You have been one of my favorite Jez writers and I will miss seeing your work here, from your coverage of serious issues to the seriously funny (RIP Shade Court). I’m a big fan of Black-ish and wish the same success for College-ish. I’ll carefully watch College-ish for a shout out to us Jez shitasses. Maybe it will be…

Good luck, Kara. You are a great writer, and also a salty princess. I have enjoyed all of it. College-ish is lucky to have you.

You are damn funny. And I love your way with words. Give them hell.

Legit I will watch College-ish if it promises to include some sort of Shade Court reference as well as copious amounts of Ed Sheeran burns

You’re supremely talented and have taught me to think, opened my eyes to my biases and prejudices, and are generally all around fucken amazing. I will miss you terribly and for Pete’s sake, don’t let Chris Brown on your show.

I hope I said things that needed to be said. I hope I entertained. I hope I had more good blogs than bad.

I’ve learned a lot from your articles over the years that I’ve been reading. Many of them made me take a look at myself and see what I needed to change about how I view things.

Kara!!! I hope you see this, because I want to personally thank you for your work here. I want you to know that your voice and your articles on Jez have been *loved*❤ The work you did here mattered. You made me laugh and you made me think, and I’m gonna miss seeing your work here. I sincerely look forward to seeing…

Goodbye Kara. I’ll miss your wit and your insight.

I know you won’t see this, but you are a big deal to me and I’m happy for you.

Godspeed, Judge Brown! We’ll miss you— but you’ll kick so much ass you’ll soon forget about missing us sorry lil Jezbian Shitasses[tm]. Go knock ‘em dead.

i like you

They may not be bigots but they certainly are assholes.

It fucks me up that there are people who voted Trump who claim they’re allies. Who go “I have minority friends, I have gay friends, I can’t be a bigot or a racist”. You’re still complicit in all this fuckery. You knew EXACTLY what you were doing, and you don’t get to fucking “well actually” when people point this out.

…

I am so fucking sick of people on facebook being like “respect people regardless of what they voted and #notalltrumpsupporters are bigots”. We are talking about a candidate who ran on a platform of making society less PC, but his supporters can’t handle a few hurt feelings for being called out on their bigotry (or at…

This was lovely, albeit in a harrowing way. Mixed in with my fury and despair today, I also feel so deeply naive. Then I feel even more foolish for asking questions like “but HOW could this have happened?” I don’t know how it happened, and I don’t know how to describe or quantify the loss I feel. This piece was a…
