“I don’t think it should be a struggle not to drink. We should help the victims of drunk drivers instead.”

Thank you for the coverage of this story. I appreciate the nuance, and also how Dr. Walker maintains their goals of this research very clearly.

I’ve known from the start he would walk. He’s a 17 year old white boy, and therefore full of potential, and only heartless people would want to limit this upstanding young man’s potential. Brock Turner only got six months for raping a woman and leaving her to die by a dumpster, why would Lil Kyle be punished for (*chec…

“If he is dead, she better be over it by now” made me laugh so hard.  In any other context, so cold, but here, could not agree more.

I don’t feel like watching Carrie grieve him again after suffering through that whole movie of her with the blinds shut. If he is dead, she better be over it by now.

This is something that happened when I was a student nurse doing my final clinical placement before graduation; for those who don’t know, this consists of being paired with a mentor nurse (called a preceptor) and following her hospital schedule, including the night shift. I was lucky enough to be assigned to the…

“Ghosts in the Walls”

My mom grew up in a small farm in the middle-of-nowhere northwestern Minnesota. Her dad died before I was born, but I regularly visited her mom (my grandmother) still living at the farm, until she passed when I was a teenager. My grandmother was the prototypical Great Depression-forged Midwest farm wife of Norwegian…

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a skeptic-as much as I’d like supernatural things to exist, I find it hard to believe. I’m sure there’s a logical explanation for what I encountered, but that doesn’t stop it from being the weirdest fucking thing I’ve ever experienced.

I’ve crossed past with serial killers 3 times in my life. All are horrific and one was even turned into a made for TV movie. Of the three, this story is the most frightening.

This one is a bit grim, but it’s the very true story of the time I crossed paths with a murderer and his accomplice who were on the run.

When I was 12, I briefly hung out with a group of girls who were more “mature” than I was—which is to say, they liked boys and makeup, and I was more of a play-with-my-American-Girl-dolls type of tween. One summer day we decided to dress up and walk around our town, which was basically an attention-getting exercise.…

Back in 2011 I spent 6 months studying abroad in Cape Town, SA. It was largely a great experience, but at least at that time the amount of violence against women was incredibly high. We were constantly warned by program admins to be on guard when we traveled around, but of course being 20 years old I didn’t take their…

2nd story. My maternal gran had a three storey house, which is let out as apartments. This is in the 1950s, Wales. She stopped when they had an incident where a young woman, about to go into the forces committed a crime. She had given birth to a child, probably stillborn, and his the body in a linen hamper. The body…

Congratulations. This is the straw that broke me. After I publish this comment I will be blocking this site and never returning.

I can’t tell when it exactly happened, but this place has become a total dumpster fire. And inhaling smoke causes cancer.

Newsom isn’t perfect, he’s made some mistakes. But most every person in power has made a mistake or two during the pandemic. Overall he’s done a pretty good job handling the pandemic. This article is ridiculous and really irresponsible. We can’t risk have Elder or any of those other morons being in charge of the 5th…

Let’s be clear here about what’s happening right now on Jezebel.com:

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people?

““What if they let her out of her conservatorship and the paparazzi starts chasing her again, only this time to say nice things about her?” I ask.”

Am I imagining things, or do her abs and side-boob look painted on? Those shadows seem a little too dark for the lighting, and her boob kind of looks wrong for the shape of the dress and the cup, which looks like it’s functional in addition to being a design choice.
