I wrote this after the Brock Turner trial and then-known-as Emily Doe’s victim impact statement. I’m copying and pasting it here because I’m going to start reading her book soon and I felt like it was appropriate to share.

This is literally how Rebecca Schaeffer died.

I thought taking the upward C-level track was the wisest move, only to find I hated everything about it. From that and several other missteps to include having my own business (very successful) where i managed people, dynamics, operations and everything else on top of hustling for gigs ...I found beauty in the…

Added:  I am an individual contributor.  I recognize that in myself and management is not a path I would like to take.  I accept this limits my upward mobility, but I’m good with that.  Some can manage, and I briefly embarked on that path in my last company.  Nope, nope, and not ever again for me.  I only want to be…

do you have enough for 3 glasses?

“I wasn’t officially cheating on you and lying to her!”

“The only advice i have is: when you’re ready, take people to the places you went with him and make much better memories”

Well for me now it feels like everywhere. I went on vacation for two weeks and come home to have him send me a text Wednesday saying he was talking to someone else and had been agonizing telling me. You’re in agony?! He just moved here so I’m terrified of running into him because I lived here my whole life. Every…

As someone who is a strong supporter of Israel (but not Netanyahu): this is bullshit and yet another entry on the long list of things that makes Netanyahu the worst PM in Israeli history. 

What gets me is it takes Satan Jr. here offing himself for anybody to notice what was clearly standard operating procedure for the facility and had been for years. They took the same chances they had gotten away with with tons of other prisoners, high profile prisoners, and whoops, rolled snake eyes.

‘Small Gubmint’ Republicans seem to not understand the consequences of under-funding everything. You wind up being dangerously understaffed, whether we’re talking the criminal justice system, the child welfare system or the air traffic controllers system.

Can someone explain why I, a grown ass woman who never managed to master the somersault, even in my most limber of childhood years, is tearing up watching her?

If you can “pass” for a Canadian, then it certainly doesn’t hurt your chances in the immigration process. However, if you're VERY American - accent, ignorance, racist, attitude - then it definitely doesn't help. 

Is she genuine? I don’t doubt it. She comes across as the nice, goofy sort. Does she come across as 100% calculated? Yes. Which, I get the whole “she’s been raised in the biz” mentality argument, but that’s also a personality type. You can tell she brushes her hair exactly 25 strokes on each side, never gets lipstick…

I’ve got this cutie on one side of me..

Oh boy. I was twenty...somethingish when this came out and I watched every episode. Every comment that says, “I was in 2nd grade when this came out” or “I was 10" just makes me cringe because it reminds me how old I am compared to the average Jez commenter.

I mean yes she’s very strong, but look at the entirety of her character since the beginning. She literally has not valued herself from the very start. The only reason she’s even involved with the Starks was because of her love for Renly. Everything she has done in the show was the bizarre extension of a promise she…

Bill Maher aside, I love all the liberal dudes who are basically saying if women don’t shut up about men getting handsy it will be their fault that Trump gets re-elected. Fellas, let us know when we’re allowed to have personal boundaries and conversations about consent, k!

Hi Jezzies, a few of you will remember that I was homeless and then finally got rehoused by the council into a flat last year. The block the flat is in is awful and full of drug dealers and that I am the only female in the block. I posted last year that my doctor had written to the council to say that I needed to be…
