It does and it doesn’t. You’re right: the day is far bigger than any trivial emoji, and honestly, the whole hubbub about using rainbow screens or the like to express solidarity has pretty much passed in general.

But. BUT. If we’re supposed to be sensitive to language—in the state I live in, I can lose my job and be…

I now have a disclaimer that we will be discussing challenging topics in class and if they feel they cannot engage in a spirited (but respectful) exchange of ideas in a mature fashion, they are welcome to find another section. ‘Trigger warnings’ vastly disrespect how PTSD and triggers *actually work* (I have PTSD),…

This is a problem a LOT of studios and franchises and wanna be franchises are having—even a quick peek at the DC universe will show the same issues: studios betting the bank on a big budget tentpole spectacular that there’s almost no way it can pay back.

I read an article recently that said that 2018 was set to have…

This is what identity politics hath wrought. It’s nice to see that there are SOME lines that it’s still okay not to cross in Jezebelland

HAHAHAHA i’ll believe clothes need to cost more because they try to shape to female bodies...the minute I can actually buy a pair of jeans off the rack that simultaneously fits all three: my thighs, my butt and hips and my waist.

I was in a Toy R Us once, (I’m naming them because they did nothing wrong here), and there was a couple at the return desk throwing a fit SO LOUD it could be heard across the store. The tantrum? Someone had bought their daughter the *original* color Mr Inchworm (green with a yellow hat) and not the pink and purple one…

Shooting the dog might have something to do with not wanting their bodies to be *eaten* by said dog if it took a while for them to be discovered. I used to work in a coroner’s office. It happens.

The one thing I remember from living in Libya is that the left hand is the bad hand, considered ‘unclean’. So....yeah. I’m just going to hope the picture is needlessly mirror imaged.

This is all just a bucket of hype. OH TEH NOES I had to get a bad haircut!!! We had a cop ask us questions!!

I feel for the guy, but yeah, no. No one has to ‘medically forgive’ someone for being an asshole. I’m glad he’s made good, but that’s a shitty attitude to have. No one is exempt from the consequences of their actions.

‘Like a normal adult’ he says, describing playing video games aimed at teens or younger. Okay, then.

OMG I can’t even begin to tell you what a terrible idea this is. No, wait. I can. Just look at what a disaster our high schools have become—dead eyed spaces where students don’t learn a damn thing, and just sit through their time till they can go to Prom.

No, honestly, it wouldn’t. See, they did this thing with Transformers when they introduced their first female character, Windblade. We fans had it shoved down our throats that it was a FEMALE character who was *pant pant* WRITTEN by an ACTUAL FEMALE and, and and and even DRAWN by a FEMALE and and and and girl power.

HOLY COW, could you please maybe proofread before posting stuff? Do you get paid for your columns? Yeah? Then maybe run your eyes over stuff before you post. You didn’t even spell ‘Jesse’ correctly.

Baby monitors did not even exist when I was a kid. Amazingly, we all survived. Our moms and dads got off their asses to look in on us, and assumed that we were capable of the basic, involuntary actions of keeping ourselves alive at those other times (mom was ecstatic when we had naptime because it was time for her to…

I’m not particularly familiar with the comics—they were big when I was, you know, broke. You know how that is!

I agree; they are unconscionable remarks for an educator.

As could yours. It’s called McLean’s Law: any attempt at grammar flaming will always include a grammar error. Nice job.

I honestly couldn’t pick Blake LIvely out of a lineup of dead-behind-the-eyes starlets, myself, but I really hate this idea that journalism, and especially feminist or female-centric journalism like Jezebel and Mary Sue, has just gotten so Mean Girls and not fun. How’s about women not tearing other women down? How’s…

Leaving aside the tone of the piece (is it supposed to be funny? Is it supposed to be angry? Angryfunny? It’s impossible to tell and thus needs an edit for tone), dude, do you seriously think that anything is different anywhere else? You think other places to live are bursting with cheap housing, with citified…
