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

Yes, and thank you for your work, by the way, I can't imagine it is easy. I have said countless times, I have been commenting on Jez since it's inception, formerly under another (starred) name (that once got Comment Of the Day, NBD) and have lost that account, lived in the gray comments netherworld, and I would…
Was the trollpatrol also responsible for reporting posts for disemvoweling? God, I miss that, too. Or should I say: Gd mss tht.
Or they're refusing to address the somewhat unique position a progressive women's website has on the Internet. Women aren't general interests that can be treated like "cars" or "sports."
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…
I use to go to other sites and read the comments and think "thank goodness Jezebel is not like that." The previous systems that use to be in place that promoted and encouraged quality commenting really made a difference. It is still not quite as bad as other places but I don't really see as much of a difference…
Wow, thank you guys so much for writing this. To be honest, the mods have been dealing with this on and off for years. It's never been as bad as this. But back when we had main page abilities, we were able to remove the content alongside authors and tech. It helped protect our readers, our writers, everyone. It's…
Working at Gawker Media is a dream job for many of the women on staff here at Jezebel. This is a place that takes…
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.
TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF, BLESSINGS.
As someone of faith (I know, it's rare. It's a freaking Jesus unicorn) I have to say I'm SO ecstatic to see Driscoll forced out. This guy was an embarrassment and incredibly dangerous to so many people that crossed his path. Good on Acts 29 for removing him.
I have never been happier since I switched to boy shorts and hip-hugger panties. You can still find them in sexy styles, and the comfort level is through the roof. Plus, no shit stains.
Sure. Those are all great reasons why people should stop having barn weddings. Really. But lets talk about the real reason people need to cut it the fuck out with barn weddings: mosquitos. Seriously. Has anyone ever gone to a rustic outdoor wedding and not gone home at the end of the night, take your fancy outfit off,…
I'd like to feel something about this, but honestly... this is so low on the list of "reasons Wal*Mart is a bag of dicks" that it's hard to feel anything.
I love how pragmatic she is about going the moon and that she's accepted that "..Go to school a long time" is a requirement!! This kid is awesome!!
Realism is a good thing and who needs colors?? :) And hey, as long as she's committed and knows she's going to be at school for a long time :)
I'm 23 weeks with my first baby so my hormones made me immediately tear up when I read this. I just know my little girl will be exactly the same.
