Your comment surfaced a terrible memory for me ...

Yeah my husband’s abuse escalated when I told him I was pregnant, and I moved out around a month after I’d told him, it was getting so extreme that I felt safer leaving (not as straightforward as it might sound.) At 12 weeks I found out the baby had died at about 8 weeks, the time of the most serious incident. And…

I heard a clip on the radio as I was driving (to somewhere), and my very first thought was , “He killed her.” And this was not seeing the interview or knowing much about the case other than they were missing. Even in the interview, he sounded oddly cool and calm. He definitely had that psychopath air to his speech.

It’s a little rich to point fingers at media coverage of intimate partner violence when Jezebel is complicit in that coverage. From a quick look at the tag for ‘intimate partner violence’ and the first two pages of the tag for ‘domestic violence’ (which dated to the beginning of last year) on the site, I counted…

His on-camera pleas were cold and stilted, the kind of performance that screamed amateur hour in a world where true crime has convinced all of us that we’re professional body language experts.

One of her cousins called out people on Twitter for politicizing Mollie’s death and said something along the lines of how her family is not so ignorant that they would lump an entire group of people in with Mollie’s killer. Like, they are in mourning and at least one family member is begging people not to use this as…

Yep, it’s just like the trans-bathroom narrative thing— “women and girls are being sexually assaulted!” is the reason they’re giving, but they don’t give one single flying fuck about rape/sexual assault either. Unless it can be used for their purposes.

The right doesn’t give a single flying fuck about the actual woman who got killed. They only care about her inasmuch as they can use her as a pawn.

“And so does the pointless shock. In a world where violence against women is common, this shock feels tepid.” This reminded me of what I’ve been reading about the Mollie Tibbetts case. The slant the right is trying to take is in order to further their agenda. The only part that matters to me is the actual truth. That…

I feel like this particular murder struck me harder than most because as much as I always say to myself “they don’t always look like the type” (my father didn’t look like the type either), this guy DIDN’T LOOK LIKE THE TYPE. He looks like a dude I’d swipe a hard right on. And he didn’t use a gun, he was capable of…

Even if it weren’t premeditated—

I think it’s a possible that it might not end well but insinuating he’ll commit suicide?... C’mon....there’s been some commenters going on and on about his borderline personality disorder and saying some really shitty things and it’s starting to piss me off. He’s been vocal about his BPD and for all we know he’s doing…

How did they do that? Did the ghost of William R fire up the old printing presses?

It’s not like “excitable white nerd” is something you can find just anywhere, though.

Thomas Ravenel and Ashley Jacobs may or may not be done.

I worked as a nurse in a locked psych facility. One of my NAC’s lost a baby this way. She was not prosecuted because I don’t live in a shit state, apparently. She was just gutted over it, because she had no education in her life that had ever led her to be able to understand how the biology of all this works. She…

And the level of vitriol on that sub is wild! If you’re participating in what boils down to a grand experiment in which you’re saving a ton of money, you should expect that yeah, the trade-offs to that might include sub-par customer service, frequent changes to your initial deal, etc. For $10/month, they don’t owe you…

I’d pay for a pass that somehow negated the 30-45 minutes of obnoxious advertising that plays before the movie begins.

On the bright side, a selfish side, the fact that I mostly see wildly unpopular movies in theater will finally pay off! This is like…a tax on superhero movies!

Why? Clearly a very specific part of their brains match up and, in my experience, that is critical for long-term compatibility. I say congratulations to them both!
