I’ll have to google this. Not watching a fucking video

YOU GET PAID TO WRITE THIS CRAP? SERIOUSLY?

Someone described this guy as Dennis the Menace with lip injections, and now that's all I see. 

I think what really makes this article transcend from simply bad take to hilariously lacking in self-awareness is how they attempt to act like they’re progressive/feminist by sprinkling in words like “patriarchal” while espousing the traditional misogynistic view of valuing women only in accordance with desirability.

Where the fuck were this girl’s parents?

In fairness, it is a weird torso.

This is a really long article to write about the fact that a club no one has ever heard of is closing due to the owners own negligence in operation.

It seems like if you're going to open a legally sketchy business, you'd at least get all your building permits and stuff in order. Why ask for the trouble?

Yup. I read this book sometime in about 1972. It was like reading a horror novel with sex. Very thrilling. All the girls I knew read it. We’d read it out loud at pajama parties and squeal with horror and laughter. Good times. Didn’t really have the intended effect though. The main thing I remember about it was it was

I basically burned through most anti-depressants. Either they didn’t work, gave me horrific side effects (one gave me explosive rage issues, it was terrifying), or they worked, until the no longer worked.

Well, I’ll raise my hand. It 100% scared me off drugs. But so did the story about Art Linklater’s daughter jumping off the roof and dying while on acid. Gullible kids come sit by me.

Yep. I remember finding this thing in the school library circa 1981 and I was like “holy shit!”

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas did it for me.

Acid was the first drug I was really high on, and I also read this in middle school. Never made the connection till now!

You know what would be awesome?!? If a Jez writer would interview casting directors to discuss their process when it comes to casting PoC, specifically Black women.

There’s also the old anti-woman slant of comparing women in the hopes that one of them will say something disparaging about the other.  Already people falling into that hole in the comments.

Thanks for posting this. Joni Mitchell is a major goddess in my personal pantheon.

Besotted by health issues...” You don’t mean ‘besotted’, that means ‘infatuated’. Maybe ‘beset’?
