Jezebel has a very casual relationship with the English language and advanced vocabulary and probably only used the word "random" because "weak sauce" had already been used elsewhere today for a triple-word score.

"...but because of factors out of our control. These factors have mostly to do with what goes into our food and how it's marketed to us."

Actually this is a case of you not getting it. Where are you an "art minor" at, Full Sail University? Even there you should have learned that Pollock's contribution to the development of modernism – action painting, the horizontal canvas, et. al. – was a significant move of the needle in conceptual flatness. Don't…

Totally agree with all you've said. This woman wouldn't have fit in there, and would have been unhappy, and probably not made it to tenure.

Jawbreaker.

I really think there needs to be a 10-year moratorium on assigning "Orientalism" in undergraduate courses.

Really? You know "a lot" of women of color PhDs who teach Chicana studies? How many can there be, in global academia?

It's only natural as Jezebel devolves that it becomes more like MySpace. I've always thought that one of the things that plowed MySpace under was that you often couldn't prevent someone's crappy Thievery Corporation, Tori Amos, or worse, from blasting out at you upon contact.

I commented on your post as well last week. I hope you take this second comment in the sense it is intended, which is to discourage you from thinking you are going on to a PhD program.

I think the person means something along the lines of "giving up the ghost" but apparently writing in the language of the hosting institution is no longer a requirement for Jezebel staff writers. I'm sorry to keep harping on this but there are so many qualified journalists out of work not to mention talented writers…

Isha Aran ... really got the Lindy West voice down! All this on behalf of Jezebel, of course, ostensibly for women...

I hate advice columns for white girl problems but that's not what the columnist said. People can easily find it on Slate.com, so look yourselves.

Actually you do sound like a bitch. Your now-ex friend is right. What's it to you if you already have the notes taken?

You're not alone. She's horrible for all the reasons the commenter just below (it'll turn up someplace else on Kinja but see Diggory). It's a weird kind of racism/sexism not to be "able" to criticize her (see: Bobby Jindal).

Spoken like a true Virgo.

After reading the Peter Singer Q&A on Gawker I glanced at the headlines on the adjacent site I've vowed not to look too closely at, and I saw this story about animals, which, even though the headline itself gave me little hope, I couldn't resist feeling curious about.
