I can’t. I can’t make jokes about this, or find it funny, or think “oh jeez THIS guy” or any of that fucking bullshit. Because at the end of the motherfucking day, I am raising my daughter in a world that is REGRESSING instead of PROGRESSING in terms of women’s rights and that makes me fucking sick to my stomach. It…

I still call Schroedinger’s relationship. Only Katie knows if he’s in the box.

Glad that Kim K’s posted that... I believe her audience is not political, or even republican, which means that she has a basis for educating them. Facts! They still exist.

I’m a school counselor at an all-boys high school. I’m looking for good resources to help teach my students about gender equality, respecting women, preventing sexual assault, understanding consent, etc. - i.e. all the shit that they really need to learn and that I want to teach them well. Any and all recommendations…

I’m reading Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, on the recommendation of Tana French, whose own books I’ve been obsessed with lately.

Late season harvest.

I was out with a cute co-worker I had had my eye on for some time and ended up bringing him home to my place. We piled out of the cab at my place, he puked on my neighbour’s fence, and once I got him inside my condo he disappeared into the bathroom and passed out. He said later that he woke up in the morning on my…

I probably should’ve made a new burner for this, but I doubt he reads Jez, so here goes:

Campaigning, probably. Ugh.

American / German here. Raised in NYC by a German mom. What I most often am frustrated by is having a couple of dozen aphorisms in German that don’t have an English equivalent. “Schadenfreude ist die reinste freude.” is one that comes up most often for instance.

Exactly. If I’m ever the victim of a crime / in some other scary and volatile situation, I will not be the one to escalate it by pulling a gun. And I'm ok with that.

Thank you for this comment, I agree 100% with what you are saying. I grew up in a city near Cologne and have been to the Domplatte many times as a teen on weekends, and there has always been a rampant problem with guys trying to grope or harass you at night, especially when taking the subway. A friend of mine was…

Just a small, but very important correction: The 1000+ men are not all perpetrators. Basically, before the attack happened there was a random gathering of 1000+ drunk men who were shooting fireworks into the crowds and starting fights etc. Only a small fraction of these men started the assaults and robberies against…

I see that Mr. Trump and his lawyer are kindred spirits. A match made in heaven.

Thank you! If I eat gluten regularly I get rashes, my skin itches and starts to bleed and I get crippling stomach aches. I can however eat small amounts occasionally without too much harm, a little itching and gas. I haven’t bothered to spend money on tests to get a diagnosis because....what’s the point? I know I…
