Thank you Bodyform! I will be laughing for the rest of my life!

"The Bluest Eye." What a perfect reference, since the little Breedlove girl, so destroyed, so reviled, idolizes Shirley Temple, the prettiest girl she can never, ever be like, in part because of her black skin and dark eyes, and she covets the cup with Shirley Temple's picture on it. K, gonna go bawl my eyes out now.

I feel you. Know that others are reading and appreciating your attempts at communication. I don't think I could add anything of use because this guy is just determined that black face is no different from hair dye and a perm, and I don't think he will change his mind. And I just don't have it in me today to engage…

Yeah, the number of "poor guy's life gets ruined over nothing" posts always upsets me.

I think this kind of ignorance is, at least in part, a by-product of living only among people who look/think/act like you. "How can I be racist? I've never even seen a black person, therefore I have never had the opportunity to yell a racial slur or tell them to go to the back of the bus, therefore I cannot be…

Mississippi is so relieved, we got the vapors. Lawzy!

Your keyboard to God's screen...

Sorry—intended to post a reply to a thread, not to the original post. Since I'm here, let me just say, fuck these people. They suck and are horrible and I hope one day they find something constructive to do with themselves, like raise money for orphanages.

Most of the time, the lug nuts are tightened using a hydraulic machine. Not many people are strong enough to undo them. I found that out when a friend and I had to change a flat on my car several years ago, and to get it loose enough to start turning, one of us would have to stand on the end of the wrench. Probably…

You are an evil genius! This is DEFINITELY the answer.

WORD. This is the problem. The mindless action flick gets to be a "movie" or "summer block-buster" that everyone goes to see, and that mixed gender groups will watch. The mindless girly flick is "for girls," and only girls are interested in things that are "for girls." SO DUMB. I enjoy a lot of different kinds of…

You know the worst part of this whole idiotic and speculative discussion? It's not just that nobody but Jennifer Westfeldt and John Hamm are actually "insiders" with regard to their relationship. It's the implication that if they did break up, that would be a terrible thing for her. Not that break-ups don't suck,…

So, this one time, I was at a flea market, and there was this guy selling sugar gliders. Obvs, my sister and I went to pet/handle them because they are adorable. One crawled onto my hand, and proceeded to look at me with its huge, watery, emotional little eyes... right before it leapt from my hand onto my face,…

Hey, thought I'd refer you to a series of studies by the National Institutes of Health that do find a correlation between a variety of different sex crimes.

Definitely punch Mark! I have actually said before that I wish I'd punched my bully and damn the consequences. I wouldn't have done him any serious harm, I might have learned to stand up for myself a lot earlier, and the worst that would have happened would have MAYBE been a suspension. And I know plenty of kids…

OMG I feel you on those gay boys.

-Get your ass back into piano lessons, and practice. You actually do not have anything better to do. DON'T YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME.

You're addressing someone who complains that People of Wal-Mart is gross and demeaning, yet posts a picture from People of Wal-Mart, the only picture from that website that's ever been on Jez, as far as I'm aware. Good on you for trying, but there is some kind of fundamental disconnect between making that statement…

Redundant Legislation: It's the hallmark of an efficient government! Romney/Ryan 2012!

Actually, that's a real-life issue that BDSM people have. This blog post explores it, and makes the very relevant point that even where law enforcement is 100% supportive and professional, you still have a jury to contend with.
