So after the big blow-up about her as a “scammer” I followed Calloway on instagram to get her side of the story, and one of the fascinating parts of her saga is that she actively exploited this trope. She knew that seeming rich would get her further - so she faked it, while actually coming from a fairly troubled and…

NYMag/The Cut have published a few pretty white girls gone rogue stories in the last couple of years which were easily their most read stories. Elizabeth Holmes, Anna Delvey, Caroline Calloway are the manic pixie dream girls of the instagram/technology age.

I can’t believe Getting an A was a 14 seed. You know what kind of people read Jez? Nerds. We didn’t just love getting A’s, we LIVED FOR IT.

I’m still not okay with how GG ended. Fuck Dan. There, I said it!

Given Lena Dunham’s obsession with abortion and her wish to have one in real life, I would be shocked AF if Hannah didn’t get one. I also think a miscarriage is possible, since she is waaayyyyyyy too early in her pregnancy to be telling everyone she knows about it. Isn’t it like 10-12 weeks is when you should start…

also yes this is a fictional show and i may be too invested. you should hear me talk about “gossip girl”.

There are a lot of men out there. And I don’t know most of them, but it seems pretty damn unlikely that there are nearly three and a half billion rapists just walking around like it’s normal. I think it’s time to climb down from the outrage pony. It’s had a long day and is very tired. There is nothing to be gained by…

I was with you until the last bit. That is such a horrible, massive generalization that has no bit of merit to it.

Lots of women have rape fantasies. Please remember that kink shaming is not okay, and neither acting in nor viewing videos simulating rape is an endorsement of actual rape.

OK I’m just going to say this - staph is not something to mess with. Someone said that she got it somehow from visiting the hospital, which I just can’t figure out unless she had a cut already and it got infected? I don’t know.

Posting good deals you claim to have found elsewhere is way more useful to your fellow readers than conspiracy theories are.

One of the highlights of my childhood was standing in line for hours at a kids’ store called Zany Brainy for a book signing with Ann M. Martin, circa 1994 or thereabouts.

My high school guidance counselor was Mary-Anne in the series!

Boo, I want the cast from the series!

I loved Alex Mack, totally my jam too.

I’m there with you. My BF works crazy hours: a week of 7-3, a week of 3-11, a week of 11-7 and we’re hardly ever on the same page emotionally. I just got off work and he just got up, I’m drinking coffee and he’s drinking beer or vice versa. It can be hard to sync up and both be in the mood at the same time.

I feel like neither of those thoughts demonstrate either empathy or compassion for a fellow human being and her family who are, it seems, going through some rough shit. I like a contrarian as much as anyone else, but come on.

It’s awful that this resulted in a tragic death, but if he’s convicted of manslaughter that is going to set a really dangerous precedent.

Small world - I’ve had my crashed rental Toyota Solara towed to this Sunoco a few years back when the combination of black ice + fwd on all-season tires + inexperienced winter driver turned crunchy.
