It's like TGIF "Show us your squee" came early! I'm jealous of your Shiba - looking so comfy and warm in bed...

In the same vein: Can I add a hearty fuck you to people who refuse to give up their seats for the elderly/handicapped/pregnant/otherwise incapable of standing? It's COMMON COURTESY, people!

Once, a giggling gaggle of girls made me take a bajillion pictures of them posing by Britney Spears' star. They took up the whole sidewalk and took forever with their inane poses, and finally I just said "No. No more. Get off the damn sidewalk and let me pass."

I've been known to (attempt to) herd my family into smaller spaces when we're out and about...but having a huge, obstinate family with hard-of-hearing relatives makes it damn near impossible. My friend once told me I looked like a sheepdog trying to herd a bunch of cats when I'm around my family. Not sure if that's a…

That's so awful there's no way to begin to explain what's so awful about it.

Oh, you better believe I imagined that. To great satisfaction.

This made me laugh harder than it should have...all the crazy religious people in my life don't even know what Twitter IS (and, if they did, they'd probably be morally opposed to it because of Reasons) so I guess I gotta hand it to your dad, religious nonsense and all.

This has nothing to do with the piece...but you have singlehandedly increased my (albeit very meager) gif collection twofold since I started regularly reading Jez. Thanks for the ever apropos reactions!

My mom's instated a "ban" on looking at adoptable animals online because of this happening while we skype: "Mommmm, look at THIS ONE! [picture of a dog] His name is Bogart and he has a mustache and he just wants to be loved and cuddled forever... I want to love and cuddle him forever! [cries]" Whenever it happens, she…

I'm not, but I'm thinking of moving there soon-ish. And, seriously, a loud 'fuck you' to that person for implying it's those young women's faults for being assaulted because they live where they live.

I've just got a whole slew of nasty troll comments. Good thing there's a "dismiss" button, but it really doesn't make anyone feel good to get a bunch of mansplaining that "this isn't rape culture" and telling me how I was in the wrong. Blergh!

I'm allergic to this too! My ear lobes seem to be of the mindset of "Stick pretty earrings in us - no matter the metal - and we'll inflame and swell like there's no tomorrow!"

Yes! Hollaback is awesome. There were some articles on Hollaback here on Jez a couple years ago(?) and, as I was planning on moving to a larger city, I read up. It was the beginning of my introduction to the concept of "rape culture" and, indeed, my heretofore lacking "feminist education." (Though...I do find it kinda…

That is one helluva curse. I hope you don't mind me stealing it and using it against all the shitstains! :)

Oh, thanks for the recommendation(s). I'll be sure to check those out.

De-lurking because I had to comment:
