I know someone who accidentally shot and killed his brother with a hunting rifle when he was 9. Yes, he was taught gun safety, but 9 year olds are unpredictable and a moment of inattention can be deadly. His brother's death has haunted him all his life. The guilt is a horrible burden.

This. I'm trying to get stoned, shovel gyoza in my gob and watch netflix and THEN THE FUCKING DOLLS HAPPEN. Never post that gif again. I will pee.

I will devour this like so much maple sugar snow candy.

I believe this style is called the "Cousin Oliver".

Mrs. Doubtfire: [reading a letter] "Dear Mrs. Doubtfire, two months ago, my mom and dad decided to separate. Now they live in different houses. My brother Andrew says that we aren't to be a family anymore. Is this true? Did I lose my family? Is there anything I can do to get my parents back together? Sincerely, …

It always feel like such a punch to the gut when mental illness takes another life.

R.I.P. and thank you for 30 years of laughter in my family.

This is the anniversary of the day my aunt killed herself. The three amazing kids she left behind were just posting about suicide prevention and mental illness understanding on Facebook today.

It sucks. It sucks for everyone. I wish more people got this, I wish there were more understanding. I wish this didn't happen.

If a person's success in life can be measured by how many people they helped to keep going no matter what by bringing laughter to their hearts and reminding them of the sheer joy of living, then I have to say: hands down, Mr. Robin Williams, you won. Thank you for all the times you touched my heart and made me keep…

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…

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…

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.

This brings me SO much joy. The show was flawed, of course, but I still love it. (Notice I stopped at the show, because as far as I'm concerned, the movies do not exist.)

She obviously was looking to file this lawsuit when she applied for the job. This is someone (more likely an organization funding her) looking for a lawsuit to push their agenda.

I can feel the self esteem of many men deflating as we speak.
