I’m of the hope that there will be a quiet writer’s rebellion that will restore as much of l’ancien régime as possible before anyone is the wiser.

I really do not want them to transform Jezebel into a gossip tabloid.

I still need to talk about this: the current changes in Gawker Media, the firings and the closing of sub-blogs like Millihelen, The Vane and Kitchenette are still on my mind. Also, that post on the treatment of women by GM really left a bitter taste in my mouth. I really like this place, have liked it since its…

So I haven’t exactly been MIA recently, but I have been less engaged over the past three weeks or so. Whoops!

I know I shouldn’t be (as I’ve lived a long enough to have seen it regularly) but I’m constantly amazed at the mean streak and lack of empathy a huge portion of our population seems to suffer from. Are they lacking some part of their brain that allows them to put themselves in someone else’s shoes?

This is so terribly sad to me. I’m not sure if I am just in a particularly morose mood, but I just can’t with this.

I got fired from Barnes & Noble for using a gift card that had like 2 dollars left on it after a customer left it for me. I was told anything given in the store belongs to the store.

Buy if he’d taken them out of the cart (so customers don’t have to use carts with empty beer cans in them) and thrown them in the trash, that would be fine, right? Because it’s not like Wal-Mart wanted them. Wal-Mart just didn’t want him having them. Logically.

And this is the kind of stuff the red-staters in fly over country are willing to die to support. Funny thing is they often work for the same wages under similar conditions.

I’m just imagining a sad gorilla with an iPhone. “Wait...so u no girlfriend?”

I think I have left one night stands immediately after boning for every reason you listed. Most guys are cool with that, but every once in awhile you get someone who is like ‘but u girlfriend now’ over text as you’re walking back to your place, and then you know you made the right choice.

A green card means that you’ve been granted permanent resident status, which means that you have indefinite permission to live and work in the US. The big difference between permanent residency and citizenship (other than some voting rights and stuff which aren’t really relevant to this situation) is that permanent…

“making permanent legal residents show the company a new green card after their original expired.”

I mean why fight over 8 seconds worth of revenue? Not saying they aren’t guilty but for such a small amount they’d certainly settle 100% of the time right?

The Hemsworth are like koalas.

Yeah, I’ve shaved my head twice. The first time was a cry for help. The second time wasn’t, I just remembered how good it felt the first time and really felt like doing it. Anyway, I got teased a lot the first time (I was a cute girl in college, and many people felt the need to communicate their disapproval) and what…

“The ladies of The View are tired of apologizing.” - then maybe stop being assholes?

Why can’t people just adopt!? Fuck! Someone, pleae make adopting easier!

There’s a Parasitic Worm in Bolivia That’s Making Women Have More Children

It is heartbreaking. It would be heartbreaking even if there weren’t kids involved and even if you divorced him. Infidelity sucks.
