Ford’s comment about laughter being the most hurtful detail she remembered really resonated with me, and I teared up when she said it.

Is this for real?

I recently took a tally and realized that the ONLY time I take away from my family is for work as I’m an event planner with sometimes non-traditional hours, and even then I feel bad and shamed. When I do try to take some time for myself I have to have a ‘valid’ reason, then plan and announce it way ahead of time. I…

“But the kind of insecurity that drives you to overachieve is like constant self-punishment, and if you keep moving your own goalposts, you’ll drive yourself insane.”

and everyone likes her

One of SVU’s better episodes was about, of course, a young woman being assaulted at a party, in almost the exact circumstances described by Dr. Ford. One of her would-be sorority sisters (she’s been rushing one) was really brutal to her, basically trying to prove she had deserved it through sheer vocal battering.

Okay, so I guess I’m not “a man” because I wasn’t somehow sexually inappropriate with people as an an adolescent (or, life generally?).

It never ceases to amaze me that they think that not getting on the Supreme Court is going to “ruin a life.” By that silly metric, they were perfectly happy ruining Merrick Garland’s life for the crime of getting nominated by a Black president.

Over and over, my attention keeps going to the conservative women defending this piece of shit and casting doubt on the accusations. What’s most amazing to me is - Dr. Ford IS those women, even though she votes Democrat now and seems like a nice moderately-progressive white lady. She grew up in a conservative,…

So I recently moved to Charlotte. After spending last weekend cooped up inside hate reading Twitter (thankfully was not very affected by Florence), I did something I've never done and went on VoteSaveAmerica to volunteer to canvass for Dan McCready for Congress today. It was exhausting walking around in the 90 degree…

I’m not sure he meets this definition of celebrity, but...Charles Schulz.

Something about Peanuts just agitates the shit out of me. I hate Charlie and I hate Lucy and I hate Pigpen and I hate that fucking dog and that fucking canary and FUCK the great pumpkin and FUCK Christmas Time Is Here straight to hell. I don’t…

Why buy one now when they’ll be government issue in just a short while? Just a waste of money!

Love is a verb before it's a noun sometimes. You're doing everything right. 

I was of the JNCO generation. I used to wear these absolutely massive JNCO jeans with burgundy swirly panels down the sides. Add to that black platform sandals and a white tank top and a uh....black blazer for some reason with a lace skinny scarf that I would tie into a bow at the back of my neck.

I feel like all these dudes are running around yelling “My penis! My penis! But what about my penis???”

Wow, this ad and accompanying comment section totally aren't concerning re: the current spike in alcoholism among women!

She’s one of the most unfairly criticized, and mistreated athletes in her profession. What you call “worship” others call balancing the scale to the poor treatment she often receives

Also while dealing with being publicly groped by a PASTOR at Aretha Franklin’s funeral! This young woman’s life is basically female experience on blast.

Oh, tweets and insta hasn’t worked for me on jez for about 6 mo now.
