The Jezebel coverage of women with obvious mental health issues has been jarring. "Tan mom", "Octomom", Amanda Bynes, etc. Let's stop kicking these women while they're down.

She spoke about it in length on Dr. Drew's podcast. She's been through a horrifying ordeal. I wish Jezebel would post about that, instead of this kind of article.

Reports from NASA that I've read proposed that this is a one-way trip. You go to Mars, spend the rest of your life feeding back data and looking for places to terraform. Not ever coming back to Earth.

You are not alone. I was at least 2 sizes larger than my typical there. I doubt I'd even fit into anything now.

I always appreciate your comments on issues w/ doctors. I believe I remember you commenting a while ago that, especially if you are in a hospital or clinic that deals with a lot of low income patients, doctors are often dealing with people who don't actually know what it takes to lose weight and be healthy. I feel…

I wish that my doctor had brought up my weight gain, or took me seriously when I finally mentioned it. I had every symptom of severe hypothyroidism but because I didn't gain as much weight as some people do, or I wasn't big enough to begin with my symptoms were not dealt with for 10 years. Instead I lost my athletic…

When I went vegan it made my PCOS about 10x worse, my then-doctor attributed it to excess soy and just my particular body chemistry. I got it somewhat under control with medication and a low sugar, plant rich diet that includes dairy, eggs and every now and then, meat. I think corn is fine, people were eating it…

Wow... I was only there for 2 years in a junior high school in Rifu-cho, with seriously well-behaved students overall (there were of course a few exceptions...). Some of my friends had horror stories, I only ever really had a problem with one of the teachers, and after getting drunk and acting like a dick to me, he…

Fuck those people, all the way to Mars. They almost killed you and your child through neglect, because they thought you were too fat. ::::head rage asplode:::

Almost all films have a police presence to help with crowd and traffic control, that sort of thing. This is especially true when filming in public buildings, parks, etc.

holy shit. I can't believe that experience, I am SO SORRY YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT.

Here is your Lesbian Roleplay Cookie.

I think the only thing that seems to get Jezebel commenters into a bigger fight than Amanda Knox is male circumcision.

I wonder about this. If, as a guest, I go to bed clean and don't have sex or a period in the bed, it's still quite clean when I leave, so I feel as though making the bed creates less work for the host, assuming they aren't too fastidious. But maybe they're terrified of finding a pube in there, so I suppose I should…

0_O Dear me! Where I come from one does not strip the sheets for a variety of reasons like the guest mattress may not be the newest mattress and it would embarrass the hostess to have her guest see it or duh, the cleaner will do that. I never strip the bedding unless told to.

Here's what I don't get. A drifter with his DNA all over the crime scene, including semen on the victm's body, claims that he had consenual sex with her and then didnt hear her murder because he was taking a shit in their bathroom after, while listening to his iPod. Then he went on the run and was picked up for…

I agree. It all feels very exploitative to me, which I guess is the whole point of outlets like TMZ and InTouch.

Thank you! I don't understand that either. I don't think anyone who thinks she is guilty has any idea what actually happened in the trial. They literally found that guys DNA everywhere in the room, including on and INSIDE of the murder victim, plus his bloody hand print was on her pillow. The craziest part is when…

The situation with Patrick Lumumba confuses me. It sounded like the police brought him up first due to the text message and kept insisting she tell them how he was involved. But then she says she named him. Did she name him or did the police?

I understand that the Kercher family is rightfully angry about the whole situation and that their daughter has been forgotten in the press- but isn't the issue pretty settled on Rudy Guede's guilt? Does anybody know why they are still holding so much anger towards Amanda?
