Also, if I wasn't terrified of window washers, window washer buttsex would be awesome.

Until I see that become a become a major motion picture, my case still stands.

But is it as lucrative as selling a novel about a virgin who falls in love with a billionaire in a non-specific industry?

Idea: Take a picture of yourself with a box of Frosted Flakes.

PLEASE post the followup story about their puppy named Scully who is skeptical about doors that can be opened.

This is why I'm always the "uptight" girl in the group hyperventilating from fear when someone stands right next to the edge of a tall anything. Once I had a full-on panic attack because my friends and I were watching fireworks on the roof of an apartment building and some of the dudes were standing inches (like three

To me, it seems this is really indicative of the way in which it's so much harder to exist as a woman on the Internet — women have to deal with so much shit, and so much of the stuff done to ~make the 'net free for everyone~ doesn't take that fact into account at all. There was an op-ed in the Guardian about that this

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new

I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.

It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.

For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown

What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write

The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.

OH MY GOD A NEW KITCHEN? OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD

I totally read this as "Dog loses his shit over a new kitchen." I'd lose my shit over a new kitchen too.

This "really bad fanfic turning into real books" trend HAS TO STOP before my brain explodes. I wouldn't mind if it was good fanfic (and there is a lot of good fanfic out there!) but it's always this horrifically written bullshit that is like the high fructose corn syrup of reading.
