Just a heads up: If you get shitty or mean in these comments I’ll remove them. Go be an asshole somewhere else. 

She always looks exceptionally terrible and I AM HERE FOR IT. 

I get so much joy knowing that girlfriend’s stylist clearly HAAAAATES her.

Since when do restaurant critics take and publish photos of random patrons without their permission?

I have the coat.  I don’t live in NYC.  It keeps me warm.  I will keep wearing it.  

I bought that coat a couple of years ago, didn’t even know it was a “thing” until this year. I replaced it this year because the stitching is trash and it was falling apart. I’ve moved on to a long coat by a snow sports company, because I live in Minnesota and we cannot fuck around.

So her apology for her bad response on a bad day should be coming any minute now right?

As someone who is Dessen’s age, I feel fully confident in saying “Sarah, honey, you’ve got to grow up and get over yourself.” Nothing, especially not a minor slight from a college kid, ever pushed me into going on an all-day twitter rant.

And after that tweetstorm, it is probably a very necessary grudge that has expanded to include Picoult and Weiner as well.

A Bret Stephens level of fragility is a good place to start.

“Inclusion absolutely matters, in the classroom and outside the classroom, but yelling at a single woman with absolutely no sway in the publishing or academic worlds, is not the way to get it.” 

I was particularly disturbed by Dessen’s tweets about how this one young woman’s opinion was ‘mean and cruel’ and had ruined her day. It seems this 50 year old woman has less emotional maturity than the 15 year old kids she writes about.

The problem with this is the power difference. Bestselling, millionaire authors with large fan bases are attacking an unknown college student and pretending the criticism actually hurts them in any real way. It doesn’t.

how in the world did this writer find out about this article to begin with?

Wow, what a coincidence, so did I. Unfortunately my professors saw much greater merit in books like say, Northanger Abbey, which was written precisely because Jane Austen was so annoyed by how much ridicule teen girls had to put up with for reading Gothic novels, and Frankenstein, notably written by a teen girl.

This reminds me of when Nicholas Sparks said he doesn’t write romance novels and that he was actually the natural successor to Hemingway, Shakespeare, and Euripides. (I’m 100% serious about this.)

asdkfjdk my GOD woman, get your head out of your ass. Sarah, you write shitty teen romance YA, you’re not out here writing the next Booker Prize novel. Of course a college junior, who is presumably in her twenties and you know, at university to challenge herself academically, wants to read something with more…

Man, black cats are the best. I appreciate any opportunity to share my beautiful little gremlin with the world. Heres Dahlia...she doesn’t much care for football but would make a killer table tennis player.

When I see a woman selling shittily made grade D fashion items on the home shopping channel I immediately think “Theres the person who’s going to solve this immigration thing!”

The only thing I can hear coming out of his mouth is “I’m a real boy”.
