ah, punch, I feel you. For me, it’s been the Nate Parker bullshit that really dragged me this week. But also, Jez has always been such a community of buddies but right now, every article is plagued with disgusting trolls and any benign comment I make is lashed back with hateful misogyny. When these already-depressing

Thank god someone is standing up to the PC police! Conversations about rape, race and religion have started to get way to civilized. I mean, I can’t tell you guys how grateful I am that all the Gawker trolls have invaded our ‘safe space’ here at Jezebel to shine a light on these issues. We really were trapped in an

This only looks scary because it combines my top three fears: answering a phone without caller ID, unexpected hair in my mouth and a malfunctioning tv on a long flight.

I remember seeing The Ring in the theater and when the first dead face appeared, people literally dove under their seats. When I told my mom about it, she laughed because she’d had the exact same experience when she saw The Exorcist and said people also did that during Psycho in the 60's. Though both those movies are

I’m so glad you mentioned this - to me, that is the most upsetting element of this whole rollercoaster. The first thing I read about this movie was a defensive piece about Gabrielle Union (an actress I have SUCH respect for) having a brutal rape scene but no lines. I remember Turner said something about how it

The people behind her sitting by (and apparently applauding??), letting a fully clothed, armed man literally force a vulnerable woman to publically strip are the most vile part of this image. I’m so disgusted at the hypocrisy and entitlement displayed here, I can’t imagine how a person who already resents the “good

I adore her music and am tickled to know this insider information - thank you!

yep, same issues. I’ve assumed it’s the engineers being reshuffled but what if it’s a deliberate sabotage in order to weaken the product before the Univision overhaul? What if it’s a secret message to all of us that things are going down behind the scenes and we should get out while we still can?

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

YES. My sister and I love this show and we always groan at her scenes. She’s a wooden actress and her character is blaaaaaaand.

That’s a good point, and I totally appreciate how hard social services work to make sure it stays that way so struggling families can reunite. It’s just so scary this woman was so close to getting herself hired in another caretaking role. Thankfully, people like her and the mother in this article are outliers and as

“MISSING KIDS ARE SAD OKAY?!?!”*

I agree, though for me it was the writing of her character that was so frustrating. Maybe she could have played it with a little more chill but most of her lines and motivations for actions come from ‘paranoid mom’ and don’t reflect the full range of emotions a parent would have in that situation. If any of the other

Anne Shirley, Queen of the North

Oh my god. How horrifying. I’ve encountered Munchausen by Proxy once before, when the manager of my mom’s store was finally exposed. At first, she was a totally charming person who was super good at her job. And we all felt terrible for her because her 5 year old son was constantly sick or recovering from something.

I get why they are salty though - I also hate it when my mom screens my calls.

This whole article reminds me of...

totally agree. Anna is one of my favorite writers over here but Hillary Clinton does not owe Jezebel anything. This is a weird, entitled take on what should be a pretty cut-and-dry situation. Jez doesn’t like Hillary and hasn’t supported her (even when they do, they are begrudging) and she doesn’t want to be

I disagree that this is a harmless cause - shaming people who watch porn to the point that they hate themselves and repress their sexual urges can be really dangerous. This organization she’s advocating for wants people to replace their interest in porn with prayer (though they claim not to be a religious movement,
