When I developed my eating disorder, I actively researched how to start it. I really did. So I totally get her "dabbling in starvation" comment, because, girl, I been there. You should read "How to Disappear Completely" by Kelsey Osgood. It is actually pretty much about your comment — what comes first, the anorexia or

A few things she said in this interview come off as very flippant and frankly a little ridiculous. How does one "dabble in starvation"? It really reminds me of the time I spent researching a pro-ana community (ethnography, anthropology degree) and there would often be young women who would join with the deliberate

I might have done this to my guy this summer. I was actually worried for his health because he reported a buzzing in his ears and that he literally saw stars. He was just completely out of it for a few minutes and had a really hard time explaining what happened.

I loathe the 'it's art' argument particularly because it implies that there cannot be racist art. Just as well, art can ignite racism just as easily as it can convey any other sentiment.

If she loves Japan so much, she would know that this is not how pop singers dress. It's not even how enka singers dress. She's definitely playing off of American stereotypes of Japanese culture here. Now, if she had sung in Japanese — which is what singers from other countries who love Japan usually do — that would

I also question why vibrators are so expensive. VIBRATORS FOR THE PEOPLE.

Why are we empowered when we buy a vibrator, but a man who buys a fleshlight is a 'lonely fuck'?

Another edition of the "Sensitive Sideshow" genre?

So racist that the Quileute tribe paired with the local museum of natural history and culture to "debunk" the portrayal of Native people in the film.

Perverted? Meh.

Nothing like the cognitive dissonance of hearing dad mention "tranny fluid" in a very serious way. RIP my very first car, which leaked transmission fluid like woah.

I could have written that first paragraph. I have NO IDEA what was up with the routine "changing of the shirt on camera" but I am damn disappointed it didn't come to US Kitchen Nightmares. It's not even a sexual thing. It just brings me so much joy.

My son once vomited radioactive green all over his bed. I took him to the ER, but while we waited, he confessed he'd eaten an entire container of lime green Play Doh.

Thanks for sharing.

I think the fact that she started out by ordering native craftspeople to produce what she wanted and selling them at a profit was.... maybe an early indicator that she wasn't going to be the worlds greatest employer. :/

That is a good point. I should not discount those with irregular periods.

I totally lost my commenting privileges for sharing this sentiment but a while ago but Jezebel, stop writing about race. I know, as the smartest white girls at our liberal arts colleges, we're used to assuming everyone wants to hear what we have to say. But there are things you know nothing about—just shut up and

As someone who grew up in South Florida, I agree. I knew tons of white girls who lived in Black or Hispanic neighborhoods who adopted certain fashion trends (cornrows and boxbraids, doorknocker earrings, gold plated necklaces) and slang but I'd say with those girls I never felt like they were "trying." It all seemed

White people who think they're being non-racist by shouting about how gangs and teardrop tats are "Latino culture" is the new white people who think they're being non-racist by shouting about how shaking your ass is "black culture."
