Last time there was a Jane post on Jezebel, it became apparent very quickly that most people are Team Raphael and actively dislike Michael. I don’t get it! Raphael is messed up. He’s emotionally manipulative, selfish and a wealth of other negative characteristics. Plus those eyebrows. Ugh!

If you’re that concerned, unplug your computer and hide in a hole in the ground.

While the inactive response is a problem, the good enough response seems to be a problem of it’s own sort.

& North east Indians, most of the tribal groups don’t belong to the aryan or dravidian racial groups. Many have Greek, Saka and Ethiopian genes as well. *sigh*

Van Gogh made paintings, inanimate objects you can objectify all you want. Mixed couples make people, human beings with features that vary wildly, who you are exotifying and fetishizing by deciding in a blanket statement that they're more attractive than other people. Stop doing it. It's not cool, it's not cute, it's…

No. Stop fetishizing mixed people.

It’s probably best not to conflate racial intermixing with racial acceptance. The mechanics of procreation don’t require them to be mutually inclusive, and the former not infrequently the result of conquest.

So a week after I started this job, a guy who no longer worked at the publication I worked for died in a car accident. I never met him, and he was a copy editor so it wasn’t like I was familiar in any way with him through what he wrote.
But nevertheless, the EOC said everyone needed to go. So I went. And somehow the…

called a customer “a worthless trophy wife cum dumpster” in front of her kids

You sound like an overgrown child. Retail ain’t pretty, but most adults can suffer it with at least a touch of class.

I hate this woman.

I think it sounds like creepy mind control. Also they’re framing a lack of sexual desire as a medical problem that needs to be treated with risk drugs that cause severe side effects.

No, we don’t want blood all over the place. But it’s not all over the place, it’s on her pants. Try to point out to people that they’re overreacting because of unconscious stigma about vaginas and it’s NO! BLOOD BAD! UNSANITARY! DANGEROUS!

How civilized of them!

Seriously, I’m kind of surprised by all the “eww, gross, or oh, she’s so lucky she doesn’t bleed as much as I do, etc.” comments on here.

I think being slightly worse than average at most things at first is better for a person. I’m not naturally good at anything. However, everything i’ve decided to get good at, eventually i end up rather better than average. It takes a LOT of hard work, application, falling down, injuries, embarrassment, and…

...you’re right...wow...don’t know why I had mentally marked The Borrowers as Jones’ work... ... ... Laputa was kind of a mishmash of “Castle in the Air” and “Treasure Island” with some Hindu mythology sprinkled on top though.

for example...compare it to the “Young Wizards” series by Diane Duane...far better, but overlooked. ... ... ...and I don’t know how many people I’ve met that don’t know that half of the Studio Ghibli films are based off of books written by Diana Wynn Jones. (I’m still waiting for a Dark Lord of Derkholm movie, though.)

I am astonished to learn that a brand that is so associated with female end users (source: informal anecdata survey of my Facebook feed) has so few female staffers.

I’m a little surprised that their employee base wasn’t already mostly women.
