If ever there were a good reason to profile, it’s manifestos. The minute you receive a 23 page fax from anyone, the sender should be immediately picked up for psychological evaluation.
Can you voice-tweet? I don’t know why I’m really stuck on this detail, but it baffles me.
As someone who also deals with horrific things with humor, thank you for this!
So this guy is running from the law and posting on Twitter and Facebook? Not sure why he was fired, but it certainly wasn’t for not being able to multi-task.
Same situation here, and once my friend made a “bulimia: twice the taste, zero the calories!” joke and another friend was mortified on my behalf. But I laughed so damn hard at that stupid joke. If I didn’t laugh, I’d be a sad person.
As a recovered bulimic, I’d much rather hear a silly joke about it than read about my friends Fitbits or their clean eating plans or their Shake-ology lifestyle.
Wow. You lot seriously need to chill with your outrage boners. I am East African and I find nothing offensive about this post. The models are themselves clearly African and so what the post has been written by a white woman? Who died and decreed that only natives of each can be informed about their respective…
“Stay in your lane” is contrary to the advice I see in lots of Black criticism of mainstream media. I’m more used to seeing “Please use your platform to amplify Black creators” and “don’t assume all your readers are your demographic.” If a makeup blogger for a major site like Popsugar only covered makeup styles for…
It’s an interesting conundrum. Because as someone who works at a large mainstream women’s media outlet, we’re often told to “stay in our lane.” And just as often, we’re called out for ignoring women of color and not writing about things that are of interest to them. When we have one of our white writers write about…
So she showed the proper respect and you’re still not happy. She developed and reported this story - but because she’s white - you still have a problem. And if you wish “a black woman had the chance to cover this subject because she might have offered something a bit deeper than: Oh shit, this looks cool!”, why didn’t…
Hmm a Jezebel post trying to make a racist issue over nothing and claiming white woman can’t even look at something from another culture for appreciation. Oh look it’s Kara Brown. Is there a way to just block a particular authors posts cause my eyes are getting really tired of rolling over here. Guess I need to stop…
And maybe I am going out on a limb here. But being a foreigner too... Do you even find this offensive at all? Because this reminds me of the time Lana del Rey dressed up like an LA gang member and Jezebel was trying to tell me that she was “appropriating Latina culture”. And I’m all confused because a) I’m Argentine…
It seems the argument over cultural appropriation has hit peak eye roll. First, it’s not a good thing to wear cornrows when white because you are calling the style something different (chic braids according to some magazines), taking away it’s identity, ignoring the people who started it, and engaging in cultural…
I do wish a black woman had done this but I think this chick handled the possibility of appropriation really well.
Is Ryan Reynolds likable and I missed a memo? His twitter is funny. He seems delightful in every interview- witty, self-aware, intelligent... how the fuck is he married to B Thirsty?
I grew up on a farm and we raised sheep so I do know about sheep.

or spritzes her with a spray water bottle?
I automatically type 1995 everywhere because that was the year Clueless came out.
