Love her, love this. Good on her.

“A virus doesn’t care about your past pain and if you think a mask is suffocating, you’re really not going to enjoy a ventilator and being tied to a bed so you won’t pull out tubes.”

... I’m sorry, what now?

“I thought that things were fucked up in 2019.”

I didn’t know that about her brother. That is devastating... my heart breaks for their mother. 

Recently watched E! in a hotel and I can confirm they have other shows, which are also trash. But I exclusively watch trash TV when I’m on vacation, so I spent hours on Botched and Medium... good times.

That’s pretty sexist and dismissive, don’t you think? Women are capable of forming bad opinions all on their own.

I didn’t really realize how much of a privilege a US passport is until I married a Jordanian. I had literally never had to think about the time, money, paperwork, and medical papers involved in most people’s travel until I saw what he went through for our honeymoon... and I’ve seen that play out time and again,…

This one actually hit me hard because of his songwriting for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. A lot of those songs really mean a lot to me, and it’s sad that he’s gone so young.

Hot take incoming, but I hate when people share videos and photos of newborn babies taken IMMEDIATELY after they’re born... all of them, but especially the famous ones. It’s like, welcome to the world, your image is immediately public property! There’s a picture of my niece that was taken literally moments after she…

“Linkin Park issued a cease and desist to the President after the White House used their song “In the End” in a recent campaign video. “Linkin Park did not and does not endorse Trump,” the band clarified in a statement.” 

LOL, thank you! I actually only go on Jezebel at work and I thought the username would remind me of all the things I SHOULD be doing ... Hasn’t worked so far ;)

Fair enough. Didn’t mean to be short, it’s just glaringly obvious to me — but maybe that’s because my office prayer rug is literally a cutesy version of the header image:

Re: What makes these carpets Muslim — Besides the size and shape, which are identical to the prayer rugs used five times a day by Muslims around the world, the rugs in the header image and the Instagram post all go one step further and straight-up depict mosques. There’s really no other way to interpret this.

Yep. As soon as I heard my gym had reopened, I went down and paid for my membership to be frozen for two months -- and I expect to have to freeze it for much longer. I hope I can go back eventually, but right now, the risks are too high.

This has going on in full view of the world for years. Haaretz had a first-person account of a Uighur woman being raped in front of the other prisoners as a means of psychological torture, and I didn’t see a single other news outlet pick it up. It wasn’t even deemed newsworthy. Maybe the racist coronavirus backlash…

Yeah, I was so relieved to read that! But I think it’s important to keep in mind that cell phone data from that some period showed a lot more people in big cities were staying home than usual to avoid potential confrontations with police, so it’s possible that compensated for any bumps in cases among actual…

Absolutely agree. I will forever love Jon Stewart, my point is just that I wouldn’t sub out Trevor Noah for him in 2020.

Just read that Netflix took down a single Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode over blackface... but I’m pretty sure they did it more than once? Plus there were all of Dee’s racist characters in brown-face and yellow-face. That show has somehow managed to be accepted as a full on demonstration of how NOT to behave…

I loved it in its heyday and Jon Stewart revolutionized the gig, but honestly, a lot of his work hasn’t held up. I watched an old clip about police killings the other day and it was pretty painful to see how flippant Stewart was with the material. Don’t get me wrong, I give him endless credit for bringing serious…
