Holy shit Maaaaaark

I am glad it is going. I always thought it was unfair that garbage like xoJane (see: this article) survived while the beauty that was The Toast (see: one commenter donated a kidney to another) did not.

What say you, cheerleaders?

Uh... you know that diverse groups have diverse opinions and people get to voice them. Progressive people tend to get this. It’s not “infighting” or “eating your own” or whatever else detractors want to call it. Our diverse movement can support and respect multiple opinions at the same time - even ones individuals…
