Hi Jezzies,

Can I tempt you to check out GroupThink? It’s a smaller kinja community (it used to be the Jezebel commenter blog). There are no paid writers, it’s like SNS 24/7, and eventually you can make your own posts. 

Good evening everyone. Love this community. Smart, bright and compassionate people. I’m really grateful for all of you.

Find another job that pays you what you’re worth, then give them two weeks notice. Your comment is a good starting place for the narrative you’ll be using in your interviews. (Not the shitty bits, the parts talking about how awesome you are.)

OMFG y’all Pumpkin Andy is sitting in the bar at a Cheesecake Factory and there’s nothing left of me, I’m so exhausted! I’ve been judging a college mock trial tournament all day and I’m dead! The kids are tremendous and it’s really a privilege, if not an honor, to do this. The trials were intense! The objections…

My parents moved away a few months ago which was pretty depressing because I’ve been lucky enough to always live close to my mom. I loooove my mom so much. So I hosted my first Thanksgiving today! My brother and his family came over, along with my husband’s brother, and it was really a delightful day. I’m quite…

I’m incredibly lonely too, and I cry a lot. Even when I’m surrounded by people. I often think if I die nobody Is going to realise. This place is a blessing. 

Thanksgiving has always been the best holiday for me, Mom and Dad. Even though it was just the three of us, Mom would insist on making a 23-25 lb turkey (they REALLY like leftovers).

I lost my daughter to suicide two years ago. Please be gentle with yourself and please reach out for help.

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the loss of my Gus cat. I miss him every single day. I'm so sad. Even though I have a new kitty in my life who makes me smile, Gus was my soul cat. There will always be a Gus shaped hole in my heart.

Regretting my current hair cut and not really caring about my birthday. My mother gave me a tote bag with my name and Planet Fitness gave me a free water bottle. That is the total of my celebrations. That and tying back my hair so no one can see how bad my hair cut is. Why do they always add so many layers? I have…

I’m having what is probably my first weekend alone since my mid-teens after deciding to leave my husband about two weeks ago. Being alone is an adjustment but I feel like I can breathe. After years of trying to lose weight, I lost 7 pounds in the last two weeks, confirming my suspicion that he was sabotaging my…

so this guy i went to high school with killed himself on monday. i didn’t know him well, i wasn’t really a fan, but he married one of my best friends from high school so he’s always been in my periphery. they have two kids under ten and are also very evangelical, so instead of a funeral today they had a party. (side…

i thought it was tuesday..... must remember... shops close early today.... its sunday... not tuesday... bout to start my second early shift of this week

So my dad has been given the all clear of lymphoma. The kidney is finally starting to do its job. We are celebrating with my homemade Jamaican patties and rice and peas, beer, spliffs and very loud Ali Farkar Toure. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday. What’s everyone else cooking/eating/drinking/smoking/listening to?

Physically and emotionally exhausted, thanks for asking.

Employers kill for guys like you, don't feel guilty, you earned it… 

I would grill your vets about the likelihood of a successful diagnosis and the odds and severity of potential surgical complications. Then you have to weigh their answers against the likelihood of success and possible complications of your non-surgical treatment options.

Well...as long as he made sure the buildings were empty?
