This was a great article, but I really hope it wasn’t a response to “less politics, more girly thing, like makeup!”

Has anyone been ungreyed on Jezebel in the last 6 months? Genuinely curious, and what was the magic post?

Commentariat is waning because they leave so many people floating in the greys with no rhyme or reason to get out. Then you can get banished back to the greys with no explanation. I have loved Jezebel for so long, but I feel like I’m holding on to a shell and crying “why must everything I love go away?”

She wouldn’t vote if she could. She had to ask someone off stage (lawyer?) if that were true. I’m pretty sure she was out for the last presidential election. She probably thinks voting is for ugly girls.

Teresa gave it away last night that she doesn’t even vote, which in her case is probably for the best, I guess. She openly said that she’s hoping Trump pardons her, and Andy said, “you can’t even vote, right?” Teresa asks someone off stage (lawyer?) if that’s true. Her kids have my deepest sympathies. Gia, at least,…

I’m not sure how short-term, but she wasn’t one that I remember being around long now that you mention it. As long as I’ve been on Jezebel, I still don’t know they rhyme or reason to getting out of the greys. In the beginning, I think you’d get out of the greys if one of your comments got so many likes. It’s funny…

I was once out of the greys. It was a glorious time that lasted about 2 years or so. I’ve visited Jezebel on an almost daily basis for 10 years and started commenting about 5 years ago. Then I made the grave mistake of suggesting that the article trashing thedailyskimm had a mean girl vibe, even though I wasn’t…

It was a lightbulb moment that I saw it from Desean’s/ my boyfriend’s perspective. My boyfriend has said some version of the same, but because I’m so wrapped up in my own feelings, I’m not sure I’ve really heard him. It made me realize the times that I may be unreasonable, and I don’t want to drive him away in the way…

I binged the show last night, and I can’t get it off my mind. I feel like I was married to a much less handsome and financially successful, but no less narcissistic, Mau. When Annie talked about him being “mean,” and he could not comprehend it because he holds her on such a pedestal and wants to fuck her constantly, I…

Personal anecdote as an example for why it’s HARD to get people off of their employer paid insurance: my boyfriend was laid off a year ago from a major international corporation that he’d worked for since college, and he’s now 42. He’s never been self-employed or unemployed and neither has anyone in his family. I have…

I forgot about Salon. I had to quit following them after they flooded my facebook feed with the same article posts every single day. Same thing with the Atlantic. I haven’t read Wonkette in years, but I do like to check into Vox, and god forbid, theSkimm.

It’s been harder for me after being banished to the greys for the mistake of criticizing a writer for being a mean girl, who quit a week later anyway, but I still come to Jezebel everyday for the last 10 years because of the comments. I haven’t found another community to latch on to in the same way.

Texted my 15 yo to ask if we have to get Disney Plus, so that she can watch 24 hours of Camp Rock. She hadn’t even heard of the streaming service and asked if they were going to have “all of the old stuff,” i.e. Camp Rock. 

I have a friend who adopted a Marshallese child from the states. They have an open adoption with her son visiting the extended biological family at least once a year, and the mother gets pictures. She posted about this story in a private group page for friends that this man always gave her the creeps, and that he was…

I haven’t really gotten into Conan, even though it’s in my Stitcher downloads. I’ll look for it.

Don’t listen to Stern, but I heard his Fresh Air interview when his latest book came out, and he was very open with how much therapy has improved his life. 

It was like being married to an emotionally abusive narcissist: “You telling me I’m abusive is abusive.”

One of the highlights of the Kristen Gillebrand interview on NYT’s The Daily podcast was when she made the point that his successor is doing just fine and is a valuable and contributing member of the Senate.

When I filed for divorce and my ex lost his mind, I took my 12 yo daughter to Disney World that weekend.

“You mean it was like the promenade retail center, but it was enclosed and air conditioned? It sounds awesome*!!”
