I respectfully submit *some* of the side eyes of Paris is burning. I would also refer you to Rupaul's drag race for a tutorial on side eye.

From the NPR Article "So are small burger chains like Moo Cluck Moo — which are willing to pay workers more and serve more upscale menus — going to put pressure on the giants such as McDonald's and Burger King to raise wages?

One Thanksgiving, my teeth were just starting to come in. I was miserable and crying. My material grandmother, a lovely and tiny woman from Ireland, decided the best thing for me was to rub whiskey on my gums. Unfortunately, she didn't realize my paternal grandfather, an ex-Navy Italian from Queens, was doing the same…

I'm drinking red wine and eating soy chorizo tacos (my thanksgiving salmon didn't defrost properly) while marathoning Harry Potter (I'm on 4!) and watching videos of Beyoncé dancing on YouTube alone in my apartment. So basically this is the best Thanksgiving ever?

Excuse me, but 100% of Jezebel commenters got married at the court house in a sensible, hand-me-down pantsuit that they purchased at Goodwill for 50 cents. There were no flowers, no photographs, and nothing but the utmost seriousness. After, the entire wedding party dined via Groupon at the local gyro stand and everyon…

Some people don't want their baby to be forgotten. I feel like it would be worse to pretend that they never existed.

The sole goal of the religious vehemence of anti-abortion laws is to preserve the life of the baby long enough for it to be baptized and "saved." After that they wash their hands as though they were Pontius Pilate himself.

That's exactly why there should be a law that every person in America should work as a server for one year.

That's when a guy walks up with the missing forty dollars and tells the woman it was on the floor by their table. To which she says "bullshit" and storms out saying that I'm a fucking thief. Moral of the story is, don't give small children lots of cash.

I imagine that guy probably paid out of his own pocket to make the…

This is going to be incredibly long and buried in the depths of the grays, but I'll tell it anyway.

There is something in my kid's bathroom. I've always been pretty sensitive and after years of living in some really haunted places, I've learned that the best way to deal with spirits is to ignore them. My abuela is also sensitive and she always told me that acknowledging their presence gave them power. So when my…

The summer before my last year of college, I lived in a treehouse on a friend's property on a large island. Set back in the woods a bit, it was pretty secluded. I loved it. It was quiet and I could do pretty much whatever I wanted which usually involved an entire six pack of PBR, nudity, a pellet gun and Grace Slick…

My exhusband owned his home when I met him. He had bought it in foreclosure and had divorced his first wife while living there. (this will be relevant later). I became pregnant soon after we got married. We had remodeled the entire home, floors, walls even electrical panel, nothing odd had happened. His son from the…

Ok, I'm gray, so perhaps nobody will see this, but I hope a few people do, because it's a true story and just about the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.

As a prelude to this story, let me state than I'm agnostic about ghosts. I've had some experiences that could have been ghosts or it could have just been me being tired and jumpy. This experience, though, made me put a little bit more in the "believe in ghosts" column.

AARRGGHH I LOVE THE JEZ SPOOKY STORIES CONTEST!!

I went to college in another country, in a very old city with old buildings and houses. We had no dorms so I rented a room in the top floor of a three story house. The room was isolated from the house, my door opened to the roof of the house and then I took a set of stairs to get to another door to get into the actual…

Uhhh...as a Canadian whose hometown was attacked on Wednesday, with several friends involved in the lockdown... I don't find her tweet in the least bit offensive. In fact, it pretty much sums up the POV of many of my friends posting on social media: for us, this is a big deal because gun violence is not a daily/hourly…
