Murder is used for humans because it separates taking the life of an unwilling victim from the act of violence that it is. We use language like that all the time. Like using the word meat, instead of dead animal. Just because we have created language that allows us to divorce ourselves from actions, doesn't mean…

Uh I hit three at once, like a few weekends ago. Sooooooo.

Translation: he's had 2 partners

"(a)nything more than that is unacceptable." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. K.

Guys, it is nonsense to get angry over this. I've read so many articles pleading for plus size clothing, and when that demand is met you shame them for charging more?

In my experience, Latinas do not use midwives. Many if us are first or second generation immigrants. We know what can happen when you give birth with midwives and your children don't get vaccinated, either we or our mothers saw the horror and that is enough for us to be happy to go to a hospital and vaccinate our…

Then your original post has no actual substance to this article other than the flimsy rhetoric of it not being placed in realism. Whereas it clearly has connotations that were affected by and continue to induce reality. I hold as much stock in him saying that as I do Van Gogh's laughable assertions early on that he…

The horror of being a beautiful model with the bone structure not quite the same as another beautiful model. Oh the humanity. I can't imagine that horror. I hide my beauty behind these mummy wrappings, but her perceived slightly less perfections are there for the whole world to see!

And yet this article is not really about Goude, and it's certainly not about who he procreated with. Don't delude yourself thinking you weren't saying anything about race when you choose those methods, on this article of all articles, to defend the work of a white male photographer who fetishizes the black female…

If you're to invoke Grace Jones as if she's some sort of old school rendition of "I have a black friend" you also need to recognize the areas of toxicity that were inherent within their relationship which led to him leaving her when she gave birth, of which he claims bore Jungle Fever out of "his emotional turmoil."

My face during that video.

I do believe they're insincere. Don't tell me these gorgeous people are all plagued by low physical self-esteem. Why are they in that profession if that is the case? It's BS (marketing).

Oh, fuck off.

This so delightfully tone-deaf. I'm very thankful for the huge grin that this put on my face, because I'm having a rough week. Their STRUGGLE is so moving. I can't have Extraordinary Beauty X, because I have Extraordinary Beauty Y. I can't have all the Beauties! Much like Oedipus, Electra or Orestes, I'm stuck with…

I'm curious as to what end you mention Goude's relationship with Grace Jones. It hardly absolves him of nor precludes him problematic or racist intentions in his work.

Articles like this- well-researched, nuanced, adding historical context to today's topics, sharply analyzed, and well-written- are my favorite part of the Jez: The Next Generation

FWIW, she died before birth and received an emergency c-section to save the child. It's amazing to me what medicine is capable of doing, and in this case, it was giving that father a few moments' time with his kid.

Some people don't want their baby to be forgotten. I feel like it would be worse to pretend that they never existed.

I don't think I would be able to go on after something like that.

Someone please explain how this piece of garbage music that is obviously misogynistic has curried such favor across the knee-jerk condemners of Jezebel/Gawker? I'm sorry, but I just read how Nazi uniforms on K-Pop stars are un-fucking-acceptable, but black dudes fucking chicks and whispering in their ear "don't tell…
