I will find a way to do my box reviews. While I would love if Jezebel would keep me on, I have no idea if that will be possible. I will either do my own site or find somewhere else to write for. I love doing the reviews so much. My favorite part was always talking to the readers. Follow me on Twitter (brandikirch),…

It isn’t on Jezebel or Gawker. Other outlets like The Awl are reporting, and it just takes a swift sweep of the Jezebel staff’s twitter accounts to see who got canned. Of course everyone I love (minus Maddie) got fired, but everyone we all hate is still here. (I like Bobby, but I’m not sure he’s still here).

I’m pretty horrified that it sounds suspiciously like Jezebel is going to become a gossip mag. I mean ... so much going on in that decision ... I have to wonder ... did it go like this? “Oh, you know women! They’ll love the gossip!”

Is it political? I have no idea what’s going on with this except my favorite stuff is going away. I was pretty much done with Jez and then millihelen came in and made me happy. And I’m not a Pinkham fan, but BCO Mondays had become canon.

Add that to an issue with a stupid class and then a therapy session where I was…

I love how a day after the story about the sexism at Gawker Media broke John Cook issued a layoff memo saying that Gawker is going to be about hard core politics and Jezebel is going to do more celebrity gossip and beauty articles.

Yeah, but they’re white men, and she’s a black woman, so how dare she not show gratitude and instead be all uppity, like she’s above it all. Or some racist, sexist shit like that, in all likelihood.

I can’t believe millihelen is over and Jane Marie is leaving (or worse, being pushed out). This is by far one of the best Jezebel’s sub-blog, I love, love Deep Cuts, the 24 hours Beauty Diaries, the mall makeovers stories, the talk about make-up and beauty routines, the tips and tricks...and of course the best part is…

The douchepocalypse™.

And Matt Lauer

If only Sean Penn was there too, we’d get the Holy Trinity of Douchery

Jesus. Both Charlie Sheen and Justin Bieber on Today? That’s the douchebag motherlode. The douchebag hoard of Smaug. The douchebag event horizon. The douchebag Gotterdammerung.

Let’s treat innocent people like inhuman garbage while they’re at their most vulnerable and desperate to survive.

TREAT YO SELF!

Alone time is THE BEST. As an introvert, there’s nothing as rejeuvenating than being left the hell alone for a while.

The coffee thing! I know all these budget-minded people on TV telling me how to save money and get out of debt keep saying “your coffees add up! stop buying so much coffee!”

but those are my little treats and I’ve stopped feeling guilty about buying them. Especially around this time of year because McDonalds and…

Nowhere was I arguing that the story wasn’t stupid. It’s not a Pinkhams law thing. If the lady knew there was a chance of cross contamination then she shouldn’t have eaten there. And bringing her own toaster is hilarious and absurd.

My posts are responding to commenter saying that cross contamination at that scale is…

I’ve found I have to pay attention to my introvert nature and make sure I’m getting enough alone time. Since I’ve learned that about myself, I find I have lot more fun going out!!

Uhm...actually FUCK YES.

A coworker of mine has severe celiacs disease and if she even touches her daughter’s pasta or toasts her toast in the same toaster oven she. gets. sick.

It’s a fucking allergy, it works the same way.

yeah, doesn’t pertain directly to the story, since the customer was just bat-shit crazy and not really suffering from celiac disease, but most people who actually do suffer from celiac disease (not speaking for them all, obviously) would probably rather places not offer gluten-free products when they don’t give a shit…
