Australians are basically the same. Most people give a sum total of zero fucks about anything that doesn’t affect them personally. We’re a pretty wealthy, comfortable country so it’s easy for many to turn a blind eye to the poor, the homeless, the sick, the asylum seekers detained in abhorrent inhumane offshore prison…

And fill the pillowcases with grated Parmesan just before you leave (the ex boyfriend’s brother did this to their other brother once, it was every bit as rank as you think).

All of the above. And if you haven’t been invited make sure you show up, drink all their liquor and eat all their food, and then make a big drunken scene just to make them feel extra awkward.

That moggie is less “grump” and more “I’m going to kill you in your sleep”.

I wish I had more stars to give this. The most disturbing thing about this concept of people thinking that their significant is their property is that it’s not uncommon. We’ve all known someone who has been beaten down and broken (at least figuratively) by a possessive SO.

I’m not a cat person but Bruce’s face makes me want to cuddle him so hard (but only after I’ve taken an entire pack of antihistamines), how has he not been adopted yet?!

Maya darling, please don’t ever feel like you’ve let anyone down! Not us, not yourself, not anyone. You’re an incredibly strong woman with a huge heart and your tenacity is inspiring. You should be so proud of yourself for how far you’ve come. Of course, you need to do what’s right for you and put your health first,…

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through some shit ma cherie, big hugs from this internet stranger. I’m a terrible workaholic so when I’ve been going through periods of tragedy (cancer claiming both my beloved mum and beloved father of my boyfriend at the time in quick succession) I’ve thrown myself into my job…

If I knew the answer to this I wouldn’t be as pathetically broke as I am at present! Seriously though, if you’ve got anything of value you don’t mind parting with it might be worth seeing if there are local shops that specialise in whatever you’re selling (for example, vintage clothing and accessory consignment,…

White girl consumption of rap as a whole is fucking embarrassing. Hip hop is a collection political and cultural artefacts created by Black people that is mostly for Black people. That’s not to say that non-Black people can’t engage but they need to realise that it is not theirs. They are spectators first and…

Happy weekend, Jezzers. I hope y’all are having a good one. Let’s talk about women in hip hop. Following on from several conversations in other threads, it is abundantly clear that I’m not the only girl out here who is confounded by the relentless coverage of not very bright women with not very much musical…

She’s dope as fuck. In world where we have Snow, Shadia Mansour, Gavlyn, Reverie and all these other talented ladies out here on fire why do these mediocre morons keep getting so much air time? Open your ears, people!

Indeed. And it’s not even like they’re all that obscure either. I’m surprised Snow Tha Product doesn’t get plugged the shit out of on here, seeing as she’s pretty “on brand” for Jezebel.

I know I sound like a broken record at this point but when people first started paying attention to that garbage Bodak Yellow track the only thing I was paying attention to was how she was perpetuating harmful stereotypes of a culture adjacent to my own in the video. In the eyes of many, we MENA folk are either…

Good point. Especially seeing as her comments around trans women were also in the context of her orchestrating what is tantamount to sexual assault (getting her boyfriend inebriated and initiating a threesome with a “tranny” as revenge for him cheating on her).

Me too. I didn’t even know uterus transplants were a feasible option.

Fucking this. I get that she’s an albeit highly problematic intersectional feminist voice (WOC, not formally educated, &c.) who hustled her way from broke stripper to rich rapper via Instagram but that doesn’t negate the fact that she’s a violent bigot. I’m glad that the Jezebel contributors have finally seemingly…

Pre-fucking-cisely. And say what you will about advertising but there’s a pretty steep difference between a beautifully crafted, clever campaign and some Instagram “model” encouraging their tween fan base to hand over their lunch money for rebranded alibaba toxic waste material from China.

Girl has a whole lot of surgery that makes me physically wince when I see it.

All of these tracks are dreadful save for my BFFs Sleater-Kinney. I wanted to like City Girls (let it be known that I did enjoy all the ladies in the video who look like they’re living their best life, Florida style) but I can’t fuck with 90% of the rap game these days.
