This is the best piece I've seen on Jezebel in a long time. Loli could have been any one of us. There is no thirteen year old who isn't a potential Loli. Reading this and actually knowing someone in real life who is in prison for consuming images of fourteen/fifteen year olds all I can think is that he deserves every…

The problem with truth is that it is often stranger than fiction; this article (or essay, really) reads like a piece of Timberlake fan-fiction gone wrong.

Which means it is probably true—and that the wider world will mistake it for being something it is not.

As one wannabe author to another, I wish the author of this…

JGL is so handsome and charming that it is actually making me angry. I have an anger crush on him.

MEGA DIS.

It's gonna be so awkward two years from now when they're both contestants on "Dancing with the Stars."

The comments here are a teensy bit on the scary, ruthless, and bloodthirsty side. The guy committed horrid, unimaginable crimes. I get it. But I still don't think either "what a coward" or "dammit I really wanted him to suffer longer" are appropriate responses.

The Great Ass Paradox: ass hasn't gone anywhere, and yet it goes everywhere.

Sorry, fuck that. I'm a dude and I use "I feel like" all the time because the whole masculine approach to language with is unrelenting focus on objectivity and "things either are or are not" is stupid and practically designed to get people to fight each other. Since feelings aren't allowed to be part of the equation,…

What this totally skips over is that "I feel" and "I think" is actually a technique taught to you by different therapies (CBT, DBT, non-violent communication, etc) that help people have healthy relationships. The purpose of I statements is to be able to communicate your needs without getting derailed into a discussion…

I'm giving this some side-eye. This is the Instagram equivalent of making sure you hold your book at an odd angle on public transportation or in a coffee shop so everyone can see you're reading Camus. Coz you're deep like that.

I say that with full knowledge that if I went to photograph my primary book shelf it would…

Well, I haven't had to deal with a period in over 3.5 years. There is a miracle pill called BIRTH CONTROL; there is a kind that allows you to live without the magical flow of red unicorn mucus out of your va-ja-ja. Yes, I don't have insurance... so I have to pay like 70 dollars a month for it, but it sure as hell…

"Ohhhh I'm so sorry, the camera slipped out of my hands, I didn't mean to pan down slowly..."

Even if there's not a danger element present, it's well-established that many (possibly most) men take a woman's "no" as the opening of a negotiation. I know that after a while, I'd much rather flake than go through a 20-minute interrogation of why my "no" isn't reasonable, how I need to give him a chance, why my…

I'm slightly freaked out by the corn going all the way to its shoulder but you do you, hamster. Baby corn is the bee's knees.

Short & sweet. If said dude making the advance wont take a simple NO. You have every right to twist the knife.
“When a man says no in this culture, it’s the end of the discussion. When a woman says no, it’s the beginning of a negotiation.” – Gavin De Becker

Not gonna lie; this is pretty fucking awesome.

This kind of sounds like public school in Quebec... Largely catholic for decades, the public school system is now "déconfessionnalisé", which means no prayers, no crucifix in classrooms, no catholic classes of any kind. And there is a new course to replace it, called "Éthique et culture religieuse", which basically…

Could I move that said atheist school should have a whole class devoted to objectively looking at religions? All religions. Especially ones that aren't really practiced anymore. Nothing makes someone more atheist than actually reading religious texts outside of conditioning environments.
