Amen. I think this is just a troll trolling, but that wonderful argument gets me every time: “She’s too immature/overwrought/angry to decide for herself whether to abort! Surely she’s ready to be a mother for 18 years!”

That’s the only kind of nicey-nice Christian.

Acid was the first drug I was really high on, and I also read this in middle school. Never made the connection till now!

There was a movie based on Go Ask Alice and you can see it on YouTube.

In my experience, people who respond to criticism (or anything, really) with a bible verse and zero other context are probably pretty rude, yeah.

+1 for Team JoJo. People who attempt to clapback with Bible verses are gross. It just tells me you’re a coward who hides behind you’re cherry-picked religious text and use it to justify your shitty behavior.

I found the book on my own in my mother’s room, and even as a teen, I noticed the literary whiplash between when “Alice” was clean (low-grade pseudo-Victorian dialogue) and when she was using again (lower-grade hippie trope-a-ganza), so I had my suspicions. I don’t know what drug education was like in the 70s, but I…

At the age of 60 this is the first time I’ve heard this. Read it as a tween and really thought it was true all these years. Shame on all involved.

Reading the first story makes me Team JoJo all the way now. Brue can go hang out with Kirk Cameron and leave the rest of us alone.

Don’t forget Newt divorcing his WIFE WHO HAD CANCER in order to marry Perky Boobs #2. It’s the party of family values, all right.

I am so sorry you went through that. I’m in awe at your strength.

Republicans: Women getting divorced to leave their violent husbands = bad (J.D. Vance), Men getting divorced to marry a younger wife with perky boobs = good (Newt Gingrich<twice>, Trump <twice>).

Funny how many of the most conservative states have the highest divorce rates. It’s almost like the things they believe don’t actually gel with reality or something.

What’s Vance’s response for children who witness domestic violence then?

As someone whose parents stayed together for her sake, I say, “Fuck you, JD Vance.” They both would have been happier if they had divorced when I was 8. I would not have gone to women’s shelter with my mom for multiple weekends, then gone back home. I would not have had to sit in the back seat of a police car while…

Loving or hating Lena Dunham feels so 2013.

When I lived in L.A. a friend and former student, who has gone on to write for a few high-profile TV shows, was talking to me about Dunham/Girls. And she said, paraphrased, “I really like that show and her writing but none of what she writes represents me at all. But I also know girls exactly like them.”

yeah also season 4 is up there with some of the best tv i’ve ever seen.

It’s hilarious how often people think Dunham was actually claiming to be “the voice of a generation” and not using that line to indicate how aimless and underserved her generation felt.

“I think that I may be the voice of my generation. Or at least a voice. Of a generation” is the quote from Girls.
