Look, if a mediocre reboot or sequel was enough to “ruin your childhood,” you know what? Maybe your childhood wasn’t so great to begin with. In fact, maybe it just flat-out sucked.

I don’t usually ever comment. I’m a proud comment reader and I love the humor of all of you on this site. But I had to comment. That this article was amazing and poignant I've shared it amogst friends. I've always admired this site. And I'm so proud of this article. Jia. Such good work!
Seriously. As someone who is dealing with infertility, and a DH who doesn’t want everyone ‘up in his business’ (meaning,’No talking to family about our private issues.’) it would be great to see Jezebel have a series.
It’s crazy common to have miscariages and infertility and think you don’t know anyone else who has gone through it because nobody talks about it. I’m kind of shocked that Jezebel hasn’t done a series on it given how many different reasons there are for infertility and means of treatment.
Thank you Jia. I am 35 and currently 31 weeks pregnant. As soon as I read about the cost and the roof, I was going to find a way to donate to him. I already donate regularly to Women’s Medical Fund because access to abortion is a basic human right. I am pretty amazed that being pregnant with my wanted baby has made me…
I didn’t see this right away and I called Dr. Hern’s office to ask how I could donate money directly to the practice. I had a fifteen-minute conversation with Dr. Hern himself. In addition to being a hero, he is a very humble and cool guy.
I know it’s so hard and painful to do, but I wish more people would talk about their miscarriages and other fertility issues. I was completely shocked when I realized how common it is, and I think it would help a lot with the feelings of failure that so many women have when they have trouble conceiving or carrying.
*bangs head against desk repeatedly* why
jia, want to thank you for writing this. i am not a mom, have never been pregnant, but was moved to tears by your words and the way you spoke with elizabeth. this story is so important,and i’m glad you were the one writing this. thank you.
I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.
Way to miss the entire fucking point.
fuck off
My heart broke into one thousand pieces for this woman. my god. MY GOD. I CANNOT.
Who are we talking about, again?
Kid A and Amnesiac were a devastating disappointment for me (although a lot of that was my expectations and not the albums on their own merits), Hail to the Thief has its moments, In Rainbows was fantastic, the latest one was garbage. One good record since 1997 doesn’t cut it for me, either.
Yup. “Damn those guys...hipsters. They’re so dumb.” [Clicks publish and unintentionally promotes said dummies. Ch-Ching.]
Uh... Pretty sure they entered that phase around fifteen years ago.
Sure! I thought King of Limbs was pretty great. I saw them for the first time on the supporting tour and they were phenomenal.

Free press, and it worked perfectly.
