Well I basically said “Wikipedia as my home page?! No! Your whole article is wrong!” Commenters have been grayed for less and I really don’t want to go back to the grays. I suspect it has to do with my pathological desire to be liked...

Aww, my pleasure! I’m happy to illuminate when I can. The site’s based on a cool idea that I find awesome in theory—anyone can edit! do you know a lot about something? collect your sources, go ahead and write about it, teach the world!—it’s just that the execution is flawed.

Basically almost all of the persons who volunteer as editors of Wikipedia are men. 90% of them are men. This has led to a lot of relatively lavish, detailed articles about men who have made minor achievements, while women who have made major achievements have been neglected or ignored.

Has Wikipedia taken measures to combat that sucky sexism problem? It wouldn’t be a very peaceful homepage for those of us continually disgruntled by such things.

You look amazeballs!

They banned Heroes of Might and Magic!? Those assholes!

This writing. It makes me feel so good about my writing!

I see what you did there.

WHY WOULD YOU DUCT TAPE OUR BUTTCHEEKS?!

Creating shadows and angles with powder, and adding facial hair can make a huge difference (I like actual facial hair, as in a fake beard dyed to my hair color, attached imperfectly to my face with double-sided boob tape because spirit gum suuuucks), but imo the biggest thing is eyebrow penciling-in masculine-looking…

Can I just say, god those women are awesome. The people sitting around them, not so much. But good on the speakers and on the people recording. This kind of thing gives me (desperately needed) hope.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but am, that there are multiple pictures of children eating giant spiders in this comment section. I can’t really call whether they’re real or ‘shopped because frankly, I don’t want to examine them long enough to tell.

These are straight up hilarious. Damn. Terrible humor fail on Jez’ part, on the other hand, there’s the whole Poe’s Law thing, so idk. But these are great, and you get a free taco and my love.

(Break it’s legs!)

They’d whine, but they wouldn’t move. These are multi-millionaires who pay millions to keep empty apartments on hand 11 months of the year.

Can I put in a plug for banking with Aspiration? It’s a progressive bank in the model of Credo Mobile (the progressive cell phone company), and they offer free checking where you are invited to pay either what you feel is fair or nothing at all. 10% of the bank’s earnings to go charity, they will reimburse you any…

Your comment seemed normal enough until the part where you believe Bernie Sanders is the kind of dude who would key your car. What the what? Is that you, Ken M?

I feel like—whatever works. Whatever we need to do really.

Good comment.

Just a heads-up, I need to tell you that you’re amazing for fighting this fight in the internet trenches with these idiots/assholes/trolls. Rock on. <3
