As a white person, I can never understand how important seeing yourself represented in smart shows like “Living Single“ was, but I’ve often thought about how weird it is that there was a period in the mid 90s where there were quite a few shows with all black or mostly black casts, and then 2000 hit and that shit just…

Thank you. We are not human shields for the less stigmatised members of the community.

Dear Muggles: Please stop thinking of us as a human shield to use as a buffer for socially acceptable women against creeps and monsters. Because that is a super fucked up way to think about other people, which is what we are. 

It’s insane how far we’ve fallen. Obama had to distance himself from Reverend Wright due to a few sermons and we’ve got this woman actively and openly grifting and yelling nonsense and everything’s ignored because it can’t even register on the scandals of the weeks.

Ok, so I’ve not really delved all the way in to this, but it’s my understanding that the author has a grandparent from Puerto Rico.

She wasn’t complaining about being rich and famous. She was complaining about the way she was treated in the press, and just like Diana, the Family told her to STFU and deal with it.

Jezebel should hire you to be a guest writer, this is really good.

I was more mad about the dead animals, mostly because I think you’ve got the storytelling purposes twisted.

Please point out where I give a pass to adult men.

Yes, Cabello was a teenager, but it’s hard to believe that she didn’t know better.

This captured my feelings exactly. Calling someone “my n***a” and saying the n-word while quoting rap lyrics is being a dumb teenager who doesn’t know better.

My step dad was born on Christmas day, and his 4 siblings are both a bit older than him and rude boomers. Every year at the family Christmas lunch, no one is allowed to refer to his birthday - he doesn’t get extra gifts or a cake. They also, every year, used to tell the story of how, because their mum had to go to…

How is coyote fur not fur fur? I’m not a vegan, or even a fervently anti-fur person (though I’d never wear it) but your distinction is...meaningless to the animal that died for it. If you want to wear fur, wear it and own it. Don’t make stupid, inane arguments trying to distinguish it by placing value on one life over…

Am I missing it? Did this entire article talk about a teddy coat and not once showed an actual picture of it...wth!

Omg thank you-that bugged the heck out of me too. How are you going to write a whole ass essay about something and not include a photo of it? 

Maybe it’s my browser not interacting well with this site but how does an article like this not contain a single photo of the garment in question? I clicked on it with no idea what a teddy coat looks like and still have no idea. (Yes, I could google it but that’s not the point. The point is that is that if the word…

Couldn’t sleep (as usual) so I got out of bed and hurriedly painted this (on an old recycled paper file folder) and stuck it on the wall. At least this will cover up the wallpaper damage until I can find/make something better. It broke my heart that my husband felt bad about messing up the wall, so something had to be…

Walked into the kitchen this evening, flipped on the light and spotted a perfectly ripe banana duct taped to the wall. I laughed my ass off.

Did you make a resolution to be an asshole this year? You’re well on your way to keeping it.

Why do you have to poop on Zukka’s rainbow?

Sorry, another unsolicited response. I also had one attempt where I abstained from smoking for 6 months and then relapsed. My doctor at the time, who was hugely supportive, mentioned that there was some research about addiction and relapse that indicated the 6 month marker was a somewhat common time span for quitting…
