oh come on. I think the sketch reflected what a lot of (privileged white) people are thinking this week. the fuck am I, a person who lives in a blue city that is 50% black, going to do about these lunatics in the south except share preachy memes and fight with my aunt on FB? It’s awful and we know it’s awful but there…

so are we just ignoring the fact that s/he was a transgender kid in Northeast PA, aka Trump country? Poor kid didn’t stand a chance.

Literally the greatest piece of television ever crafted.

I’m laughing at this harder than I should. All the stars.

for the record I was told by sibling to use third person pronouns when they came out to parents and I. but I never said anything so you wouldn’t have known :)

that... is an excellent idea. I could do it like a what-not-to-wear reveal party with all the cool family members. sibling gets a day all to themselves and people will already be prepped with the news by the time my wedding rolls around so it won’t be as big of a deal. thank you!

this will probably end up in the greys but I’m hoping the wise women of Jez can offer some counsel.

Good, we’re all going to need it.

So, question. If a Philly Gawker/Jezebel reader is walking through Center City on the way home from work and happens to catch site of a Gawker/Jezebel writer, are ya’ll comfortable with that reader coming up and fangirling chatting for a minute or two? Or should we not disturb the Serious Journalist?

thank you! BF made me switch to Game of Thrones right at 9 so I had to miss it live. This is the first time I got to see any of the actual choreography. Awesome!

I was at Kohl’s the other day and picked up bralettes from the Junior’s section that were being marketed as sports bras but the band and fit were very comfortable. They’re now my weekend t-shirt-and-sweats-with-netflix bras. Highly recommended.

here is my two cents nobody asked for: Not quite sure why the Unicorns can’t just form their own Girl Scout troop and do outdoor stuff with girls their own age. The whole point of these organizations is to develop skills and friendships among a gender-specific peer group. If you don’t want to participate according to…

ah, that makes more sense. So they’re asking for patients who billed MA for random services and ALSO got an abortion but may not have billed that to MA.

my understanding is that unless the woman a) filed a police report immediately after being raped b) has undeniable, irrefutable proof that she was raped, or c) is currently in the process of dying and the one and only thing that will save her is an abortion, a claim submitted to the insurance provider for an abortion…

this is why I’m half-assing my 401k. By the time this generation reaches retirement age, the Man will have successfully eliminated retirement as an option and we’ll have to work until we’re dead. Like people have been doing for the first 4,960 years of human civilization. I’d rather put that money towards stuff I can…

I work for a Medicaid company in PA. Maybe I’m not understanding the inquiry, but Medicaid does not pay for abortions. So if the state is asking for any medical records related to patients who received an abortion paid for by Medicaid... they won’t get any records. Texas has private insurance companies managing their…

my mom is an ER nurse. She told me once of a man who came in from a motorcycle accident on the highway. somehow pressure built up so much in the man’s helmet head exploded as they were bringing him in to the hospital.

When I was a senior in college, my Latina room-mates and their friend were accosted by members of the football team on their way home from the bar at 2am. The men shouted racial slurs and sexual threats and surrounded them completely so the girls could not get out until one of the girls kicked a boy in the balls and…

“Butthole of the country”? Fuck you, Joanna.

So on Sunday I broke my old water bottle. I remembered, “oh! my favourite website has a list of best water bottles! I shall purchase one from that list!” So Sunday night I bought this EXACT SAME WATER BOTTLE for $18. And now it’s on sale! Figures.
