I get it, I really do. Objectifying people based solely on appearance is a shitty thing to do.

Does this outfit come with a side of monistat?

I’m screaming! He tried it. 

Congratulations on leaving what is easily the most deranged comment I’ve ever received in my year of working at Jezebel lol. 

The other day, my husband said to me, “I decided not to try to reason with you about buying Jagged Little Pill on vinyl and bought what was in our Amazon cart.” I gave him a pitying look and said, “It is an amazing album. You’ll see.You’ll see.”

Girl. No. This is a bad take and you should feel bad about it.

Is it possible your husband ruined it for you with his attitude?  My ex made me hate things I loved by ridiculing me/them.  

I have not listened to Jagged Little Pill in a very long time, but don’t ruin it for me. What’s next on your list? Pieces of You by Jewel?

Chelsea needed to appear in court to testify. She cannot be charged again so her resistance is foolhardy. A trans friend of mine posted this in other chat thread.

I could not agree more.  She is NOT a transgender hero... or a whistleblower.  She is an embarassment to the transcommunity that is trying to show that transpeople can serve in the military with honor.  There are many who have... but Manning is NOT one of them.  The exception that proves the rule.  However, we all…

I’m guessing they have, but has anyone done a research study on the long-term mental health effects of mass shootings? On the one hand, I feel like a huge segment of the country is basically desensitized to them by now, so there’s that effect, while survivors and family members are experiencing significant long-term…

I also wonder if the suicides of the Parkland survivors might have triggered something for him. There is some evidence that suicide is “catching” (for lack of a better word), especially among people who share a common experience, like they do with gun violence. It seems relevant that this occurred right after two…

FYI. The recent TAL episode called Beware of Jabberwock has a pretty interesting interview with one of the Sandy Hook fathers re: the online trolls ad Alex Jones.

“No he didnt”

Antoni seems like a good guy. The fact that he’s not a professional chef didn’t bother me. I think the job would be wasted on a pro. But what I’ve started to realize is that one of the most impactful people on the show is Karamo. While the skill he’s supposed to bring, “culture expert”, is poorly defined, what he…

This is the really infuriating thing. There’s a perfectly legitimate reason grand jury’s are sealed (to protect those who have not been charged in case they are not culpable).  Most people on here seem to be on Manning’s side even though she is arguing against providing due process.

“She said she objected to the secret nature of the grand jury process”

If Chelsea Manning had never joined the military she would probably be the resident creepy IT girl at some firm in flyover country, who spends her nights spamming reddit with drivel. Instead, the military decided to recruit an obviously unwell person. And for some reason (cheek bones?) the media decided she would make…

Yer a Wizard, Harris would have been a better pun
