Oh wow, a Virginian who cares? Crrrrrazy. You either lied or misread the post yourself, so go away.

Wait a second. I just reread the original post. These were actually made for distribution in northern Virginia, not some backwater town in the middle of nowhere, VA. That’s even more indefensible and makes your comment even more indefensible. It’s not like the people in NoVa have never seen an affluent, handsome black…

And those people weren’t going to vote for Northam anyway. So it’s total bullshit.

It really, really pisses me off that Northam hasn’t been actively campaigning with Fairfax and that the Dems haven’t been trumpeting him loudly. Especially considering the facts that a) everyone in NoVa will vote for Northam, so there’s nothing to lose there, b) it’s not going to magically make racists vote for…

Um, this article says it all:

BLUF. So important. My boss loses interest and reading comprehension like three sentences in. (I am pretty sure he’s got ADHD, but he’s of another mental health time at age 66, so he wouldn’t have been diagnosed, and it’s actually super helpful for him to be always bouncing around in our line of work.) I went to law…

100% to chatting! My boss travels about 3-4 days of the week, and so if we didn’t have daily phone calls for even a couple of minutes to catch up, I’d be convinced I was about to get fired or something.

He’s 66, so I do think it is generational, and I think he 100% sees it as shorthand. After I’d been here a year or two, I finally got up the nerve to ask him about it, and he told me to never read anything, not even sarcasm, into his emails. Now sometimes he DOES temper brusque emails with emoji—his 20-something…

Okay, I laughed.

I cannot emphasize enough about not reading too far into text-based communication. My own boss is a great, enthusiastic guy in person, but over email, he sounds like a jerk. Like, when I first started, I thought he hated me, but he just does not know how to warmly communicate in email—it’s very abrupt and brief. (To…

I think people without kids but with chronic illnesses would disagree with you about “normal” and not “newborn” tired having an end. Their/our “normal” tired has zero end. And there are a ton of parents who don’t make allowances for that in conversations. It’s super obnoxious.

Maybe “we” could have, except that I don’t work for Jezebel and so I can’t exactly tell them when to publish their pieces.

So, how is he supposed to weigh the evidence with so many crucial pieces missing, including first-hand comments from Gossett herself (that aren’t her Instagram post)? We honestly don’t have a huge sense of what is true in all of this, and it’s really muddled. I appreciated being allowed to weigh it myself. Further, I…

Thank you for this great piece of reporting and for reaching out past France and Gossett. I would request that if you hear back from Gossett, Wortzel, and/or Mock, that you make that super clear in the header and up-front, as I would love to read this again with their added comments and perspective should they decide…

That’s because bandwagoners and jackasses sadly aren’t exclusive to New York.

Show me on the doll where the Hill lobbyist hurt you.

Thank you so much for covering this. I advocated for S.178 with a national org and elder abuse is something that rarely gets talked about on younger-skewing websites. PROTECT YOUR FUTURE SELVES AND YOUR LOVED ONES, please, and get your documents together NOW. You never know when an accident could leave you…

As I said below, I have been Bride, and he started abusing me too, and the no matter what happens part is so crucial because if my friends and family hadn’t remained quietly supportive of me while keeping their lips zipped about him, I never would have trusted them for support while I was being brainwashed by him.…

Ugh, I’m so sorry. I was Bride in this story. We never got married, thank god, because he (as MOST OF THEM DO) started getting abusive with me too, first emotionally, then physically, and I had just enough support and survival instincts left to get the fuck out before things turned tragic. The no matter what happens pa…

I don’t think there’s anything the LW can do, no matter how great their arguments are for DTMFA. She’s going to immediately run home to Fiance and he’s going to tell her to steer clear of all of these nasty people who just have it out for him/them because they’re so jealous or want to steal her away or whatever. (Not…
