Jesus - that picture of those two is a self-parody. Looks like it was pulled straight out of an old issue of National Lampoon magazine.

I actually attended a service for a research project I was doing for a religious sects class I took in grad school. People there were very intrusive and asked a lot of personal questions. I gave a fake name because they freaked me out. I did a follow up call as a prospective parent regarding their school and they…

Here’s what I just don’t understand: at what point with the GOP rein him in. I understand that he’s the president (barf), but it does seem like high-ranking GOP-ers are at least concerned with his level of dishonesty (McCain particularly). I think the press and most rational people, like the 61% of people who…

That is a bizarre thing to say to a woman.

Those are some really shitty PowerPoint skills for a high end business

It’s the LOL shirt that gets me every time.

Wow, it’s almost like it’s a tale as old as time.... (Still kind of wish Dan Stevens had stayed on “Downton.”)

Is it the brother who took part in the Women’s March and called Jared out for trying to exploit the memory of their Holocaust surviving grandparents?

Racism is when someone thinks a race a beneath theirs, this was not racism. She thought a kimono was hip and didn’t take into account the cultural significance.

Well one major problem is that arabs generally tend to destroy things while Jews generally tend to build things.

My oldest was a little older when he asked that. I just told him “That’s a great question!” and he was so proud of himself, he left before I had to answer.

tis the great ungreyer!

There was a really great piece about someone being hit by a bus once. Forget who wrote it, but it was really good!

I hate her.

Did you know that Claire now writes at http://skillet.lifehacker.com/? It’s pretty great! Also that particular article was a goddamn disaster. There’s a very special hell for someone who would pick a nom de plume that is a real person’s name to vomit up that kind of garbage.

I feel like a vast constituent of XoJane commenters were people who couldn’t get ungreyed on Jezebel.

I’ll miss columns like Claire Lower’s Recipe of the Week, but I stopped reading when they started posting shit like that article about a woman who detailed the drawn out relationship she had with a guy who tried to convince her to be naked around her young daughter, bring the daughter into his nudist lifestyle and…

I think it’s worth to also point out that xojane was filled with some memorable shit. Michelle Tea’s essay series? It wasn’t all bad.

I was thinking this past week how great of a spot for empowerment xojane could have been in the wake of the inauguration/marches (similar to how Jez is), but Jane absolutely drove that site into the ground with her terrible choices in articles, from the lazy, uninspired, and downright dangerous (those homeophathic…

I will miss xoVain, but you better believe I cackled with great enthusiasm when I heard xoJane was going away.
