Our basset's name, Mitchell Barbara Manatee, has a good cadence so I usually just repeat it over and over to various classical tunes.

My cousin has a three-legged German shepherd named Feargus Jacque. His song is obviously to the tune of Frere Jacques.

If you're not happy with your marriage, then leave. You shouldn't be cheating on your husband no matter how much of a loser he is. Unless he knows and is, for some reason, okay with it. What's the fucking point in being married then.

Jesus Christ, this is a shitshow of an article. And it could've been done so well, too.

I totally lost my commenting privileges for sharing this sentiment but a while ago but Jezebel, stop writing about race. I know, as the smartest white girls at our liberal arts colleges, we're used to assuming everyone wants to hear what we have to say. But there are things you know nothing about—just shut up and…

I hate trying to explain about these seemingly-innocuous incidents and being told that I'm "reading too much into it" or "making everything about race" or whatever excuse is being used. I've been at this thing of being Black for 38, almost 39 years, and I know the codes, so don't tell me that I don't know what I'm…

"We have for so long imitated the West, and this is the first time that a person who has no link whatsoever to the Arab world, an American girl who does not speak Arabic, sings Arabic songs."

I cannot beleive you would end this story with a reference to Miley, even if that's for "perspective". Since my great grandfather was murdered during La Violencia, my perspective of this is plain contempt and disgust; so I'm going to give you much unsolicited advice on how to write about conflict:

This shit is ages old. It still boils down to: women should not have appetites. Women need to contain themselves, and be contained, in all aspects.

I don't know about you guys, but in my own love life, there is a 100% correlation between guys who label me "crazy" or "needy" or "possessive", and guys who have cheated on me.

No, that's an urban legend. Tattooing is against Jewish law, but many people who have broken Jewish laws are buried in Jewish cemeteries. Although there may be some Jewish burial societies who ban tattooed bodies in their cemetery, that's an isolated custom and not a religious requirement or a majority rule, and it…

Actually trying to prosecute men for crimes disproportionately committed against women = biased the process

If I were to write an article on 15 years of being an AA to a B, it would consist of a single sentence:

I wish sites would remind me of their password guidelines when I'm trying to log in, so I could remember which variation of the password I used for them.

The problem is that most organizations have bought into the "YOUR PASSWORD MUST CONTAIN A NUMBER AND AN UPPERCASE LETTER" password school of thought, so instead of being able to make my password something long and easily memorized, I have to remember which letter is capitalized, which number I used, whether or not I…

After the godawful trainwreck of "get lucky" I don't I'll ever listen to anything by pharrell
