So much awkward dancing...

After the election, I have been so concerned for the US (I was writing ‘our country’ but the world and Jezebel are bigger the America) and it is so scary and frustrating to feel as though your country is no longer a place you can take pride in. Then I remember what a bleak past this country has, and that despite all…

Their plan is to literally starve and freeze out the Indian population who lives there to protect white people from... a danger that doesn’t exist.

Yes, but that’s not the point or the problem. The problem is the threats that people in power are making to all involved. The threat scares people into complying. Whether it holds up in court or not is something that is decided much later. The threat of (illegal) action is the fastest way to get what you want - in…

AND to couch this in terms of protecting public safety is complete bullshit. The state government and law enforcement have been setting up unnecessary barricades and blockades and positioning themselves across from the camp as a line of fully-geared riot police so that the press can take photos of a scene that is…

The jailers go out of their way to make sure that women CAN’T unite, to ensure that solidarity can’t happen.... Same thing happens out here, all right.

It’s an uplifting name. She’ll float above all the other children. When others react to her unusual name, she’ll remain inert.

I’m all for freedom of religion. Believe what you want. But I’m not going to celebrate a representative of a belief system that tells women that their bodies are intrinsically immodest.

Yeah but better to have people subverting them like this than not, right?

I am not a big fan of pageants, but I think, given that they exist and will probably continue to exist for some while, there’s nothing wrong with using a pageant as a forum to spread a message of inclusivity. A lot of people who watch pageants are probably the same people who have never met a Muslim and only know them…

So, what, you’re just going to decide the meaning of a specific belief system’s accompanying actions without any reference to knowledge or information about that belief system (hint - hijab has nothing to do with women’s bodies being “intrinsically immodest”) and then decide that whatever meaning you just made up…

But the thing is that Muslims doing stuff that notable and normal is a big deal, American Muslims are living in country where they know that so many hate them, her being in a pageant is not directed at you but to all the young Muslim women who dealt with hijab being pulled off or being told they are not beautiful. But…

I love her. Her courage, her beauty, her dimples. Those dimples!

I dunno this Ed guy but I do remember that horrible James Blunt sweater song and I think the wrong guy gotta slash?

I don’t know what kind of parties you think white people are having. I read this and was like, “Wow, the stars may actually be ‘just like us,’ but the aristocracy certainly isn’t.”

Sheeratrice?

A few years ago, we saw her live doing Wishful Drinking on Broadway. Two things about the wonderful performance: we sat in the front row and were anointed with glitter by Fisher; as we were leaving, some uptight old broad from the UES kept saying, loudly, “Oh, she was so beautiful—what happened? Why did she let…
