“The consumption of food was a sacrament of success. A man who carried a great stomach before him was thought to be in his prime. Women went into hospitals to die of burst bladders, collapsed lungs, overtaxed hearts and meningitis of the spine. There was a heavy traffic to the spas and sulphur springs, where the…

It is a shame that too many people on the wrong side of history will never really get their comeuppance (I am an athiest and don’t believe in karma; bite me. I am also using “karma” technically incorrectly but I’m not a Sanskrit scholar so fuck it).

nah it’s disgusting bye

This is definitely the wrong post to discuss this but... in case the day comes and Jez is shut down I have launched: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jezebelians/

All of these people are simply finding their own ways to leverage the monarchy to achieve their own goals, whatever they may be. Which is probably what any of us would do if we had intentionally put ourselves in a similar position, as they have, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are basically doing business.

The Royal family is about as modern as the Pope is cool. All William and Harry did differently was pick their own wives. Those wives completely transformed their lives to fit into royalty while the men did nothing to change theirs. So THAT didn’t really change.

The idea of a monarchy at all is archaic so all of that wealth, prestige and privilege that was accumilated for doing nothing should be rejected if they really want to modernize anything.

I used to get local TV anchors coming to me for makeup help when I worked at Sephora. One guy had the perpetual sunburn that Trump suffers from, and I put him in a matte powder that evened him out. His skin texture wasn’t so bad though, and compared to him, Trump looks like he has some rosacea paired with tanning bed…

You have a good sister. And yea, I always hate how wedding makeup looks but then you see the photos and its like ohhhh I get it now.

Here’s what I tell the politicians I work for, which is coincidentally the same thing my sister told me before my wedding.

I LOVE this time of year —- love reading everyone’s stories!

This one is not a personal story but happened to a friend of mine. I believe it to be 100% true because she is not the type of person to invent stories, especially not involving her children.

I did my culinary externship at a B&B. We constantly attributed weirdness to “Fred” the ghost. Our owner HATED it; he didn’t want to be flooded with guests only there to suss out our hauntings, as we were a James Beard award winning restaurant that thrived on leaf peepers and winter ski vacation rentals. But he…

In 2008, I was a senior in college and moved to a small town north of Orlando for an internship. I lived alone in an apartment provided by my employer, and was a bit uneasy there from the time I moved in. I especially got creepy vibes from my en suite bathroom, and barely ever went in there, since the apartment was a…

I am a very rational and skeptical atheist, but what I’m about to tell you still gives me goosebumps. I swear this is 100% true.

This happened over a decade ago, back in undergrad. I was part of a group that did computer maintenance for students and monitored a computer lab as part of a volunteer group, which resulted in perks like better housing and so on. The college itself was decently old, founded in central nowhere Pennsylvania back in the…

OMGGGGG !!! Best story ever ( although I am very late ) but I have a story of my own and here it goes:

There is a ghost in my house. Pretty simple thing to say right?

I know I’m extremely late to this, but I made an account for the sole purpose of finally being able to talk about the most frightening thing I have ever experienced, and I’m going to accomplish that whether or not anyone will read it.
