A friend of mine, years ago, was visiting the National Zoo with her family. When it came time to nurse her infant son, she sought refuge from the summer heat in the Ape House, which, though malodorous, was air conditioned.

Little kids know what boobs are for. When my daughter was like four, we were in the mall and some lady was nursing her baby on a bench and my kid marches up to her and says “Oh, is your baby drinking your milk? Awww, that’s so nice! Hi, baby! I hope you like your milk!” and I was mortified but the mom said that was…

Were I a mother with young children, I might be hesitant to bring children to a beach in which loads of women were topless.

Here in DC, taxi cabs are just awful.

Well they were giving specific rules for sex with another employee. Maybe it would be too paternalistic to say “do not have sex unless:”.

Why would any company send out a memo to its staff setting rules for their sex life outside of work?

As a young person, I worked at a series of summer camps to earn money for the next year of college. Most of the camps have pretty strict “no kissing, no fondling” policies, but one (Jewish camp, natch) had a very sensible “Hugging and Kissing with All Clothes On” policy known has HACWAKO. It made sense, it was in…

“Anyway, I’m glad he didn’t rape your friend” Yea, 2017 for you folks.  

Me: Toybox killer? Sounds gruesome and bad. Best leave it alone.

When I first moved to LA in 2001, one of the very first stories I ever heard from someone else in the entertainment business was from a producer who told me his girlfriend worked around Bill Cosby and had been invited to Cosby’s house for dinner. “Bring a friend” Cosby had said. So she brought her boyfriend (this…

Maybe because Diana Moskovitz normally posts for Deadspin, not Jezebel? I’ve read a couple of her pieces there, and she definitely a different ton than the stable of Jez writers. She’s doing a great job though and I’m glad she’s posting her work here.

Diane explained on a previous Cosby posting about outside courtroom upload time and content development time being limited by the nature of the proceedings. It’s down to that, I think... Most Jez pieces will have more polish and/or snark attention, but this series is (RIGHTLY) focused on getting the news out.

Bethenny gets all the passes with Ramona from that walk over the bridge forward. All the passes. Bethenny may have a hairline fracture here and there - she’s brave about that - but she’s not vicious and cruel. She’s well within normal tolerances and her values are overall decent.

Every time I read one of these articles and the subsequent comments I feel like I’m in bizzaro world. I have never been indiscriminately prescribed narcotic pain relievers. Maybe it’s a regional thing, or it could be because I live in a city with a very well known research hospital and the quality of health care is…

I just got done watching 13 Reasons Why. Every single parent of a child who bullied the female protagonist all said the same thing: my kid is a good kid who would never do such a thing.

If you want your kids to not turn into racist homophobic shit heads, keep them off online games. Multi-user online gaming has much to answer for in normalizing homophobic and racist behavior. Not to mention just the general abrading of empathy and blurring the line between real life and fantasy.

I’ve shared before, but I was out at a bar in NE DC with friends and as soon as Trump won Ohio a group of college students started doing Nazi salutes and cheering. Fun fact? These were Gallaudet students, so they are all hearing impaired. Pretty sure neither Trump nor Hitler respected the deaf. Obviously wenleft the…

Middle school teacher here: I have had five major racist incidents (That we know of) this year, which is five more than my previous nine years of teaching combined.

I’m seriously so impressed by her. This must be a really hard thing to deal with, and she decided to use her status and clout to hopefully make things easier for other women who do not have her advantages. That is a class act right there.

GOOD. I hope this sets a strong precedent.
