I may be screaming into the void here but I need to let this out. Read more

We recently went from renting to owning, and the house we were renting had a den and a living room. The home we bought has one living room, and my husband and I are simpatico to a degree that I didn’t think was real. We often say we have a cuddling problem, which is that cuddling often makes us late for work, and when… Read more

Esther, it feels like everything is on borrowed time at this point, so I just wanted to say thanks for all your work here. Jezebel has been “my” corner of the internet for 8 years, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that there were some days when looking forward to reading Jez was the one thing I could bring myself… Read more
