter saying something to the effect of "well I did gigs for free therefore all musicians should too") but at least she had a... "philosophy" behind it? The Mamet's just seem out of…

This lady doesn't have any money kicking around from being an Emmy award winning HBO show? AT ALL? At least Amanda Palmer tried to make her kickstarter about distancing herself from the hyper-corporate music industry and uniting fans or whatever. GO CRY IN YOUR WOODPILE MAMETS.

I couldn't even say the word "fart" in my house growing up (I still can't say that word, it feels gross to me...) But now my parents will tolerate some pretty base level swears (shit, crap, hell, damn) but heaven forbid you should say JESUS CHRIST or another religious phrase aggressively, because that's a no-no. My…

I find running somewhere I really love helps because I have really positive associations between the two. I run in the woods near my house, I'm really lucky to have it there, and so when I think running I think of sunshine and fresh air and lots of green and it makes me want to go out and do run. Running outside is…

Some of it is intent, which obviously isn't easy to read all the time in strangers unless you're psychic. If you hold a door open for a person who happens to be female because you feel like being kind/polite/helping people out, hurray good end of story. But you see a woman coming to the door and open it SPECIFICALLY…

Really? I live in Canada and most mainstream stores stock 12's with the occasional 14 thrown in. I'm ridiculously busty and a decent portion of my wardrobe is from Anthropologie. Maybe it's slightly different in Canada?

Isn't Hollister part of Abercrombie? I see people in their all the time, although how they find their way in or out I have no idea. It's a bro-maze in there.

I got Violet Lemon, which I copyright now for my twee teen-lit series I'm now going to write.

When I was super duper low, I found reading Stephen King novels oddly soothing because one, they are really nice escapism and two, they sort of translate all of your horrible feelings into horrible events on the page and it's a weird... I can't even explain it really but reading about intense scary things happening to…

Ah yes, that is true.

Can we count Cersei Lannister as a working m0m anti-hero? Does being murderous royalty count as a job? This girl says "yes it does."

*RUNS TO BUY CARDIGANS*

Oh CBC, finally good for something besides my jazz kick. Thanks!

Oh man cool, good to know! I really hope something does change although its so hard to know how to press for that change and what exactly it'll be.

If anyone else is a Joe Fresh junkie like me, they also signed the pact which is good news. Although I may wait a while before I shop there again just to be sure this isn't some super sketchy "I-signed-but-nothing-will-be-done" thing, which it may very well be.

Yeah for real, a few studs and safety pins (OH GAWD HOW ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT OF YOU!!!) does not punk make. I wanted to see some chipped nail-polish hot mess crusty Courtney Love style realness all over the carpet but Hollywood, eh, they don't get it. Instead they STUCK IT TO THE MAN with...Dior. Gasp.
