I’ve been trying not to get attached to any Jez writers because FUCK it really hurt when Mark left and even though I disagreed with a lot of her takes it REALLY hurt when Jia flew the coop but dammit Ashley I’m pretty attached to you and I know you’ve gotta leave someday but not soon please. This was really good. 

I saw the reaction to Sonmez’s tweet yesterday and was holding my breath for the WaPo’s reaction. Yup. They made the wrong call, just like I thought they would. You don’t punish a reporter for conveying accurate information. She didn’t tweet it directly to his family. She didn’t add commentary calling him anything…

Thank you. For a reporter to be punished by a purported news organization for accurately pointing out that he was very credibly accused of rape, is fucking insane.

The guys in my fantasy football sms thread “too soon’d” me for pointing out the rape allegation amid their hero worship. My reply was basically, “Too soon? That happened in 2003!”

Thank you so much, Joan! It is much appreciated.

Here is BTS. As famous as they are, you’d think their stylists would put them in something other than these boring trench coats and suits!

Yeah, seconded.

Hi! Can you please consider writing about the people in the order they appear in the picture? I end up skipping these articles and going to other sites because it takes too long Google who everyone is. Thank you! 🙏

I paid off my mortgage yesterday! It took me 18 years, but it was 7 years early on a 25 year mortgage.

You are well shut of that one!

Shelter Catstravaganza!

I agree.

In a strange way, it reminds me of that classic situation when couple says they’re poly, but expect their other partners to be like some slutty mary poppins who simultaneously has nothing in their life but the couple but also no attachments to them.

I read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books as a kid and had zero context for them, but even I could see the Hardy Boys were not the brightest candles on the Christmas tree. They’re not going to figure this out on their own.

I assumed CEO family meant both parents (and all kids???) were CEOs, but I like this theory. The number of references to the Mom needing to relax supports this. No reference to the Dad is interesting.

“this dark noir-infused story unfurls as the biggest Nancy Drew mystery of all time. Nancy’s mysterious death”

The job posting also asks that the [applicant] also be able to have “room in their heart to love the kids and the mom; has a high capacity to be loved deeply by them.” The very next bullet point asks that the applicant also have “appropriate boundaries.”

She probably just ghosted them so she could get away from Chet’s advances.

Reading the list of needs with what you wrote in my mind makes me think this is indeed a giant troll by a SAHM to (of?) her Very Important Man husband.

My favorite theory is that a SAHM wrote this re: her CEO husband and she wanted to show him that everyone thinks the amount of work she does is FUCKING INSANE.
