Puritans are the perfect example of “What happens when you are scared out of your mind all the time.”

I think it’s also important to bring up the rural vs. urban factor, such as it was at the time. A lot of research has been done into the fact that the majoirty of the accusers were from the more rural parts of Salem (often called Salem Farms when dividing it up) while a lot of the accused were from the town proper…

Second that. This is vintage Jezebel, good stuff.

One of the most interesting figures in US history. Great article.

That is false. But you know that. There are a lot of appealing things about Hillary Clinton.

Judging by your lack of understanding, I’d say apparently it’s a bit more complicated than you think.

Lawd have mercy. The devil is a lie and so are your words.

It’s amazing that you could watch her concession speech or a dozen other examples and still declare such a thing. You do not speak the truth.

WE can’t let this happen to us.

Wait until the trade wars start. When people can’t get shitty electronics or avocados at cheap prices...

You sold me with the last point.

DO IT. If Secretary Clinton’s campaign put up a Go Fund Me to pay for the costs involved, I’m sure they’d be funded by morning.

Trump’s idea of “doing well” means taking rights away from a lot of people. So no, I don’t hope he does well.

The SS Constitution. Sank on its way to being scrapped.

Well, being a fascist president is Snow picnic, to Coin a phrase.

I just had someone say that I should apply at the VA for a nursing job. (I’m looking to diversify my skill set because shit’s about to get real in healthcare, and I don’t want to be a pigeonholed nurse). This article has made me think better of it. VA already has ridiculously poor staffing, and few presidents have…

You seem to know a lot about her, so can you explain how I should feel about this slightly older poet guy who had a crush on me when I was 17 constantly comparing me to her? Should I feel weird about that? He was weird.

I feel like — having studied just a bit about her over the last 1.5 years — that she was seriously gaslighted by A. her husband’s and his friends’ misogyny combined with B. the inherent misogyny of her culture and psychotherapeutic culture — because she wasn’t a “good wife” in the sense of what “good wives” were, and…

What about the movie “Nora”? It does look at her through James’ eyes, if I recall, but we see a lot of her story. Plus, Ewan McGregor, so extra points for that.
