I can't stop cracking up at my desk. The jokes are hilarious, as always, but also at the tips themselves! Particularly: Read more

I loved Celeste and Jesse Forever. Even though there were some key romcom tropes — whyyyy can't there ever be a romcom without a wedding in it, why god why — the central plot was refreshingly unique, PROBABLY because a woman (Rashida Jones) wrote it! Read more

I think you're right. I was at the screening as well, and felt the same way as Jenna; the movie was entertaining, but I'm so over the "baby-obsessed woman wants to marry immature man" trope. That's not Mike Birbiglia's fault — but it's a reason why execs should greenlight more projects written, directed, and produced Read more

Aww! Thanks for thinking of me. It's okay to have a soft spot for pop music! We are multifaceted women, okay? Read more

The first few times I read it, I was half convinced she was! But I'm pretty sure she's not. I mean, remember this piece? http://www.elle.com/life-love/sex-relationships/failure-to-launch-when-beauty-fades-323090 Read more

Mmm kind of sounds like the end of yoga (the part where I always fall asleep). Read more

I'm going to start a Change.org petition to get Hale and Hearty Soups to sue her for copyright infringement. Read more

I remember hearing about some company that gave you business cards to hand out when you saw someone IRL that you thought was cute. The cards had a link to your online dating profile. So basically you would go up to someone at a bar, hand them a card that said "I think you're cute" with a link, then leave. Basically Read more

Agreed: it's of the utmost importance to teach kids to respect themselves. But I think it goes without saying that the meaning of "respect yourself" in abstinence-only education = "your virginity is a pretty, special flower and if you lose it you have no self worth!" not "treat yourself well and make sure the people Read more

I would too. Hey, if anyone has any horrifying abstinence-only education books/pamphlets: send them my way? Katie@Jezebel. I could make a fun slideshow! Read more

I know, right? I'm going to have nightmares about headless boobs following me around the office, simpering. Read more

Hi! How did you come up with the brilliant idea to parody Jeffrey Eugenides in your recent ad? Loved that. Read more

I completely agree. I don't think he should include a caveat — because the entire "human amendment platform" is ideological bullshit — but he did JUST pledge to allow abortion in cases of rape. Regardless of whether it's better for pro-choicers/sanity if he doesn't cave, how will he explain either decision to voters? Read more

Tavi's going to be giving them a piece of her mind any second now. Read more

I see your point, but I was being irreverent/looking on the bright side: dumb men and dumb women exist, and I think it's "treating people equally" to include both of each on television. (But I was mostly being irreverent.) Read more

Agreed! One of the other bullet points was about Pulp Fiction lacking relevance and, no, just because a movie came out before you were born doesn't mean you've never seen it. Read more

You can rest easy that we'll always cite our sources unless it's an emailed tip :) Read more
