She is a treasure. I'm obsessed with her Dear Prudence column.

I should have visited The Toast more often. I was always pleased when someone shared a post on Facebook.

“Lurkment patch”. Genius writing, like Finnegans wake only good!!

The western art history posts SLAYED me, every single time. Miss that shit.

Holy shit, this article. Just read the whole comment thread, took like 3 hours. Thanks so much for posting it, wow

You are just too witches for me.

Favorite:

My favourite is the raccoon one, which leads to me describing myself as an all-hands no-feet trashcat: http://the-toast.net/2016/05/05/eve…

I regularly tell my children that they oughtn’t to grapplesnatch.

I absolutely adore her as Prudie. Way less slut-shaming and victim-blaming in general then Emily Yoffe but she really gives it to people when they are being awful.

That possum article is beautiful. I just forwarded it to everyone. I have a friend we refer to as trash panda, and I may humbly suggest that he reconsider and go with night rat boy or shit possum.

“I’m not proud to admit this, but before I had daughters, I sometimes used to harvest women for their organs to build Liver Pyramids in my backyard. I just didn’t see a problem with it. I sure do now, though. What if someone killed my daughters just to make a pyramid, or even a ziggurat, out of women’s internal organs…

Hahahahahaha “or even a ziggurat,” that line is inspired. Bummer The Toast closed.

Mallory Ortberg is a Goddess. Her art history kills me dead.

I prefer her owl article.

Pour one out for The Toast. And Gawker. And Prince. WTH is this year.

Came here to post that! I miss the Toast :(.

so to recap:

Um, maybe because fathers are still publishing these masturbatory, self-congratulatory essays in earnest?
