I remember being just an elementary-aged girl from the south, hearing Ms. Cherry’s “Raw Like Sushi” album. She changed the “game” for me. She, to me, was the epitome of a strong, smart woman...which was the antithesis of debutant balls and the pearl-wearing moms who (very much so) displayed their “husband first, self…

Thank you so much. It is so hard. I couldn't do it if I didn't think it was helping. I truly appreciate your kind words. 

I understand that, but hearing people like DJT Junior saying he's more concerned for the safety of his sons than his daughters was jarring to me. I was reacting more to timely made accusations. 

Thank you. I don’t really interact on here to know the ways of the Jezebel well enough. It hurt so badly being called a dumbass, when I had nothing but good intentions. Like so many, I too was raped and now work with kids who have been abused in ways that I could NEVER imagine. I am the voice for those kids and I will…

That was when I lost it, too. 

Absolutely, you exist. I'm very sorry.

Of course they are. But so is assuming that every accusation is a lie. 

I’m absolutely sobbing. I keep hearing how these “false accusations” are capable of ruining men’s lives. You know what ruins lives? Being raped.

He’s constantly yelling “Hey!” from his black SUV before declaring that he just wants one more look at her. DJT is no Jackson Maine. 

It would be awesome if TS’s fans help Phil Bredesen win in Tennessee. Marsha Blackburn is an evil, racist, homophobic piece of trash. Good for Taylor for speaking up.

Man, this is terrible. I know that Ariana Grande addressed the whole I’m not responsible for my ex-boyfriend’s self destruction thing. But I was in a terrible relationship while an undergrad, and he too overdosed not long after we broke up. As an LCSW now, I still struggle with the guilt that I couldn’t help someone…

Like on that episode of Younger. Not that I'm 39 and watching Younger, but whateva.

The story of Tahlequah and J50 are gut-wrenching. My husband and I are moving to Washington soon and I’m looking forward to more open-mindedness instead of hearing Tennesseeans saying, “Oh, you’re one of them tree huggers, huh?”

I’m across the state in Knoxville. My husband and I are both heavily involved in community organizing and several local organizations. It’s our understanding that the TBI has been doing this type of nonsense for a while. To that I say, fuck you.

Oh my word, it’s Space Jam. He and his preferred NBA player, Michael Jordan (“I like Mike!”), can go toe to toe with the nerdlucks. It’s 1996, y’all. Now with extra racism, misogyny, and horror.

While your first comment was great, it was the second comment that really made me laugh entirely too hard. If only everyone I encounter today had your wit.

Ibought it was some kind of pastel gel pen, as in writing utensils. I have no idea where that thought came from. Who knows where thoughts come from, they just appear.

She handled herself so well! If it had been me I would've been a stuttering, stammering mess who thought of things I should've said on my trip home. 

Oh my gosh. It’s terrible. I’ve cried. A lot. This made me sob. I am so sorry.

Im very sorry. Please know that an internet stranger is sending love and peace out into the universe for you.
