It’s like a good episode of Southern Charm!

Swear to Dog.

So, I skyped with my dad last week and asked him how my Sister is doing. (I live abroad)

The video shows a young man in bright green shorts briefly fending off two attackers in button-downs

Oh this is normal. As someone who lives in Louisville and leaves every Derby week, this is totally normal. Most people are drunk by 10am. School is out for fucking gambling. And these douches arnt even like the rich snotty douches. This is the in field. Meaning they can't afford seats inside of Churchill Downs. This…

Oh, men. So fragile.

Seeing this gives me the shivers, because these are the sort of guys I was totally into in my high school years/definitely owned some pastel clothing. Yikes. Glad I got to college and realized I should run in the other direction... My tattoos and piercings are much happier than these people :)

The first rule of Fight Club, you preppy assholes...

Whatever it is that makes you take it well we all appreciate it. I’ve seen in the past how badly some authors take any disagreement with their piece or criticisms to the point of graying regular commenters. Glad to see a writer take it so well and respectfully.

“WHAT’S THAT SAY? I CAN’T READ!”

All these “intermittent house calls from the police over violent domestic disputes.” Will we ever live in a world where police take domestic violence seriously? Before it escalates enough to kill someone? It seems like most of the senseless murders we hear about (at offices, malls, homes, anywhere, affecting anyone)…

You’re probably right, no one would wise crack about this if it was done to a woman.

I think I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but I wanted to pop in with a thought about mental illness.

No worries. I know a lot of professionals who deal with stuff I can’t imagine dealing with on a daily basis, as part of their jobs. And some of their ways of dealing with that daily reality the average Jezebel reader might well find shocking or callous. And they’d probably agree, out of context. But there you are.

Your username has never been so apt.

Thank you, sincerely. Of course it’s an awful story—but in a way, I thought it’d be a little more digestible if humor was lightly employed as an entry point.

You do realize this is the same website that mocked an elderly Asian man who had a psychotic episode, and then the next day praised Cara Delvigne for her bravery in openly discussing her battle with depression ...

Thank you! I think it’s a mix of having taken fiction writing workshops and being technically a British citizen, haha.

But seriously, thank you.

I got it, and totally understand. Sometimes shit’s just so crazy we gotta crack a little wise, lest we lose our humanity. <3

Well, I don’t mean to be crass, but with the name “Horst Hans Henkels,” he’s a snack that practically markets itself!
