That’s such a good point—you usually only know your person of interest by their published work, not by their reputation, at that stage in the game, and by the time you’re in it’s too late to go back. You’ll have to stick it out or change your field.

lol oh how I wish that were true, but there are many art historians who have FAR MORE respect for and exercise far more care toward art pieces than grad students’ bodies

and with this comment i have expired

Seriously. If it were the rate, I have to believe that Art History would be much higher.

Would you walk up to a starving kid in Africa and tell her you’re hungry?

People who are feeling left out need to learn to deal with their feelings and stop asking the people who have had it much worse than them to manage their feelings for them.

I already emailed Joanna once and she un-banned me but did not un-gray me, as I was previously un-grayed. I thought that was garbage because she returned other banned commenters to their pre-banned statuses. At any rate, I log on today and nothing I post shows up. I don’t have high hopes for it getting sorted out.

I agree that would be ideal, but could that get Kelsky sued? She has a big platform—a lot of people I know follow her social media. I’m glad she used it for The Good, but wouldn’t want her to face legal consequences.

I’m not an expert, but I wonder if there’s much consensus after “Second Wave” white, privileged feminism. Though it had its heyday in history, it’s not as though it’s a historical blip that has gone away, as the linked articles above and many comments sections the Internet over demonstrate. I think we’re in the…

glitterature gets it

Genius idea!

There’s all the use in the world. If a woman in academia is given the option to name names, she’ll usually stay silent. Our jobs are so precarious—even getting one is a tremendous long shot, and tenure is even harder—that many women would prefer to keep silent about their abuse rather than risk the career they’ve…

Yeah I can tell you being a woman in academia is a real sexist mindfuck thrill. I like to log in to Jezebel, be in my echo chamber a little bit, have my voice heard and interact in a silly way with a witty and wonderful commentariat. It’s been a little haven from my toxic, mansplainy world.

the marginalia is extremely amazing. splinter picked out some of the best ones.

are people...not?...attracted to kylo ren?!

Here is a statistics-driven article on the matter.

Thanks! Hoping my old burner gets unBanned, but, until it does, here I am!

Ah, well, that’s different. I can’t do that or I’ll never answer said text.

Yeah, Trump Country drives me up the freaking wall. Trump voters are overwhelmingly white. Full stop. That’s important. But they’re also the sort of white people who are lazy, and who want to make their political arguments on affect and opinions they pull out their asses—they don’t want to make fact-based arguments,…

Do you...think you’re responding to the “Ask Jane” column? Because you’re on the Alice Glass article.
