I’ve never even struggled with significant mental illness and I still got emotional and teary as the screen went dark after she showed the empty pill bottle to the flight attendant. This show is incredible and this episode was excellent. It got so dark yet still felt so real. I like how Josh wasn’t in this episode at…

I wish! I recently moved to VA and took care of everything at the DMV two weeks ago, and I registered to vote after switching my residency, but I had just missed the deadline! I felt terrible and really wanted to vote in this election. Fortunately, the results are what I wanted!

Agreed. I think I will always reflect back on this election and my ultimate takeaway will always be “America hates women so much, that they elected Trump.”

A few years ago Jez ran an article about bell hooks calling Beyonce a terrorist, and a lot of people wrote comments either saying “I have no idea who bell hooks is and why is she doing some hipster thing with her name?” or “this bell hooks WISHES she was as good as Beyonce!” and it was amazing to see them get on their…

I think we’ll have to wait and see. I mostly agree with you, but I remember last season when Rebecca and her mom were very intertwined due to Rebecca’s past with the professor. In a weird way it seemed Naomi was protecting Rebecca and had her best interests at heart. Like they were a team. Not saying its great or…

Its interesting to read the comments on this post because a lot of people are talking about how they identify with Rebecca. I’ll add myself to the list. While I haven’t gotten nearly as out of control as Rebecca, a few years ago I was in a very, very bad situation in which I lost pretty much an entire group of…

Start small, like auto-saving $50 a paycheck to your savings. Make a budget and stick to it...be absolutely ruthless. Whenever you go to buy something, ask yourself if you REALLY need it and calculate the overall cost and then mentally deduct it from your bank account. When you buy something, keep the tags and…

“You need to put in 95% effort for 5% return. If you don’t, you’ll get too comfortable, and after your 20s thats it.”

She definitely seems witty. I follow a lot of them on social media and its kind of surreal because you see their lives play out in real time, and then I watch the show and its like a delay. For example, I saw Stassi’s instagram stories right after her boyfriend dumped her. So I know that’s coming and have to admit I’m…

Thank you for the tips! I am open to looking into any medication. I am currently prescribed maxalt but haven’t tried it yet. I had been using imitrex but it didn’t really work that well and just made me drowsy. A few months ago, I got a horrific migraine that messed up my vision temporarily, and I was so freaked out…

Honestly, it was super anticlimactic! Haha I ended up going with a huge group on a party bus, and getting a migraine as soon as we arrived (I get them often). So I called my brother and he picked me up early. The next day I woke up and all I could think about was moving on from high school and going to college...never…

I started reading Jezebel pretty much as soon as you all started, when I was in high school! Jezebel helped me become the woman I am today - curious, critical, witty, and smart. I grew up and came of age along with the wonderful stories that peppered this website, as well as learning so much from the commenters. When…

I think Bush was an idiot but at least he was a happy idiot. Trump is an idiot clown who cares about no one other than himself.

I have a question - I have a 403(b) that I contribute to each paycheck. Then on top of that, I have a personal savings account that I just put money into as I go along. Do most people do that or do they consider savings to be just official retirement accounts?

Same. I’m in my mid-twenties now but recently moved to a more pricey city (due to a great job opportunity) and am REALLY careful about my money. I’ve always been a natural saver but I’m a lot more hardcore about it now. Every cent counts. I went shopping today and bought some clothes because there was a sale, but I’m…

Happy birthday! Mine was just on Thursday. I have to say the best birthday present I ever got was my cat when I turned 16. My dad and I saw her in the window of the vet’s office one day running errands, I said she was cute and I wanted her, and genuinely did not expect anything to come out of it, and then on my 16th…

You very clearly did not even watch the video or listen to the song.

I would also say “Love Kernels” from Season 2, just because its the PERFECT satire of Beyonce’s lemonade, and in the beginning when she’s dressed as a cactus and says “I guess the only way to explain it, is through abstract symbolism” it kills me EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Omg, that piece by Sean Penn was hilaaaaarious. Such a #classic “I’m a badass renegade Hunter S. Thompson style” cringey piece. Amazing.

I feel like its pretty obvious that the phone call is a prelude to them getting back together.
