Well, it looks like Paste Mag might be bringing Jezebel (and Splinter!?) back???

I started reading Jez in 2009 and cannot believe that not only is it over, but in such a sad, muted way. You all are wonderful and have made many a shitty day better.

I’m not arguing here against the state being hostile to women’s healthcare and personhood one bit. I agree with you. I am just stating, and I think we’re going to be seeing more of this due to these insane violations of the rights of pregnant people, that consequentially folks are going to take steps and actions, like…

Thanks for putting this so much more eloquently. Absolutism also exists on the left, sadly, and some things aren’t a matter of righteous outrage, they’re just complicated and tremendously sad for all involved.

I am pro-choice and deeply mourning the loss of reproductive rights in this country. [Bracing]. And I also think this case feels complex as at over 7 months we are talking less about a clump of cells and more about a living being who could technically be born at that time and, with assistance, survive. If this occured…

Sadly I think you’re 100% right. There’s just too much money to be made by bankrupting and permanently hobbling the next generation for Democrats to say no. But they sure do care about looking like the good cop.

I am so over how someone always has to trot this out every time something undemocratic has happened in the last 7 years without any ownership of the very true points you make above. And how the minute a progressive criticizes anything neoliberal and moderate, we’re shamed for being divisive and not falling in line,…

Exactly. I’ve been cringing since the breadcrumbs of decency got thrown our way earlier in the week that they were gonna fuck shit up on affirmative action, discrimination based on religion and student loans. And here we are.

Ugh, when will you guys stop with this? There are so many other queer women of color who deserve this level of attention.

Great. Now I have mmmbop stuck in my head but with...

Can the headlines please be a little less...spoilery? Luckily had watched before seeing this and actually hadn’t been expecting that twist. Would’ve kind of ruined it to have seen this first.

I wish I was more confident that this will mean anything or keep us from getting another republican fascist dictator in 2024.

Thanks for writing this, could not agree more!

100% this. Kids are mean. The world is mean and ugly sometimes. Sanitizing children’s literature so they only see appropriate and correct takes leaves kids feeling awful alone in dealing with that. This is why the old Grimm’s fairy tales were so powerful. Kids get someone being put in an oven or having their feet cut…

This honestly sounds like so many underpaid jobs at gyms and dance studios. While BV and athlete’s foot both suck, they are not inherently part of Tracy Anderson’s Method (which I’ve done btw, and it’s not that different from any other ballet workout and honestly way less intense than a bootcamp/HIIT workout you might…

Yes! Thank you, it’s gotten so pushed into our brains by all of these lobbies that we need all of this (animal) protein when we actually can get a ton from plants and are eating more industrialized meat than ever before (and this is having horrific impact on the planet). What we are in this culture is severely mineral…

Thanks for including New Jersey Man! We got ‘em up here in the Northeast too :P

1000% agree. But then I remember how much the democrats rely on the system not working, too, cause god forbid otherwise they’d have to then pass something that would piss their bankers off. This is all just a circus to distract us. On both sides.

I’m a little confused by the tone of this article. For a lot of reasons I don’t support the death penalty and think that the prison system in the US is basically unsalvageable. I also don’t find anything charming about somebody who repeatedly, with obvious premeditation, psychologically tortured their ex-partner and…

I was coming here to write the same. Wish they would acknowledge why they did. I guess the ghost of Gawker libel lives on :(
