I already replied to you earlier to get out of my head and now I have to say HOW GOOD WAS LESS?!  Literal LOLs throughout, but not lacking in heart or pathos.  God, I loved it.

I honestly didn’t think I could hate Ansel Elgort any more than I already did and then my spidey sense began to tingle and I thought, “I bet that little fucker has famous/connected parents.”  His dad is a fashion photographer for Vogue and his mom is an opera director.

Maybe a trampoline park, then?  Still the same liability insurance but year-round?

I would love, love, love to be wrong, but I can’t see how One Hundred Years of Solitude can possibly be adapted, even as a series. It’s a book containing magical realism that somehow reads as a bit magical itself, while never seeming pretentious or hokey.  Now for me, the Garcia Marquez masterwork will always be Love…

GET OUT OF MY HEAD, GRANDELATTE. I always read the Pulitzer winners and usually its short-list too because 99% of the time, they’re solid. What even was A Visit From the Good Squad? I read it before it won and thought, “Ok, I mean, that was fine.” Then it won and I was so bewildered. Goldfinch was the rare (singular?)…

I stopped reading it, I thought it was so bad. And I don’t give up on anything, least of all something well-reviewed or Pulitzer-winning! All this time I thought it was because it was a really, really bad time in my life and I was misdirecting my oppressive disappointment and emptiness but apparently not.

Watching Court’s insta throughout all of this has been a delightful reminder that yes, she’s Courtney Love but she’s also a 55-year-old mom. It’s the most delightful combination of righteous anger deployed by someone really good at rage, random spacing, bad grammar, and momstagramming.  I couldn’t possibly love her…

I think we can all agree that Dior’s judgment, particularly where Sauvage is concerned, is hideously bad. https://jezebel.com/the-fashion-industry-never-fucking-learns-1837778755

Agreed that she is in a shit situation and my heart goes out to her in a big way. As a follower of her insta, I can tell you this is just her eye makeup look, though, regardless of any ups or downs. In her real life, this has been her eyeliner for years. Now, she’s been kind of in a bad way off and on for years so…

This is totally a gender issue, you’re right. I’m only calling out this site’s previous relentless criticism of an artist you’re now praising because you’re women. You see right through me. If Rich Juzwiak posts something way out of step, I never say anything. Defer to the male prerogative at all times. It definitely…

I literally came here to say exactly this. Why does it look like she slept in it?  I am 100% rooting for her so this isn’t shade so much as confusion about why she wants her make up to look like that.

Oh my god, the “the bizarre fascination with her fake name and fudged backstory”!!!! Jezebel was one of the chief trumpeters of Lana Del Ray disparagement and ridicule, particularly when it came to her name and backstory. It was in a post in which Jezebel equated chola culture with all Latino culture (apparently…

This is well said. And there is a very entitled tone to his apology—more a demand for forgiveness than a plea--that may be part of a defensive posture but ultimately doesn’t read like true, abject contrition.

There’s a lot of willful blindness that gets covered under the heading “take it on faith,” or similar. For me, it’s always illustrated by people who rage against homosexuality while eating shellfish or touching a football or wearing mixed fabrics. It’s the SAME FUCKING PASSAGE of Leviticus that bans all these things.…

3. God has a plan and this isn’t part of it. How arrogant of you to think you should be party to Almighty God’s plan. Don’t you know he knows better than you?

You know, since I became a mom I’ve realized what a hard time I have with doing “my best” and it being, if not good enough, then still something of value. And this struck such a chord with me because in this type of Christianity (which I grew up in), there is absolutely no notion of grace. There is no room for “keep…

My reaction to this sentence was way more petty: “Oh, child. I’m trying to temper my response to this but you coming in hot with the PoC/gay slang so soon is not helping me be on your team. If you threaten to spill any tea or start telling your wife she slays, it’s gonna get ugly.”

I want to be a person who believes in forgiveness and redemption, but I just can’t with someone like this. We are all sorting through our trauma and pain, some of it (like internalized homophobia) truly significant, and no one who harms other people is lacking a past or a closet in which some truly horrifying things…

And ironically, Denise is breathing life by being so unmessy as to be confused by the messiness. I find it so charming. My favorite are her asides to Aaron when she has to explain what the fight is about. It’s basically like, “I dunno, babe. This bitch is mad because...don’t worry about it, honestly. I missed 80% of…

What’s most troubling in that quote is that Yoffe has no notion of subjectivity for anyone but men accused of assault. Why is it that an accusation cannot be sufficient cause to result in the obliteration of someone’s psyche and desire to live, but that the obliteration of one’s psyche and desire to live sounds like an…
