yay! i'll happily go back to being ignored in the greys if it means no more terrible gifs everywhere :D

They don't need that for anonymous tips. They can just have an email address for that very purpose and then tipsters can use a fake hotmail account or an IP blocker to email Gawker media with whatever information they want to share.

How can we support you? What can readers/commenters do to push Gawker Media into action?

I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.

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…

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.

When my (future) husband first asked me out, and asked if there was a particular kind of restaraunt I liked, I had to lay it out to him:

The fact that she ran away from him as soon as possible and went to the police to say she'd been raped kinda makes it seem like rape to me...

Bullshit. My relationship with my daughter has never been the way you describe. The planning part is true, but that's because my wife's stress elevates to the stratosphere when we start planning something, and it predates the kid. My kid and I joke, laugh, smile, and chat far more often than we have conflicts, and…

Many people are happy or happier when developing complex, meaningful relationships with others, including their children. Others are fine being alone or with minimal socializing. That's alright too. Being alone doesn't mean being lonely.

I drastically dropped my consumption of alcohol, nothing makes you feel more shitty than waking up drunk, or hungover 2 to 3 times a night to feed and console a baby.

Honestly, I cannot tell you how amazing having kids is. Not one thing I've had to endure so far with my kid even begins to take the shine off having a child, which is just an effing laugh every single day.

I hate kids. I've hated kids since I was a kid. As I've grown up (I'm 26 now), they can be barely ok in small doses once they're old enough to talk, but as a rule I still hate them. I give them evil stares in the grocery store when the parents aren't looking. I cringe when someone on Facebook posts pictures of their…

Good call! They are Jacobs and bred mainly for fiber. The black ones are Jacob x Blue-Faced Leicester crosses and are bred for meat. It's my friend's farm and they're all well loved and cared for.

Don't worry. They get rotated to lots of different pastures.

not necessarily. Those are Jacobs (the spotted ones) and the black ones look like Romneys, and both are used for fleece as well as meat. When we had sheep, we only ate the males. We kept the females for fleece production. And actually, the last crop of lambs we had, we sold the one male we got as a breeding ram, so I…

Not even just health. Ability to control fertility is so crucially tied to women's ability to control their economic, social, and creative lives.

Whatever dude. Come back and talk to me when possibly the single most important aspect of men's health is exclusively deemed unimportant and secondary to the religious beliefs of a corporation.
