I am so here for it #imtooskeksisformyshirt

Could the Olsen twins have been far ahead of us in their quest for mastery of a Baba Yaga aesthetic?

Genuine question: why does the National Anthem play before domestic sporting events? I understand playing them at like, the Olympics, where numerous different countries are competing against each other and it is kind of neat to hear each one, but when the Ravens are playing Patriots (for example) why do we need it?…

An indie makeup company just released a Baba Yaga blush this morning. The timing of the release on the same day as the results of the poll is actually complete synchronicity since it’s part of their Halloween collection that was developed and scheduled for today a while ago, but I feel like I should mention it anyway.

I work in a psychiatric hospital that serves primarily lower income patients. We know that people are sacrificing in many ways by being there. Saying “it’s good that you were able to do some self care” is an attempt to put a positive spin on that sacrifice.

Self-care is a really simple and yet really weird, complex…

I have often thought that the term “self-care” betrays a certain classist mind set that permeates mental health care. I once explained to a psychiatric nurse that I was there because I had had to take time off work due to panic attacks, and he said “well, it’s good that you were able to do some self-care.” I was like,…

Incorrect. Starvation and malnourishment, even with the large human population we have now, are political problems, not yield or scientific problems.

It’s funny how people project on neutral Jez posts. Sometimes people get all indignant like why are we supposed to be angry about this?! and then there’s comments like this one with the whole so what why are we praising this?! It’s like some readers just can’t handle news for news’ sake.

She was a pretty savvy businesswoman as well. A large part of her fortune actually came from selling half the shares in L’Oréal she inherited from her father in exchange for a stake in the Nestlé company (which actually now owns about 30% of L’Oréal).

We desperately need an earnest beauty tutorial on this exciting new look, Jezebel.

One thing that is always so off-putting about these child singers, is that no matter how good their voice may be, most songs are about love, and they sound so inappropriate coming from children. But with Darci’s amazing ventriloquist talent, she is able to avoid that. Singing “Natural Woman” would have been stomach…

She is adorable - she made an old lady puppet flirt with Simon. And I enjoyed it and I have a cold shriveled heart that hates this shit and these shows.

That’s ridicous? It was perfectly plotted through out.

: ( Am I a nerd if I thought that was a thrilling tale?

We’re both to blame.

I think “evidence based” comes from academia. It means that there are peer-reviewed studies behind it. I know in education we use this term to mean “this isn’t just something we made up and will actually hurt kids.” Most of what is sold to schools isn’t evidence based, so we point out when it is....

I’ve been rewatching Friends (for no good reason) and asked my husband what life would be like if two of our friends lived next door, and his sibling and another of our friends just hung out at our place all the time. I love my friends and family, but that is Too Much. I mean, in Friends, they are even over at Rachel…

Hey now — you’re building a human! A friend once told me when she was pregnant that it was the most productive she’d ever been while doing absolutely nothing. “I’m pretty sure I made an eyeball today... and I didn’t even leave the couch!”

We’re not talking Disney faeries; we’re talking fae of olde, who trick men and steal children, control the elements and shape-shift.
