Again, those pieces take longer, and this is a website that needs to more than just a piece every few days for its authors to get the traffic it needs to stay afloat. Every site that makes its money on traffic and not subscribers needs its share of filler content.  You can’t possibly be so dense you can’t understand…

The girl just wrote a personal essay about how she barely had enough money to pay for the bare necessities *before* her husband got laid off, and you thought it was a great opportunity to attack how she makes a living. It doesn’t matter that Joan is not your friend or that this is not her personal essay, because…

Alllrriiigggghhhttttt now!!!! Cannot wait for the Artists’ body of work condensed to say, a graphic novel so we all can share and expose the younguns’ to what is possible outside the lines (!) Sorry, artists’ humor. But seriously having been brought up around classic comic books and artwork in general it has been…

I love it! Congrats to Liz for inclusion into this esteemed publication; an accomplishment even if she wasn’t the first.

This piece was specifically about how she has to pay the bills. 

Your lives make me smile. The story of two people that are fearless enough to live their lives on their own terms is inspiring. My regrets at 63 are from the times I was afraid to be what I wanted to be. You are who you want to be and that is more important than where you want to be. When you look back at your life…

Seriously. Kicking someone who’s clearly down in the guise of praise is gross. Especially since Joan clearly needs all of the other writing assignments to get by. These sort of pieces take more time than an aggregated gossip column. She can’t make a living on them alone, at least not at this phase of her career. 

Maybe you should stop writing compliments -- you’re bad at it.

Jesus, Joan. This is both the most beautiful and most heartbreaking thing I’ve read in a long time.

Thank you and bless you for providing this information, especially the NCADV hotline which is available 24/7. Abusive people will use any excuse to isolate, threaten, batter or sexually violate partners, children or anyone that they have access to. Their behaviors will only be exacerbated by the circumstances the…

Talked to a friend that is a detective in NJ. Said he has seen a spike since the self quarantine began. I fear for the women and the children as they he said shelters that normally help are closed.

The majority of the time people are standing outside and can keep a safe distance from others, and machines are being wiped down constantly. This should further prove we need mail in voting, or absentee voting extended, but it’s better for the economy and the state of the country if we get the nomination determined as…

This is what I’m afraid of. He would 100% use this pandemic as a Putin-style back door to extend his “presidency”.

Are you really sure you’re ok with ... postponing elections due to coronavirus?

This is part of the reason I never liked Bernie. Have the grace to bow out so we can start in on Trump. I just don’t understand why this man would want to sabotage the Democratic party again.....oh, but I do understand, HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT. He doesn’t care about a party that he doesn’t belong too. Bernie’s proposed…

Nope. He was losing by even more at this point in 2016. This is his MO.

Bernie refusing to bow out of a race he knows he’s not going to win? Where have I heard that one before?

Bernie would have gotten more respect had he bowed out, today and told the DNC to shut down the remaining primaries in light of the Coronavirus pandemic...but nah, Bernie don’t care about that shit...

As Meghan and Harry Wrap Up Royal Duties, MSNBC Guest Reminds Everyone Why They’re Leaving in the First Place

You just posted this while I was singing my original song, “Oh Trump, There is No Bronzer in Hell.” True story.
