Hi y’all can we all stop bringing trolls out of the greys and getting into inane arguments that never go anywhere and don’t elucidate anything? There’s plenty of other sites to do that on, how’s about we try and keep the level of discourse at Jez at a somewhat intelligent level.

Hey Jezzies! Hope you are all well tonight!

A traitor to the country is a Great American according to Mississippi.

Oh. For real? Great American’s Day? Between this and Trump disrepecting John Lewis on Twitter, I have got a full day of teaching to do. Here I thought I could enjoy my day off but America continues to demonstrate it needs to be schooled.

If you are an african american, asian, or any non-white passing minority you need to have one of these.

Dashcams are important.* If you can get one that can link to a cellphone for upload to the cloud, even better.

Side note: Married people use contraception too. People act like every woman on the pill is a literal prostitute.

It felt very REAL, the opposite of how a lot of cameras into famous people’s lives ends up being. (Looking at you, Kardashians). It…

My sister and I argue about this all the time. We grew up fairly lower middle-class, but our grandparents were always there to buy new tires or help my mom with grocery money.

Oh my god YES. I hear people talking about how their parents are giving them $20K for a wedding, or $30K for a down payment on a home, or paying for their college tuition entirely. Must be really fucking nice.
