No one fucking cares what you think of her physical appearance. Your comment is pointless, tone-deaf and insulting.

Jezzies, I will (hopefully) be graduating in December. When I graduate, at the very least, I will have to move out of my current apartment (it's student housing). From there, I have NO CLUE where I'm going to go. I don't know whether I'm going to just put all my stuff in storage (probably) and go home to NC for a…
I'm know I'm a lovely shade of palest dove gray, but I just have to shout this one: I'M NOT FUCKING PREGNANT! I'm smiling reading through the comments section and seeing that others are getting their reproductive answers granted - babies in wombs, yay!-but I do not want little ones. I just don't. My husband feels…
I made the decision to follow up my thyroidectomy and left neck dissection in Februrary with RAI treatment in Sept/Oct. I was originally scheduled in May, but I canceled it because it scares the shit out of me. Way more than my surgery did. My endo says she will treat me with the lowest doses she can, assuming the…
I'm following the twitter feeds of several reporters and locals, and my impression from what they're saying is the same - the people looting weren't the protesters, looked like teenagers, and were much smaller in number than the protesters.
Ugh, what a clustercuss. I get the sense that what people are REALLY mad about is not so much the curfew—you say "it's not peace, it's silence," but silence is not an unreasonable request at 2 a.m. in a residential area. People are mad about the lack of answers in the shooting, and the apparent focus on all the…
As some of you may have read, yesterday, I got a call from my sexually and physically abusive ex-boyfriend. This is a guy who said "I'll straighten out your slanted eyes," then beat me when I refused to have sex with him.
I did it!!!!
Oh god. A classmate who worked at Starbucks informed me of that last year and it almost ruined my life (and my bank balance took a definite hit).
TEAM PEPPERMINT MOCHA FOR LIFE.
COFFEE SHOULD NOT TASTE LIKE PUMPKIN ANYTHING. ABOMINATION!
Fuck this article, I'm starting a thread
I feel like it's not so much retaliation for the porn gifs being all over Jezebel, as it is an excuse to troll us here at the same time (with slightly different spam content, of course). I bet it's the same asshole/s that are fucking shit up at Jez.
See, 99% of new visitors will NOT know that "tech support" is where we should report trolls. That's a big problem. It would be one of the last places I'd go to report someone who was trolling me, or who was abusing another user.
At pretty much every blogging job I've ever had, I've been told (by male managers) that it'd be a death sentence to moderate comments and block IP addresses, because it "shuts down discourse" and guts traffic. But no one's ever shown me any actual numbers that support that claim. Does anyone have any? Not that I think…
It's terrible to hear that commenters could potentially be fired for looking at the website due to the GIFs. While I try to be active in comments (and honestly, that's one of my favorite parts of the job), it makes me anxious to think that people could get in trouble because I am writing and sourcing links instead of…
Jezebel has always attracted far more numerous and vitriolic trolls and harassers than any other GM site. There are a lot of twisted, angry people out there who are particularly enraged when women speak in public. In the star days I would often flit around on Deadspin, Gawker, IO9, and look at their pinks. There were…
Wow, thank you guys so much for writing this. To be honest, the mods have been dealing with this on and off for years. It's never been as bad as this. But back when we had main page abilities, we were able to remove the content alongside authors and tech. It helped protect our readers, our writers, everyone. It's…
It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.
The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.
