I’m glad it’s not just me. I’m sick and not firing on all cylinders so thanks for confirming that I’m not crazy!

Wait, that doesn’t make sense. 98% of black people who voted were women? Or did 98% of black women voters vote for Jones? Those are two different things and I’m pretty certain that more than 2% of black men voted for Jones.

Thank you for breaking it down so expertly and with sources. I’m so exhausted from explaining this stuff so thank you for taking it on.

Wasn’t he a Gawker dude from way back?

I honestly wouldn’t be able to take a young trendy person seriously in those.

Jesus, I hope not.

It’s Shonda Rhimes, not Rhymes.

I’m pretty certain most of us in this thread aren’t talking about one-off commenters or commenters who only come over on posts that are cross-posted elsewhere. There’s a hardcore subset of Jezebel commenters who are men who take over almost every post, not even just cross-posted ones.

Interesting... I was unaware of that. Thank you for shedding some light on this.

I take my tiny joy in not starring the commenters who take up the most space.

SAME HERE! I’ll have a slow day and click on a just-posted article and by the time I finish skimming it and get to the comments, one of those assholes has already posted a Hot Taek or a long-ass comment about their life! That’s how I know they don’t fucking read before they comment, which somehow makes me more angry…

Thanks! And you’re probably right, unfortunately. It’s amazing to me that so many men seem to never question whether or not we need their opinions on anything. I constantly ask myself if I really need to add my voice to articles even for spaces that are centered on my experiences, so how do they never do that kind of…

This is why I don’t comment anymore. Every time I see a few usernames I want to scream at them to shut the fuck up and listen for once in their goddamn lives, but I don’t want to be re-grayed for starting shit. If you’re a dude who comments repeatedly on almost every post and are reading this right now: please know…

The flu shot suuucked for me so good to know but also booo.

I used to take Ativan before blood draws and it helps SO SO MUCH. I did and am doing exposure therapy and that has been hugely helpful. My needle phobia was so bad that my parents gave up vaccinating me around age 12 and it would take my dad plus two phlebotomists holding me down to stop me from taking a swing at the…

They aren’t recommending the nasal vaccine this year, just like the last several years. The CDC/whomever makes the shot needs to figure that shit out because my needlephobic ass would love to not be a disease vector, but I also don’t want to have embarrassing phobic reactions that can sometimes leave me off kilter and…

I’m severely needle-phobic (got my first shot in 10 years this year for the flu shot but it was a baaaaaad experience) but I got whooping cough six years ago. So I’m probably fine to postpone the TDAP for three more years, right? I got whooping cough 16 years ago so it seems that each instance buys me ten years of…

Tucking that bit of info into the back of my brain. I’m in a legal state but I’d love to chat weed with someone at Gally and get cool artwork out of it.

My sincerest thank you, SP&A.

I think that everyone has to decide for themselves how much employment instability is tolerable or desirable for them. Some people would be totally fine with knowing that there’s a good chance that they wouldn’t have a job tomorrow. I realized that I’m not one of those people. I’ll take a somewhat lower salary for a…
