I know Jezebel isn't supposed to be a "safe" place or whatever, but I really wish that image had been put after the jump. Any article with a reference to anything pro-ana is (a) extremely triggering for many people suffering/recovering from an eating disorder (b) something I never, ever would've clicked through to

When I realized Abby Elliott was related to Chris Elliott, it blew my mind.

Katy Perry doing something for attention. Color me surprised...

I was a little confused maybe my first couple times on there. Since then it's like, I find something I like, I post it. How is this different from a million other social media, etc. No one's confused about posting to facebook... (or if they are, I don't want to know them).

You find images online (or take a photo of something yourself) and click the button on the upper right that says "add." You can add a pin—that's when you link to a page, like a recipe you like, and the image shows up. Then you write something about it. This is how I keep all my recipes organized. I also keep a

So no one in this thread has any info. Can someone who's not at work—there has to be at least one of us—please go and report back? I'm thinking that if I don't have to show my face and can use a pseudonym, this is a way better idea than selling stuff on eBay. Plus, no seller fees.

Alright, alright. Name Lifted Directly From a Jane Austen Novel contest winner?

I recall Katherine Heigl being in a movie about sleeping with an older man when she was about 12, so.

Well, in the contest for Most British Name Ever, George Percy loses out only to Benedict Cumberbatch.

This one, too. And you're right about the party affiliation.

He kind of defies categorizing in terms of political affiliation, which I both love and loath. The thing is, you can't be that conservative and be mayor of New York. He is a big-time advocate of public health (see also: the banning of transfats, smoking in public parks, posting of calorie counts on menus), so this

Posted to my FB. Beyond it letting Komen know people are taking action, it lets Komen know exactly how much money they're not getting since deciding that women's bodies and health should be used as pawns in an absurd game of political chess.

All processed meats (deli meats, sausages, bacon) are treated with NH4OH at some point and people shouldn't fear it because it "sounds bad".

There are lots of gross things in McDonald's food, not the least of which is actual meat from animals who spent their entire lives sick and miserable. But mbs1017 is right—this is a sort of urban myth.

I think much of this thread misunderstood a_common_reader's point. It wasn't that insensitivity to foods, or allergies to them, is made up or silly. I have chronic, debilitating stomach problems, and when someone dismisses them, it's really hurtful. It's a matter of Gwyneth saying it (a) when we've seen her eat all

Oh, I don't know if we can throw Gwyneth out with the bathwater (heh) and suggest because she bathes with her children that she has no "body issues." Otherwise, I'm in total agreement.

Please, please, please tell me that's really her tub and she posted it on GOOP, in answer to some question about the best way for working moms to relax?

I think it was her attempt at seeming kind of granola and down-to-earth. How far she landed from that mark demonstrates exactly how not down-to-earth she is.

Also, "I have a lot of inflammation in my system, so I'm not having anything I'm allergic to..." Ah, I see. So normally you do eat things you're allergic to? I know my sister just knocks back shrimp—to which she's allergic and from which she becomes violently ill—until she feels a lifting in her adrenal cortex
