At my previous job, the founder was a big time art collector, particularly southwestern art. The conference room I was interviewed in had a Georgia O’Keefe painting in it and it was hanging behind the interviewers head. I kept wondering how many people were aware what that cattle skull with the horns and flowers

I was confused why she thought that was wrong.

“My flower ended up looking suspiciously like a vagina. I threw it away once I got home.”

i miss him so much. the piece he did about waiting to meet Grumpy Cat made me laugh forever. I nominate it as his runner up.

Mark’s twitter says he’s getting an eye surgery today. He shared a video of the procedure and it is the most gross terrifying thing he’s ever shared.

He was one of my favourites. A huge loss for jezebel.

I loved Mark’s article about his wedding to Alan. It was great and thought provoking. I miss Mark.

Dude, I have a Lochlan, born in 2014, and this article is pissing me off. It’s a perfectly good name, and kind of sounds like Kyle McLachlan. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

oh my God I couldn’t figure out why she looked so familiar but you just cracked the case

DEAR GOD I CANNOT UNSEE THIS!

So good....

I can honestly say, if my mom had felt the need to abort me, I would understand and be OK with it. I know anti-choice activists like to snakily ask that “Well what if your mom had an abortion?” and my thought it, if she’d needed to, and did, fine, because I love her and would have wanted her to do what was best for

That couple was clearly April Ludgate and Andy Dwyer.

My sides reached orbit at “first generation Fat-Lesbian”. I only hope that one day, I too will be able to find someone who will stare down assholes while I dance to songs from the 70s.
