I loved how in the first episode Jamie actually said “So this is how you pronounce it and how I’ll try to pronounce it throughout this series. But if you smugly correct someone for saying it the other way, you’re a shitty person.” XD

This hardly ever seems to get discussed as part of #MeToo but the powerful men who make sex appeal a job criteria for subordinate women so those women have to put up with all kinds of bullshit are also excluding and denying opportunity to women who don’t meet their standard of appearance. This demographic of women -…

Or the teenage daughter of one of his rich upper class friends. Because THAT’s different. 

FWIW, and you will prob be unsurprised by this, Mortal Dictata is a dude.... 

Yet if someone he cares about needs one I’m sure they’d find a way, because that’s different to some trashy little slut being irresponsible. 

I swear when I went to America on holiday a few years ago, the concept of tipping was the thing that stressed me out the most as I was getting ready.

I think it’s good for kids and teenagers, as they usually need the regular fuel plus it’s part of maintaining stability and routine. But for sure not all adults do. When I’m living alone and don’t have someone else’s routine to work with, I’ve noticed I tend to eat one main meal of the day either at breakfast or…

Yeah, MD considers himself the appointed sole expert on all things UK here...

Were the Trumps the first first family in ages to not have pets? Thinking back amongst everything else that went on for those years I’ve suddenly noticed I don’t think I ever read anything about them having animals. 

I highly HIGHLY recommend the recent short series The Lolita Podcast by Jamie Loftus. It’s only a few episodes long and is a great analysis of the history of Nabokov’s book and its cultural impact, and the character of Dolores herself, and the way she’s been often misappropriated and misinterpreted. 

Yuuuup. 

Oh yeah for sure! And I know I’m derailing this story a bit. But they do cover non US stuff occasionally, and I think “young female staffer raped in Australian equivalent of the Capitol building, major cover up ensues after she gets pressured into silence” and response from party and party leaders further emphasises…

I posted a comment about Brittany Higgins. I hope they do a story about her, they definitely would if it was an American story. 

Hillsong started in Australia. You’re welcome, rest of the world. :( 

To be more accurate Morrison is no longer a member of Hillsong, but he’s currently a member of a Pentecostal church called Horizon that is very Hillsong adjacent and preaches prosperity gospel, which is just what you want in a prime minister, huh. The fact his faith believes that good things go to good people, sinners…

Not sure how closely Jezebel or its US readers follows stuff outside the US, but here’s something that would be relevant to your readers’ interests.

All the more for me, om nom nom nom nom.

I only just recently watched the series Crazy Ex Girlfriend because I’m always totally behind the trend when it comes to TV shows I’d probably like. All the way through I was hoping it wouldn’t end with Rebecca pairing up and I was so glad and so impressed that it didn’t. 

I don’t doubt for a second that if the mob had been able to lay hands on people there would have been a sexual element to the violence against the women targets.

I liked Fred but it was very obvious she was basically Whedon’s dream woman.
