I’m really uncomfortable with this whole thesis. It just doesn’t feel like it’s about Kate. I realize it’s always about more, but out of both respect and to lend some credence to the complexity of mental illness, I wish we just, like, *wouldn’t* for a moment.

and thank you for doing this <3

just shared, thank you!

Say it loud!

This is pretty much what I came to say. I’m really uncomfortable with this framing. It feels at best like we’re shoehorning a woman’s life into an agenda and at worst like projection.

but it’s also just REALLY REALLY good

lol! that about sums up its significance

you are making me feel old. i do hope this was a case of “tuned out of pop culture” and not that you were born in the last 90s. i’m just not ready to face my mortality with such intensity today.

also please go watch clueless TODAY. it really is the best. it stands on its own legs and is unlike anything else before or…

it’s more than the ponytail. but i understand how thinking that’s all i meant would make certain people tee hee at those crazy jezzie lefties

No, it’s not. No need to be defensive. Sigh.
It’s the fake tan and a lot of other “urban” signifiers. I don’t want to argue the point.

It’s more than the ponytail - is a whole look.

he’s also only 24 tho...

Way harsh, Tai. You think that joke makes one worthy of a pity fuck? Loosen up, yo!

I kinda think that was part of (if not * the*) point. it’s definitely appropriating a latina aesthetic.

I think we’re on the same page...
I like these people, but I’m really disappointed in their choices and frankly think it’s quite fucked up.

Came here to say the same. This is literally their job. This article is very poor journalism and represents the worst of Jez (as much as I love them).

I love you guys and I’m usually with you on this sort of thing but this is literally what the WSJ is tasked with reporting on. You can’t spit them for doing their job. There are plenty of other outlets for what you’re seeking here.

I still don’t get it. Those are good people. I’m firm in my belief that they’re good people. I think sometimes when we’re close in some way with someone who has radically changed, it alters our ability to see objectively. But just because you tolerate your dementia-suffering, racist Aunt/sister/second cousin at…

oh, I definitely believe one can be prejudiced against their own group. We see internalized misogyny, internalized racism, and internalized anti-semitism. “self-hating” jews are a thing, as are “self-hating” every group. It’s sad AF. I’m suggesting, however, that when the press talks about Roseanne, that we need to…

“Dark” is right, and thank you for saying so. Normalizing and making “light” comedy fare of violent opinions is dark dark dark. Her opinions reflect a dark shadow in our culture, and the choice by ABC to air it in the first place is darkly cynical. Dark times, and I applaud anyone making the choice to stay in the…
