I read the August Vogue article about her. It described the aesthetic of Preserve as sharing the "Spooky beauty" look of places like "New Orleans and Savannah." As a New Orleans-expat, that is a massive insult to New Orleans, Savannah, Spooky, and Beauty.

HAVE MY PARENTS BEEN LYING TO ME ALL THIS TIME?

In St. Louis, if you're black and you're driving in Ladue, Chesterfield, Clayton, Town and Country, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, or any number of West County suburbs, you're liable to be pulled over for driving while black.

You tend to nitpick these stories because for you, semantic issues seem more important than the real problem of people of color—include teenagers— being gunned down in a use of excessive force and the cops get away with it. THIS—killing of POC is the real problem. Criminalizing their behavior, incarcerating them

My older, adult sister, and I were driving through Texas. My sister had fallen asleep for a while. I had stopped at a Dairy Queen for dinner and she woke up as I pulled in. I went to the bathroom while she waited in line. I got back and walked up to her at the counter, just as this exchange happened.

I'm in the middle of this company tech thing, but I want to say this: this is exactly the right thing to do when people aren't paying proper attention to a real problem; it's not something I completely ignored but I obviously didn't give it proper attention, and I'm sorry about that; give me about 24-48 hours to

I'll be frank: I've been doing a lot of the behind the scenes complaining about this from my end because that's the only thing I can do. As some of you might know, I started out as a mod and worked my way up. I've seen a lot of shit, even with the old system in place (and not just from one site - I modded all the

Based on how the writers are ranked, it seems unique new visitors is the key metric, which we can't influence. Though I suppose if enough of us regulars left they'd notice.

Welp, looks like I won't be visiting the other Gawker sites until they make a statement acknowledging they're doing something about this. That's about 20-30 UVs a day from me, Gawker higher ups. Get your shit together. I can live without Deadspin if I have to if it makes a small point.

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

Wow. She is still breathtakingly beautiful.

So, no other posts on any site or Kinja blog except one other one about the Washington team name, and the username "WisdomAndTruth." Hello Washington PR intern (or Tony Wyllie)!

I think you misread the story. Most people sext whenever they go to the store called Tuesday Morning. They see a decorative garden statue and get so turned on at the low low prices that they just have to take a naughty pic and text it to someone.

I'm in my 30s. I will be honest, I still struggle with depression that I was diagnosed with at 14. I'm happily medicated, but off meds I am a disaster. Someday I'll be perfect though, right? That's what I tell myself.

25 was my worst year outside of my early teen depression years. I seriously almost destroyed my entire life and everything that I had worked so hard for. I started to see some major improvements around 27.

Mine is all but gone. And I know what will trigger a downward spiral. I gained a sense of empowerment as I aged with depression which has made all the difference in the world.

I'm picturing Rocker talking in Kenny Powers's voice, because Kenny Powers would definitely say, "Must have been a bad ass baby."
