There are not enough bottles of white California wine in the universe to thank you for bringing this TOTAL CRAZINESS back to the Jezebel hive-mind. I literally was random googling The OC yesterday (that is something I just do sometimes when I'm feeling sad and needing a little Ryan Atwood) and saw this news story and…

Awww, thank you for saying that. The idea of it gives me literal heart palpitations but it's really affirming to hear an encouraging thought. :)

EXACTLY! And while I am pretty terrified about the idea of becoming a parent, it's not because I hate children or because I am convinced that I will somehow "accidentally" burn them with cigarettes or starve them, it's because I actually think, as tiny, innocent humans, children are pretty important and deserve a lot…

I totally agree that lots of people shouldn't have children (some because of skillsets and some because they are monsters). But, as one half of a "married but childless hetero couple" who gets asked about having kids, I feel the need to draw the distinction between "having the rights skills" to be a parent and being…

I have been a closet Levine-lover since "Songs about Jane" and I think that says something. Something = "I am totally embarrassed that I love Adam Levine and there's probably a good reason." I weirdly defend him for things that I hate in other celebrities. I excuse his blatant consumer-driven, product-peddling…

#whoselifeisthis...that's what we in humble-brag America refer to as "subtle." Kudos, Lefevre.

Yeah, I ordered a dress from ModCloth and while my customer service experience was EXCELLENT (they originally sent me the wrong dress so they rush-ordered my correct dress for free) and the staff I spoke with was incredibly kind, I have been less than impressed with the quality of garments. This dress was maybe $85…

I have been thinking lots of about this story since it first hit the internet. There is no denying that Jeremy Meeks is good-looking, according to a cultural beauty standard that I am fully socialized and programmed to admire. And that's about where you lose me. Because it's difficult for me not to see the…

Yeah, you guys. Respectful dialogue = "Go fuck yourself."

I COMPLETELY see the problem with an article in a men's magazine that so conspicuously ignores sexual violence statistics and policies that privilege perpetrators. It demonstrates a clear lack of priority and reinforces the idea that their readers (mostly men) don't need to care about rape. I hope that this…

Jonah has actually always struck me as a really genuine guy. I realize that he's a famous person and an actor and not one that I personally know but I just don't get a slimey douchebag vibe from him. I really believe his apology. He's right when he says he deserves the fall-out he's receiving and will continue to…

Okay, see...I would really like to hop aboard the bra-less train but then I see these articles advising "busty gals" like me to keep their chests in check. I don't want to be one of those women who needs a published women's authority to justify my cleavage but I am a product of my culture. I don't know that I'm…

Thank you so much for writing about this. Quickly- 1) I teach at a very large public university in the United States and frequently encounter related issues in my classroom and 2) I also work as a direct-service advocate for sexual assault survivors in hospital-settings. I know that not every instructor is going to…

Is it weird that I get excited when I see a gray hair on my own head? Total badge of honor in my book.

Wow, that's a good point. I do wonder about the ways that law enforcement traditionally have handled same sex relationships in terms of violence/crime. It doesn't seem like there's a great track record there.

Omg, I actually almost TYPED THAT EARLIER!! One brain. We share it.

Thank you for covering this story. As difficult as the subject matter is, I think it's really crucial to be openly talking about the ways that LGBTQ populations are affected by domestic and sexual violence. And yeah, that women can be abusers/perpetrators, too. I'm sad to hear about it but I don't think we're seeing a…

I do love the lady-cation. My best friend and I try to road-trip it every now and then and it just...it just ROCKS. Is there anyone who doesn't want to want to blast Spice Girls and gossip about the people we went to college with and get wasted on Arbor Mist in a moderately -priced hotel with a continental breakfast?…

I'm not surprised at all. If anyone asks my husband what his number one life aspiration is, he will always answer, "To be a stay-at-home dad." He has a great job but he has been adamant about his willingness to give it up when we become parents. While I do look forward to probably having children, his desire to…
