Poll: Do you like the videos on Jezebel? Do you like this “pivot” to more videos and fewer written blog posts, or would you rather have fewer/no videos and more written content?

So, my sweet, sweet papa was diagnosed with a (non-Alzheimer’s) form of dementia a couple of years ago.

He’s been declining steadily since then, losing first more obvious skills like driving, through mid-level skills like understanding time and dates and applying that knowledge to the present situation, to forgetting…

That’s what bothers me- it’s so extreme in the other direction. She’s a 16 year old whose market is young, barely elementary aged children. I don’t know, I find that bizarre.

Why is no one on Jezebel talking about the god awful Law & Order SVU episode (episode 19, season 20)? Prettty typical episode until a rape victim wants an abortion. The show goes out of it’s way to show her as some kind of monster just for not wanting a rape baby. Then OLIVIA BENSON, of all people, takes offense to…

I’m working on building up a portfolio for a wedding cake business and just booked a client in September. She liked my sketches and design samples so much she is just giving me a color palette and flavor profile and leaving the rest up to me. It’s a small order but she isn’t doing a tasting (SUCH a pain in the ass and…

I’ve stayed on my diet since March 2, not one slip up (I don’t think I’ve ever lasted this long on a diet.) I’ve also become a regular at the gym. I wish there were more late afternoon classes but I’m usually the only one there at 2 pm so it makes sense.

Travelled to a national conference in my field for 4 days and gave two talks that seemed to go well. (The bad thing is, I procrastinated on preparing both of them so got about 3 hours of sleep before each.) My hotel was right across the street from a really tall chair swing ride and I rode that thing at night and it…

Wow! All so good! For me, well, I’m on medical leave from work, so my accomplishments are finishing another week of cardiac rehab, going to see Hotel Mumbai at eleven in the morning, and getting better at guessing prices on The Price is Right. 

I wouldn't tell him, I would just go on the other date. Realtor is being rude and doesn't get to date you tonight. Enjoy your other date. Maybe you'll even get on better than you do with Realtor. 

About 9 years ago my boyfriend broke up with me because his family didn’t approve of his black girlfriend. We’d been together for 5 years. He married an appropriate woman and started a family.

Gorgeous dog, utilitybinch! I feel you on the relationship breakup, me too, after 10 years, 2 kids, and a mortgage. I don’t know if you are experiencing the same, but despite knowing how awful our relationship is and how things have happened that make it unrepairable, I find that the loneliness and adjustment to being…

o wow i never catch SNS when it comes out!!

My wife and I just hit week 4 with our newborn, and have found that bath times most naturally come after one of us says:

I think you’re right that there’s a troubling lack of interrogation of the prevailing culture here, but I’m worried you seem to be falling back on moms to fix it. If my husband doesn’t do his share of the work, is that my fault for not holding him accountable? I agree that winemakers, husbands, and just about everyone…

It’s on the god damn label! How hard is it to read a label?!

“Annnnd they’re off. Into the first turn is Mama’s Boy followed by Really, Him? and If Flour Was A Person. Now If Flour Was A Person is making their move, If Flour Was A Person is coming to the inside followed by No One Wants to Sleep with You and Another Privileged White Boy. It’s still If Flour was a Person, If…

He looks like if Ryan Seacrest had sex with Paddington Bear.

I’m fucking mad that this guy was nonetheless admitted to the bar given the usual good moral character requirements. 

I do not exercise much cause I have CFS/ME and it’s got like a random chance of making my body just straight up Not Work the next day, but when I’m feeling confident, I add movement into daily life by (a) enthusiastically going for the stairs, like, both choosing stairs over alternatives and really bounding up them…

Kettlebell, resistance bands and maybe a yoga mat. A jump rope for cardio. I find a nice hike super stress relieving and a good workout to boot.
