Worth it. Glad you all spoke up & they finally did something, anything.

I totally agree. When a teenager gets gun downed in the street, the response—the nitpicking shit. I don't know. I just don't know what to say but there are ways that people are denying his humanity, which in turns, erodes theirs.

This article from the NY Times is about a year old, but apparently there is an uptick in microlending institutions in poor communities (especially institutions from Southeast Asia, where microlending is common, opening up shop here in the US). These are institutions that people with bad credit can depend on, but they…

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…

The visual image of your womb, wandering around on its own, perhaps with a cup of coffee, has really changed my outlook on this day.

At pretty much every blogging job I've ever had, I've been told (by male managers) that it'd be a death sentence to moderate comments and block IP addresses, because it "shuts down discourse" and guts traffic. But no one's ever shown me any actual numbers that support that claim. Does anyone have any? Not that I think…

It's terrible to hear that commenters could potentially be fired for looking at the website due to the GIFs. While I try to be active in comments (and honestly, that's one of my favorite parts of the job), it makes me anxious to think that people could get in trouble because I am writing and sourcing links instead of…

And THIS.

Me? I'm not even allowed on the Internet - my husband generously types all my comments for me after providing me with the correct opinion. Too much Internet causes the womb to wander, don't you know.

If only we published Serious Lady Content instead of all these sloppy, whorish stories! If only we had a panel of Concerned Men who could tell us what is/isn't acceptable to post. That would keep us protected. For our own good, of course.

OH GOD I MISS TROLLPATROL. I've had this troll reply to me with porn gifs more than once and it's so irritating. It's not exactly harming my mental health because I'm sane and a grownup and realized long ago the internet isn't a safe space, but it's fucking up my valuable work procrastination schedule. Which is a…

The entire point of your post was factually inaccurate and existed only to shift attention from a real issue to a fake one. Idiot isn't hateful in that case, it's descriptive.

It seems like there's a simple solution: don't allow html in burner posts. Only text. It seems like this would be super easy.

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…

What does publishing, writing or reading articles on dumb topics have to do with not wanting to see violent porn gifs unexpectedly?

No, and fuck you. Jezebel should be able to post articles about whatever they damn well please without having to deal with rape gifs and gore porn and whatever the fuck else. Those are being used as a silencing tool, and your comment is no better.

you know, I honestly hadn't thought about what it was like for you guys to have to deal with this. I'm so sorry! I hope they do something about it. all I know is that it's been over 2-3 hours and I'm still shaking and upset. those were some awful awwwwfful images and I would hate to have to deal with removing/policing…

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…
