This is one of the most helpful and insightful self awareness/self development articles on Jezebel I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks to Brandy and the nuanced comments as well. 

Marauding racist, abuser, and liar continues marauding all over the place in full view, and only when he’s called out do other members of the HFPA say an extremely gentle, “Oh really, Mr Berk, ha ha ha, that was a little bit naughty, oh well.” The white supremacist system was designed for/by people like Berk. Sounds…

I’ve got to say that reading (most of) your comments here is somewhat heartening. To read the responses of numerous people who understand abuse dynamics (and the mechanisms abusers use to cover their tracks) gives me a tiny glimmer of hope. In contrast to the comments (now closed) on the NYT review of this program -…

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful news. It goes nicely with the news today that Carolyn Mazloomi, founder of the Women of Color Quilters Network, was just awarded the United States Artists Beresford Prize for her quilting and activism. https://www.unitedstatesartists.org/fellow/carolyn-l-mazloomi/

I’ve been on Instagram for almost 10 years, sharing process videos in a particular art medium as a way of inspiring others and honing my practice. I earned a huge number of followers. 

I quarter them lengthwise, then fry them in a cast iron skillet with olive oil, butter, garlic, shallots, bacon, thyme, salt and pepper. Absolute YUM. 

How do you heat deli meat? Oven? Microwave? Steam it? Also, doesn’t it taste super gross if you heat it? 

The brownie situation was truly a jaw-dropper. I have a theory that the folks on this season are way more tightly wound because of the pandemic, and it’s impacting their baking. I’m watching the season with Nadiya at the same time, and by comparison to the current lot they’re all waaaaaay more chill.

It’s an outrage, for sure. And yes it is in the same category as the rainbow bagels - forget the color abomination, but did you see the structure? It was all air-hole-y and not dense as it should have been. The hole was too big as well. There was no slight sheen on the outside. She does not know from Jewish food.

Ok. I go to two grocery stores every 2-4 weeks - one is for produce, the other for paper goods and soda and poptarts. Don’t judge me. The two stores are close together. I realized on the short drive one to the other the other day, that I did not remove my mask in the car and likely looked like an imbecile. It was just…

This is horrific. I know someone who represents women targeted by gender-based violence, and who was stalked and harassed by this murderer for years. I have an absolute chill running down my spine.

So what if he wasn’t violent towards those former partners? It has nothing to do with whether or not he was violent to Heard. Same with lots of abuses. I so frequently hear former partners say, “he never hit me, he couldn’t have hit that other person,” or colleagues (like those of Weinstein) say, “he never raped me,…

“I’m not sure if I’m imagining it now as a result of my reading, but the smell, texture, and lungfeel of the air reminds me of my childhood.”
