And even if she had been bandwagoning here, her tweets still would have been important! This message is one that needs to be signal boosted by everyone with a platform, so the 100th person that does it is just as important as the first! So many states (including important swings states like Michigan, Florida, and…

This and the Bella Hadid story a couple of weeks ago is click baity misogony. Also, and damn it I hate defending Swift because she kind of annoys me, she came out before this - in June in support of BLM and donated as well. This makes it sound like she bandwagoned on this. It’s misleading, lazy, and *unty reporting.

I feel like Jezebel has lately been more “bratty high schoolers share their hot takes on the news” and less “interesting perspectives on current events.”

“I feel like Jezebel has lately been more “bratty high schoolers share their hot takes on the news” and less “interesting perspectives on current events.” I’m becoming wary of clicking through on anything anymore because I feel like I’m fueling real trash rather than journalism.”

You know what’s good feminism? Not shitting on women for using their platform for good.

At this very moment Trump is having post office boxes in left-leaning areas removed and destroyed. He’s destroying USPS’s mail-sorting machines and his flimsy reasoning was that they’re “too expensive.” Something that’s already paid for and working is somehow to expensive.

It’s like the whole thing about women having to work twice as hard to be accepted even applies to other women and it drives me nuts.

I mean. Let us not do the far-right’s job for them. I really think of all the choices, she is the best one. After Nov 3 we can do all the think pieces we want. Then in 2024 we can talk about what they need to do to improve but until then...shush. (I mean shush in the nicest possible way.)

I’m not calling AR a narcissist. I’m saying Jez political writing overall (incl. some of Ashley’s) exhibits that dysfunctional pattern of adulation or total rejection. It’s true that this article expresses ambivalence, not hatred. But it’s ambivalence because (if I read right) AR feels some small pride about the VP…

No good reason to think that’s Ashley’s goal tho. She seems to be out here doing her best as she sees it. But the whole framing of political writing on Jez is off - they cover pols like any other celeb: do we love her? Hate her? (in this case neither, but still framed in those terms). Researching and reporting on…

Anything to depress the vote. Trump is a literal fucking fascist but eh...we’re not super excited about the Dem choice. So, you know, guess we’ll stay home and watch the downfall of America. 

I am not in a bad mood and this annoyed me as well. This is not the time to look for the absolutely perfect candidate. This is near-literal do or die time. 

I like this comment. Why does Kamala have to be perfect for this to be inspiring? She is far from perfect, which puts her in the company of exactly every politician ever. Still something to cheer. 

I’m sorry. Maybe I’m in a bad mood (in fact I know I am), but what even is this about? I don’t understand how, as a Black woman, you can’t be completely excited about her nomination. I am a Black millennial who cried actual tears (!) when I voted for Obama in 2009 because I never thought I would see a viable, Black…

I’m sure the police unions, sheriff’s departments, officers involved, shitbag pundits, and basement-dwelling grays will be issuing an apology for using this incident to claim persecution and as die-hard proof that cops are mistrea- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, just kidding. They’re just going to keep teargassing innocent…

I know right?  Wonder Woman 1984 is the only one I really care about, and it isn’t mentioned. 

Seven blank spaces to fill, eh? There were Seven Dwarfs. Seven Wonders of the World. Seven different fruit in Hawaiian Punch.

Look, I don’t care where they tell it as long as it gets told. 

The only pushed-back movie I’d have shelled out money for in the theater anyway is Wonder Woman, and I still have faith that I will...someday.

What if it is just him trying to split the Dem vote to give Trump more of a chance?
