Imagine a world where tomorrow everyone woke up and had never heard the name “Kardashian” and they were all dirt poor. What would they do? Have any of them any skills or talents? Only one of them went to college, did the rest even graduate high school?

Vinaegar won’t de-grease anything since it’s an acid. Bases dissolve fat, acids don’t. That’s why detergents, soaps, drain cleaners etc. are alkaline. That slippery slimy feeling you get when you get detergent and water on your hands indicate it’s a base. Detergants are both alkaline and have surfacants, that’s why…

I’m sorry, I didn’t know that your take was the only correct one, and that I’m not allowed to voice my own opinions and feelings in replies to other people

Exactly. Apart from both of us being carbon based life forms, I have nothing in common with Mariah Carey. The idea that we’re twinsies because some doctors slapped the same diagnosis on us is ridiculous.

I have bipolar II, I don’t reeeeaaaally see my reflection in Mariah Carey. Maybe someone else, but Mariah Carey?

She drew some people who were discussing her books as superheroes. She IS a treasure! Also her books are amazing

But why do they have it in for anyone at all? If they want to play at being journalists and proper reporters, they should be objective. I know they’re not journalists, they’re bloggers, but sometimes they seem to have higher ambitions than that. Besides, Atwood is brilliant

No. That’s not what I said or the point I was trying to make. I know that no one cares what those people think. My point was that Jezebel will publish highly biased articles to elicit a certain type of comments. Sometimes they want the commentariat to worship someone (Cardi B) but most of the time they bait the…

There’s a whole thread about what a shitty author she is, too. She’s one of my favourite authors and thinkers, I’m really disappointed that as soon as Jezebel says “we hate XYZ now!” everyone is so quick to jump on the bandwagon. If this piece had been written in another tone, and assuming that Atwood was facetious…

Most of the commentators seem to think she’s a kook. There is one comment from someone who read the original article quoted here, who is saying Atwood was clearly joking.

Did you read the article? It’s a dog whistle to pile on Margaret Atwood. The fact that other writers in the huge Gizmedia-group have churned out interesting pieces does not negate that this was a hit piece by a blogger. For example, Maddie Stone at Earther is a brilliant writer and an actual journalist, that does not…

This isn’t journalism, this is blogging. I will die defending that division

I hate that there is no room in the article for that possibility, it just goes straight to “haha, Margaret Atwood is a kook!!”

Was it her idea or the Danish opera company’s?

No. Not end of story. You can’t say things like that without backing it up with proof

Parents who only talk about their kids have nothing else to talk about. Before they had kids, they probably talked about interior design and their latest diet

Sorry no. You’re supposed to think she’s brave for sharing and feel a closer bond to her now. The internet’s official stance is thar the sun shines out of Cardi B’s (injected) butt these days, worship her accordingly

My parents worked with long commutes and were constantly tired and angry. They were never around and I was jealous of kids whose parents picked them up after school and made them sandwiches when they got home. During weekends my parents just cleaned, did laundry and bickered. I had lots if stuff and we went on…

I would change my name the day I turned 18

And “natural” latex means part of the product is made from rubber trees (not all of it because it won’t be as pretty and colorful as if you use synthetic, so it’s a blend of natural and synthetic) and they burn down rainforest en masse to grow rubber trees. Animals are burned alive, endagered species are destroyed,…
