Fuuuuuck that is powerful. All the love to her, and to all of us with similar stories ❤

If this movement does nothing else for me, it will forever be a reminder to me to teach my daughter to NEVER be silent when something feels off, to not normalize the actions of men because these actions are NOT normal. Call these assholes out by name to their faces, to their bosses, to anyone who will listen. We are…

This was so moving.

I get another go at the dream job! Next Friday. It’s the same job (staff doula at a local hospital) that I went for in December but in a different part of town. It would be a longer commute but that’s ok. And they requested my references this time for people to fill out email questionnaires, so that’s a step further…

Recommendations for eyebrow products? My tube of Gimme Brow is finally out and who knows if it’ll ever be back. I have lots of eyebrow, I mostly use products to shape, and for a little tint.

I want to get some opinions from Jezebel readers about something going on up here in Canada. There has been a brouhaha over a policy decision Justin Trudeau’s government made recently. Essentially, in order to get funding from the federal government to employ students for summer jobs, employers must respect…

Oh wow I’m actually on time for once! Normally I’m late and don’t bother writing out the lengthy posts I’ve written in my head over the week because there’s already like, 300 replies, lol.

This is true- the restraining order process can be really complicated. I helped one of my students get one and it was a nightmare to navigate- and I’m a social worker. Imagine how difficult it must be for people who don’t have the background knowledge, don’t have a high reading level, or don’t speak English well! And…

Thank you! I’m the letter writer.

This deserves as many stars as possible. Came here to say the same, as a former domestic violence advocate. I wouldn’t call the police or seek a protective order without creating and implementing a comprehensive safety plan. Document everything extensively - keep a log with detailed information, screenshots, etc.

Wow love how quickly people read this frank discussion of how the economics of Hollywood disenfranchise women, and went; “Fuck her she said a mean thing about Faye Dunaway.”

fuck “class”. she’s trying to make real change in the industry. expecting women to be “classy” while they work hard at things is just another way of policing them.

She’s not dragging Faye, but rather pointing out how dispossable women are in Hollywood. Faye was huge in the late-60s/70s, was in films that made money, had massive critical acclaim, and an Oscar to boot. Then, she made two films that flopped, and her career was dead. She has tried resurrecting it - even going over…

I think that reinforces the point though — the conversation here should be a lot more nuanced and handled more deftly. I’m in my 30s now and I know how to say no, but pretty much throughout my 20s as I explored my sexuality I consistently ran into situations that I didn’t know how to handle. There’s a lot of pressure…

Seal, please shut the fuck up. The reason why there are so many incriminating photos of celebrities palling around with Weinstein was because he was a virus who ingratiated himself with anyone who had influence. And I find it a tad sexist that only women are being criticized with their associations with known male…

Thanks! I was looking at the Hue ones, and they seemed totally erratic. I’ll look at the others!

Ugh, it’s so hard not to say anything. I hope your situation with your friend works out, too.

New Relationship Energy is a hell of a drug. I would let her relationships play out from a distance, if you can. I know it will be hard, but it sounds like she is at least temporarily obsessed. If she asks why you seem to be distant explain calmly that she seemed to be focused on her boyfriend, and so you backed off.…

I’m in desperate need of friendship advice.

I love the Assets tights from Target. They are Spanx’s cheaper line. They are very opaque and very high waisted, which are my needs.
