Well done Emma Quangel, calling out Jezebel on their hypocrisy.

Because mental illness is not learned like hatred and racism, and unfortunately for those with mental illness, it cannot be unlearned - hatred and racism can be if the person is willing to open their mind. People with mental illnesses are far more likely to be the victim of crimes than the perpetrators. Labeling hate…

Yep. People complain about proselytizing vegetarians, but the in my own personal experience, it’s always been the other way around. All through the 80s and 90s, I was constantly having people question my choice, and telling me all the reasons why it was stupid. My religious grandparents said something about how God…

That makes sense

I totally agree with you about the criticism of his looks. It’s mean-spirited, unnecessary, and doesn’t add anything to the conversation.

AHEM:

Except that something that challenges their values isn’t what a trigger warning is. I liked the rest of what he had to say, but he got this point wrong. And I say that as someone who generally doesn’t need trigger warnings.

Yes to what you said except this:

I LOVE YOU, JOHN WATERS!!!!!!! 143637 JOHN WATERS!!!!!!!

I would have felt more embarrassed than usual if I had to keep trying my pronunciation to three different people.

There’s no way that it would take more time to have him point at a line of text on a menu than to get two managers involved to eventually decide on and approve the plan Josh came up with.

I find it strange and alarming that so many people who might approach a fairly inscrutable piece of literature with a sense of inquisitiveness—willing to analyze it and think critically about it and explore the possible meanings—are dismissing this art piece out of hand as silly, worthless, stupid, self-promotion,…

Oh, we wouldn’t want women to express themselves about their rape. Much better to keep it hidden.

Kimmy isn't annoying! At least not compared to the other characters (staggeringly low bar, I know). She is the closest thing the show had to a tolerable character.

Actually, at that time—until the mid-80s and Cher, really—all the celebs just bought dresses off the rack and did their own makeup for the Oscars. (ETA: Occasionally, a costume designer they worked with would make something up for them—like in the Edith Head studio days.) Many of them talk about it—Meryl Streep, Jodie…
