I've helped develop a start up. I designed the entire web-based service. I'm now being told I can't be on the board because as a 26 year old woman, I'd cause investors to balk.

I cry at everything and I support your crying. This is a lovely story. Tissue?

All you mods are fabulous. Thanks Slaybelle, Wolfabeast (is Wolfabeast still around? I love Wolfabeast), Jan74, BabyJane (you are amazing), and Celia. And the mods I inevitably missed.

No worries.

Get a trim, because your hair stylist will know exactly what to do with it. Ask her during the cut.

"Burn in hell."

That happened to a friend of mine this fall (flowers). What is with that? Is that a thing? Should I just be like "Do whatever" because they will anyway?

It's inappropriate to joke about providing poor medical care/not providing medical care in a public forum.

I'm not. I was trying to explain being a nice guy vs being a "Nice Guy."

Love Tracee Ellis Ross, partly because she's my photo-face soulmate. She's always so gorgeous but photographers always seem to manage to capture a candid moment mid-laugh or mid-speech, and those animated moments often don't translate well in a static photo.

...and things seem to have worked out! There was some initial unpleasantness, but I replied with my perspective and told her I understood hers, and then this morning she sent a long, thoughtful note back. I think she was mistaking me for someone else who was a friend of his toward the end of their relationship.

100% agreed.

I will let him know.

I did. I just got her reply. I feel bad mainly because the fiance doesn't know I reached out. I'll let you know...

"Rashida Jones — Brilliant Woman of Color — Inks TV Deal" When Jez doesn't need to address that person as "positive-adjective-skin-colour" in a headline.

ohhhhh my god Jezzies I just fucked up so hard by sending a facebook message to my fiance's ex about how I don't get why she doesn't like me after meeting me once for 30 seconds and can we try this again.

Not everyone is a dick about this. Ignore the haters and do you. Personally, I'm jealous.

I dunno. I make more than my fiance because he's a bit lazy and very afraid to put himself out there. If he'd gone into anything but freelance work by my side, his income would probably be greater than mine.

Egalitarian marriages for some, miniature American flags for others.

I have a widows peak and am also one of those people who has no idea what to do with her hair, so I've always let it fall at a center part until the past 2 years (I'm 26). My friends all beg me not to center part, but for me that means fighting with my hair for an hour. Does it really look that bad? (It does.)
