Yeah, I feel like Joan’s been getting piled on unfairly lately but this just sounds like sour grapes towards the pretty girl. Yes, Emily R is stunningly gorgeous, but from what I’ve read she appears to be some sort of feminist icon to a lot of celebrities her age. She speaks out regularly for women’s rights, but she…

Why is this article being so critical? Why insinuate this woman doesn’t read the books? Regardless if she actually reads the books or not, these are still good recommendations. The tone of this article isn’t very feminist.

Self Help is just about the funniest, most amazing book ever. Totally appeals to anyone who’s ever had a jackass eviscerate you in a writing workshop.

I’m confused about the tone/gist of this piece. Are you trying to suggest that she is just posing with these books and doesn’t actually read them? I admit I have never heard of her before, but a two sec review of her personal life section of her Wikipedia makes it seem like she’s progressive and actively so IRL so she…

I’ve enjoyed the videos of zoo keepers just deciding to...show random animals to each other. Like the beluga trying to figure out wtf the giant iguana was.

I went to visit my grandparents in San Jose a few years ago. They live in a fancy condo neighborhood up on a hill that overlooks the city. I went for a walk at sunset one day because it was soooo nice. Everyone seemed to be walking their dogs and I saw zero children despite everyone being what appeared late 20's early…

I take my cat out in a stroller every day in warm weather. I hear “Is that a cat?!?!?!” roughly every 2 minutes. I’ll attach a leash to her harness and put her on the grass in the park, and she immediately jumps right back in her stroller.

I was in jail but it was actually prison because for some reason in CT everyone goes to prison even if it’s a misdemeanor. There weren’t any county jails for women. This lady named Jodi who had already done 2 years in the Martha Stewart prison (federal) got transferred to the state prison. We were on 23 hour lockdown…

Honestly, I hadn’t even thought about this. We’ve been working hard to get the house on lockdown (my wife has cancer, so no visitors please) and that included letting our housekeeper know we wouldn’t need her for a while. It was before the world fell apart and was more an effort to keep all sources of infection out of…

He looks like a professional “marry old ladies and kill them off” guy from a Lifetime movie.

Thank you for sharing these pictures, they’re all lovely. I had a tortie and she lived to 19. With the time you’ve spent around them, would you agree that they have “big” personalities? Does the placement coordinator advise adoptive candidates (the humans) in advance?  I have lots of tortie stories, one involving a…

Shelter Catstravaganza!

I actually think that's the case. I thought her family (Karlie's) is, like her, very liberal. So this whole thing is actually pretty funny. I really don't thing Dr. Kloss is a Kushner/Trump toady at all- quite the opposite, though in a clever way.

I mean.

Pre-Kanye Kim was so beautiful. I remember seeing her as a young 20-something and actually feeling good about being a short girl with a big butt. I never liked Kanye, but when I heard he threw away all her clothes like some kind of controlling maniac I got a bad feeling about where that relationship was going. Oh well.

She does speak some truth though. He was a johnny come lately to the Democratic party, just to self servicingly win the presidency, who then complained that he wasn’t treated like a long standing member. His tepid endorsement of Hilary followed by his bros spouting “Never Hillary” nonsense certainly didn’t help her…

I think knowing the kind of proposal your partner wants is super important. It does seem like most people, at least around here, would not want it to be public. But there are definitely plenty of people who would, for whatever reason. I especially like the reason Lindy West’s husband gave for doing a public proposal:…

Shannon, I hope you have read the comments here and will reframe your writing style and probably your worldview as a writer in general. It’s not a true crime thriller story ffs. A man took his life and he and his family deserve respect.

I know this sounds too hyperbolic taken on its face, but I do think it’s something that should be said and considered: to some extent, organisations like Jezebel are continuing, and furthering, the abuse that people have suffered when they insist to us that they are notable first and foremost for their victimhood.…

My heart breaks for people who take their own lives. That level of despair, it’s overwhelming, I imagine. The pain. So, so sad.
