What the fuck kind of clueless and irrelevant comment is this? Get the fuck outta here.

No one’s as irrationally confident in their looks as fat white dudes. Like, they’re always the loudest critics of other people’s looks, particularly women’s.

It’s ingrained in us from our history. White people used to have picnics at hangings and at lynchings, bringing their children to watch black bodies suffer and die. We are not far removed from that, it’s just being played out through technology now. And it hurts.”

We need to start valuing quality over quantity when it comes to publishing. It’s sad the state of academia today.

The community’s failure to replicate studies is a big part of this problem, too.

This is my favorite sketch comedy show! So glad it’s back. Because I take sketch comedy very seriously.

I agree. Tbh I’d be much more interested in a show about a woman who’s, you know, real. Not necessarily someone awful that hates everything about herself.

This show is really good, and I don’/t think she’s unlikeable. I loved how the arc of the story helped you understand her better.

Or be a symptom thereof? Not sure since I’m more of a perseveration-over-every-last-potentially-self-defeating-detail-kind-of-girl.

She needs to know!

Been reading this over the Summer, about half way through, it’s an amazing read and the depth of the story just barely seems to have been scratched so far.

And, as rebeccacunningham noted by posting that ridiculous SNL song about not being able to write a song for all women…

#NotAllMetaphors

The video is well-intentioned, but the metaphor of jumping hurdles, not to mention the doubling down on athletic prowess, seems especially ableist in this context.

Jezebel: Making perfect the enemy of good since 2008.

Yeah, I don’t get Rachel’s outrage. Someone put out a positive message, yet she basically wrote an article condemning that message.

I’m torn on this one because of course you’re right. It is ableist and it can be hurtful. On the other hand...it’s just a metaphor. No one is saying if you can’t literally jump hurdles like a 1960s Olympian you can’t overcome obstacles. The audience that this video is aimed towards--the audience who likes Sia and…

“The video is well-intentioned, but the metaphor of jumping hurdles, not to mention the doubling down on athletic prowess, seems especially ableist in this context.”

Then what was her point because she brought it up not once, not twice, but three times as if it were the salient point to take from this tragedy?

Betty Shelby is nothing but a low-life thug. Look at her record! She smokes marijuana and has been cited for domestic violence. Was only a matter of time when something like this would happen. Get her off the streets!
