I'd like to add that while I do love Jez I have been very disappointed with how they've been telling Muslim/Arab/South Asian women's stories as of late. Can you guys get a Desi or something on the editorial staff please?
I don't know why I even take the bait with these things. You know how missing white women are disproportionately reported on? That's kinda like marital violence and Muslims. (By the way, arranged marriage is FAR from a purely Muslim phenomenon.)

Ah, Joan Didion. I think she is a total egomaniacal bitch, but has earned the right to be so. Sometimes her writing disgusts me (Has anyone read Salvador? It is difficult for me to explain exactly what I found so offensive, but the self-centered, jaded nonchalance did not mesh will with the story of a foreign…
Oh wow.
568,415 but I basically did this instead of write my thesis last semester and geography is one of the few types of information I have any sort of memory for (also, calorie counting!). West Africa just loves to bend me over and fuck me in the ass though no matter how often I play.
Also, my therapist told me that because I'm inclined toward alcoholism that I need to limit myself to two drinks in one sitting and if I start being unable to control myself and go for the third then I should start worrying. We don't see each other any more.
The thinnest I've ever been has always coincided with when I've been drinking the most. But depression induced drunkorexia is probably an outlier in this study.
Also, can we talk about how girls are apparently learning from a young age that guys just "can't help themselves" if the woman is pretty enough? I <3 rape culture.
This makes me realize what a horny slut I was. Although I had weird guilt about it, I started masturbating when I was like 7 or something. I don't really get how other women also didn't just stumble upon this.
Gah! I would have expected better of Carla! I loved her albums in high school.
Considering my ADD diagnosis, proclivity to binge drinking, AND my 1986 birth date I should really be getting laid a lot more than I am.
Okay so I thought the story that was actually attached to this picture (The King of Sentences [www.newyorker.com]) was even douchier than the Diaz one. It sounds like my sick 15 year old fantasy of what I imagined life to be like among the young NYC literati. And then I grew up and realized no one is like that and…
I think I dated HUMANS! TO THE DEATH!. A couple times. Where can I meet happy dudes?
I think Kathy Griffin and I are the same person, which both delights and horrifies me. I think I have that conversation with some drunk dude at least once a fortnight.
