Not to mention the lives of others. I bet Ariana Grande read this and thought, “smart.”

After the recent horrifying spate of terrorist attacks on concert venues, I don’t blame any performer for any precautions they feel they have to take.... including never getting on a stage again. 

This article speaks far more about the length women have to go to protect themselves from stalkers than anything privacy related. The law does not protect us and that’s terrifying.

Yeah. In addition to the artists’ video and the stadium security cams....given how many fans’ cell phones are waving in the air snapping and recording at concerts....zero expectation of privacy.

Preach.

Jezebel’s Politics is flatlining. I have no idea why the invasive technology this site uses to sell me shit is more morally self-aware than Taylor Swift’s attempt to try and save her own fucking life.

So? That people have been doing something for thousands of years because they didn’t know better is not a very good argument. Women couldn’t vote or own property in my culture for thousands of years. Medicine used to consist of bloodletting, homeopathy and superstition. I’m glad society has evolved

My Mom buys into astrology. She was a teenage runaway in ‘69 and her and my dad were very bohemian. But she had her natal charts and would do readings. She started out as skeptic doing it for fun, at some point it morphed into an open belief. She’s retired now, and had a real job since ‘85. I used to sorta make fun of…

May it pass quickly. Pantone colors of the year frequently get worked into fashion (coral is pretty flattering for many skin tones, so that’s fine). But it’s dreadful for interior design. There was a period in the late 50s-early 60s when coral colored upholstery was rather popular. It’s probably the only mid-century…

Pardon me, but you forgot slumps, grunts and sonkers!

Wow-- not surprising, really, because men will do anything to silence women. Run, Kelly, run.

Oh, I totally failed to say this yesterday, but your username is an excellent Discworld deep cut.

You know who I always thought would make a good Cruella? Joanna Lumley. Apparently, Glenn Close’s Cruella was partly modeled on Patsy Stone.

correct. Women should basically stop eating altogether until you are extinct. Then all men will have to become gay until we also become extinct.

Where does the line get placed on this though? Do we not eat female plants? What about those awkward branches that don’t fit between plants and animals?

They’re so cool and everything I want to be when I get older.
