Ahem. Bend it Like Beckham.

ARGH NO!!! I haven’t worked at a restaurant in years but I still get Mother’s Day Brunch flashbacks.

Well, I was a depressed and socially awkward teenager. Band (RIP arts programs) was the only thing I had going for me sometimes. I was picked on so bad in K-12 that I wished like anything to be invisible, so other than a bathroom stall, the school library (RIP, school libraries) was the only place I could go to be…

Oh, I’m not giving up, but I also studied history. I can be resigned to our fate and also shout things at protests. I’m a multitasker!

This kids are amazing! They give me hope (hope that is promptly soiled and squashed by anger and resignation, but hope nonetheless).

I hate HATE always being available and having to answer things immediately. Love my family, but my parents are both the “call once, no answer, call six more times, no answer, send an email and a text” types, and my sister skips the calls but usually expects immediate answers via FB or texting or what have you, mostly…

I was lucky that I never smoked more than one or two cigarettes a day, but it was still hard to quit. I had to ask my boyfriend to hide a pack of cigarettes for me. I made him promise that he wasn’t being set up to be my miserable gatekeeper and that if I asked him where they were, he would tell me. It then became a…

There’s a reason that AIM chose to occupy the BIA offices in 1972.

You can take bigly from my tiny orange hands.

If he and his team can lie about everything all day long, we get to keep bigly.

YES!!! Thank you so much for looking into this. This is how we fight these crooked assholes. By continually shining a light into their dark and murky dealings.

So. Let’s say you have this company that says its drivers are just contractors, right? And it’s up to them to choose or choose not to work (you might even say they have a “right to work,” har har). But then you punish them when they act like contractors. This is only one of the ways in which Uber drivers should…

Fuck yes Letter from a Birmingham Jail!

It is simultaneously surprising me and bumming me out that the Republican reaction to people getting (justifiably) pissed about the fucking terrible things that this administration has done within the past several days is to say, “Obama did it first!” I guess that’s because saying “it’s not a Muslim ban” was meant…

What exactly do you mean by “Snopes is spinning this by saying it’s mostly false”? Snopes is saying that what you are saying is false. Can you please explain how what they are doing is spin? I’m really curious as to how you arrived at this conclusion.

Because I believe in facts, and science, I prefer to view my heroes wholly, and to accept both their greatest accomplishments and their greatest failures. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do--bait me? Insult non-neurotypical people (do they vastly prefer football over other sports?)? Yes, Obama made some mistakes in…

I can’t tell whether I find this whole “blame that guy for the thing I’m doing thing” frustrating or fascinating. Both? Obama’s problem was a lot more complicated than that. He didn’t start the wars (I cannot believe that Republicans are trying to claim this now, I’m hardly old and even I remember that GWB started…

I quite literally yelled “gross!” and out of sheer reflex, threw the shoe on the ground (but then picked it back up and replaced it, because I’m not a complete monster).

Absolutely shameful and not ok! I just linked to your comment in an email to tips@jezebel. I hope they investigate!

My guess after reading your descriptive items about your flatmate is that you burn spaghetti by 1)boiling water 2)dumping in noodles 3)going to see lalaland.
