There’s something in the Satanic creed about highly valuing science, so I’m pretty sure the atheists are welcome!

Wow. That post was really uncalled for. That’s not the kind of content (or professional behavior) I want to see on Jez.

Agreed. I was glad to see Weinstein’s response, and I was hoping more staff writers would step up like that. He’s definitely one of their top tier writers in terms of consistent quality.

The more I read from/about Vargas-Cooper, the less I like her philosphies about writing/reporting. There were some significant issues with her reporting on Serial-related articles, and afteward she left The Intercept for Jez. I

Perhaps the Satanic Temple will use this as an opportunity for some more wonderful trolling. The more the Republicans double down on ridiculous things like this, the more inclined I am to become a card-carrying Satanist.

It looks like I’d have to jump through some hoops with my DRMed files and getting some things out of the cloud. Not as easy as I’d like, but might be worth a second look when I upgrade next. Thanks!

Agreed. If it seemed easy to port an iTunes library to Android, I’d consider switching much more seriously.

That’s my guess as well. They look structurally different from ballet heels, which are most often seen in fetish wear and often require specific training if you’re going to wear them for any length of time and/or walk in them.

That one bothers me. I work with a fair amount of well-to-do, travelling types and they’re just aghast at the fact that I don’t like to travel. I’ve done a fair amount of it, I don’t enjoy it, and I’d rather stay home. That doesn’t make me uncultured or ignorant; it makes me an introvert who loves predictability. Viva…

I can definitely vouch for the landlord piece. A while back I lived in a duplex and my landlord owned and was selling both units. The person who bought the house had me as a tenant for the duration of my lease, and prospective homebuyers who read me as ethnically ambiguous tried all kinds of verbal acrobatics to…

I have thought about apocalypse survival a lot, but I’ve never considered this! I’ll definitely add raiding pharmacies for condoms/cranberry pills/yeast infection meds/etc. to my list of priorities.

Great point. It’s also helpful to consider what you might need if you’re traveling and taking medication with you. Different countries have different laws, and this is something some travelers don’t anticipate.

I’m guessing that bears too much resemblance to something like sex ed, even if it’s the victim blaming, slut shaming variety.

Side note: I’d totally listen to all-girl band called Coronas and Cupcakes.

Me three! I’m tired of having to roll down the waistband on pants/jeans/sweats/everything ever so I don’t look like a 95 year old man. Long live low-rise jeans, if the gods that be can’t see fit to give us varying rise jeans as a matter of course.

I read somewhere that he also had his wife cut the movie in part because she had no experience editing action films so that it would read less stereotypically. AWESOME.

Me too! I texted my best male friend and asked if this is what dudes feel like every time they leave the theater, because this was the first time I felt catered to as a female viewer. The men were really only supporting characters, there was a wide variety of women who existed for own sake, and many of them were…

Ugh, it is so catchy. I bought the damn thing and now it can go on my Misogyny Playlist of Shame.

I feel you. My family’s Mexican and my dad started asking me when I was going to have kids while I still in high school. When I declined my boyfriend’s marriage proposal my senior year of high school (my boyfriend was my age, but a sophomore. A sophomore!), my dad was heartbroken. Everybody then assumed I was secretly…

I’m with you. His family raised a stand-up kid.
