The deadly thing about "bless your heart" is that it isn't *always* an insult. It can be - and often is - a genuine benediction. I feel like I have to explain this on the internet pretty regularly, and I'm concerned that it's going to get super twisted and lose all meaning. (Sigh. As things often do.)

I have lived in France for the past five years and I absolutely do not want the law to change. People also need to stop assuming that things are "dead" here on the weekends. Or that the ones who are against this law are Americans who have never lived in Europe. To whoever said banks and post offices are closed on…

I have a similar problem when I tell people where I'm from, and I just respond really rudely so they see the stupidity of their ways.

Learn some fucking science, "Food Babe."

Ugh. People.

The man's proposal to me? Hey, I just realized that if I die before you, my government pension is non-transferable. Maybe we should get married in case. I L.O.V.E. this man!

You can't leave out the fact that it was like this as a result of priapism (prolonged erections that result from the blood getting trapped in the penis) and was now impeding his ability to get an erection at all or walk around like a normal person.

Ummmmm DUH... The answer is obviously the Manatea... Because its a goddamn adorable manatee!

When you go mingle with other cultures, it's imperative to show respect, especially in holy places. That means making sure you're dressed respectfully, and if you aren't, then don't go in.

Good evening, Jezzies! I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I think it likely that the references were informative. Due to the victim's relation with an civil rights activist who was assassinated for racial reasons, it makes sense to provide context of the murderer to give information for readers to help determine if she was killed for the same reasons.

yip.

I always tell my friends who are concerned about the environmental side of eating meat that it is difficult but far from impossible to find a butcher who is specialized in small or ancestral farming business.

You mean, Dissociative Identity Disorder Jezebel. It's important to get your worn-out mental illness allusions right, you know.

It's an award that you earn by completing all kinds of different career-prep workshops and things over the three years leading up to the summer after your junior year. They give each student who completes the prerequisites up to $3000 to take an unpaid internship; if your internship pays, then you can get less money…

I like pumpkin ale but brewers need to calm down with that stuff. It's gotten ridiculous.

But but but . . . craft beer is generally higher in alcohol content and a much more effective way to get shitfaced. So Budweiser is basically implicitly stating that its product exists for people with no taste buds who want to get really drunk really slowly.

Big cats like boxes, too.

I know quite a bit about mental illness, and I don't know that I need my doctorate to feel (that's a key part of my original comment: I feel.) that a person doesn't engage in that degree of body modding without lingering trauma or body image issues. I don't need to be a meteorologist to know when it snows.

My home town will annihilate any other place in the US when it comes to ridiculous swingers. (Dayton Swim Club was closed. It is now called Club 101 and the website, even though it was designed in 2010, is straight out of your 2001 Angelfire worst nightmare. It even has DOLLZ.)
