Yessss. We should hang out, I’ve never agreed with someone more.

This is actually a good take. I don’t hate hummus, it just seems to be the go to dip now, which I object to, mostly because people bring those damn pita chips that taste like tree bark.

Plus my ~hot take~ is that basically all store bought hummus tastes like garbage compared to the simple, homemade version.

Missy Elliott taught me that if, after careful consideration I wanted to work it, I would need to put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it. Sage advice, indeed.

Making your own hummus is so simple that it is frankly idiotic to purchase it. Plus, it isn’t like when you are done making hummus, you have no use for the individual ingredients. Tahini is great, chick peas are great, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper? Tell me you can’t find a use for those things and I…

Totally agree, and for the love of God, don’t spell it “homos” like I saw at one restaurant once.

I agree completely. If you don’t like hummus, that’s ok. Accept that you don’t like it. Do not lie about liking hummus by making things that aren’t hummus and pretending they are. That is foolishness.

Jezebel has become very meaningful to me, so all my love and support to the writers striking. This is the only place I can stomach reading politics now, and the commenters here are gold. Life would be shit without the women writers of Jezebel. ❤🌸

This is a nice idea but I have to make my money. But.. I will refrain from spending my money in solidarity.

Thank you! It’s a hard road, but it’s a road of discovery. Why grey? Ha! Who knows? Possibly because I’ve said some naughty things to some of the writers? I don’t have much of a following and that’s OK. Being grey has its weird privileges. lol. I see your comments a lot too. I would likely see more of them if I…

I can give you one reason not to envy. I was a committed bulimic for 2 years. It’s virtually all I did. Have you seen those photos of destroyed teeth? I did , which is why I always brushed thoroughly after. Five years later my teeth started chipping more easily, 10 years later they were significantly darker. After…

Yeah I know that guy... the dude who’s outspokenly woke af about LITERALLY EVERYTHING, but then whenever you have a disagreement there’s that tinge of condescension in his voice, and he starts getting really unchill and personal about it.

Only read the headline thus far, but my immediate answer is “a swift kick to the rump,” and I’m pretty sure I’m right.

“People praise you for it”

I think everyone with these issues has a unique relationship with them.

Same. And it was such a horrible death spiral. Feeling like I was failing at an eating disorder just made it that much worse.

Omg same. Diagnosed and semi-treated (hard to explain- but it being covered woulda been helpful! I had to be treated for “general anxiety” and “nutrition deficiencies” instead) with anorexia years ago, but still struggle. And one of the biggest shames I had was that I couldn’t properly purge- which I saw as ideal…

If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say that they were going to “be bad” or “cheat” by eating a cookie or something, I could retire early. Not to mention how weird myths about what healthy eating actually looks like continue to persist (and new ones crop up and get perpetuated!) It’s no wonder to me that…

orthorexia is practically considered a virtue.

Thanks for sharing something so personal, Julianne. As a fellow young adult with a long and complicated history of an eating disorder, it can be hard. People who are in that weird purgatory between critically in your disorder and recovered are sort of the forgotten group.
