As long as Koko the gorilla hangs in there, I’m good.

Where’s pie-pie with her craft thread? I need to share my completed work!

Hey Chicago Jezzies - we’ve got a March for Abortion Rights coming up. Be there or be square....ly screwed when they try to take our reproductive rights away.

The move is complete. I have left my mother’s roost to fly on my own. I am exhausted, my body hurts from carrying shit for two days, and I’m blissfully happy. Now I just wish my cat would come out of hiding. I hope she isn’t traumatized.

I got a rice cooker for Christmas, and I used it for the first time today. The rice came out perfect, and I’m so excited. That’s all, this is the kind of thing I get excited about. The clay bowl chicken recipe from Every Grain of Rice that I made was also delicious.

Because Common’s ‘fine ass’ is probably fucking every other base bitch on the block. Thats the thing Jezzies dont get about hot guys, they have options and few penalties when they take them so why stick around?

Like, how did she go from Common’s fine ass to this guy? Exceptional black women should not be falling for base-model white men. You get the damn deluxe model or you leave everything in the showroom. *smh*

No, she wasn’t one of the guys. Tom wasn’t grabbing the other guys’ asses, only hers. Letting him do it and them laugh about it was the price of admission for being the girl they tolerated in their group.

Yes it’s so infuriating that ball-kicking is considered OFF LIMITS. If men don’t want to be kicked in the balls, maybe they should stop ASKING FOR IT by doing fucked-up shit that makes you have to kick them in the balls!

There was some bad hair-band video in which a woman kicks some dude in the balls after he does something bad to her—I remember laughing at it as a kid and my super-feminist mom telling me that balls-kicking was akin to rape. Rape! I will never forget how shocked I was even as a child to hear my mother say that.

it should me mrs. and mr. serena williams now that you mention it

I never wore makeup but I’ve been experimenting with it lately. Always garish — blue lipstick, glitter eyes, stuff that is not “pretty” but like a poisonous snake that warns you away with bright colors. Screw them and their entitlement to how I should look.

And Michael, too. My college boyfriend reprimanded me for putting pantyliner wrappers in the garbage in his bathroom because his roommate would tease him for it. I was so humiliated. I didn’t occur to me then to be pissed at him and his stupid roommate. I feel sad for my younger self, and I’ll never stop being pissed…

Great piece. And may I recommend getting fat? I am completely invisible now. But nothing makes men angrier than a fat feminist who loves herself. Example number one - Lindy West. She rocks.

Wait. Her net worth 150 million and his is 4 million?

Vanity keeps me from throwing away my makeup and sanity keeps me from, as I often feel the repugnant urge, breaking the mirror with the surface of my own face and leaving us both cracked open. But I also can’t deny my current impulse to become as ugly and unlikeable as I can, merely to serve as constant reminder of…

This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.

This was amazing. Thank you for writing!

Yay! I sent in this tip because I have Alexis as a Facebook friend and he posted about it! I can attest to the fact that he is super cute about her, in a very low key, very proud to be with her, adores the hell out of her, kinda way. So, yes, I believe he would treat her right! (Plus he’s Armenian, so I have a soft…

Fuck Tom and all the Toms of the world.
