Poopo hams! My laptop died a horrible flickering death this morning so this is going to just be a quick post viaa my phone. Most of you have probably heard that BlogHer was acquired by (or merging with, depending on the source) that SheKnows company. I'm already getting emails from people with news of staff layoffs which are supposed to continue through Christmas and similar discussion is happening in the BlogHer forum thread. So hooray for the BlogHer founders, who can now probably buy a small island somewhere from the money they just made off the backs of a bunch...

Ashlina Kaposta, "The Decorista", evidently had a bad experience with a moving company. Rather than chalk it up as an object lesson in researching companies before you hire them, Ashlina decided to take to instagram and call for America to close its borders. Maybe I don't love my furniture like Ashlina...but this just seems like a really extreme reaction to getting robbed by a moving company. Do we really need to end immigration because some brat in Dallas lost her couch?

Nearly two years after announcing her impending divorce, Heather Armstrong, don't call her a mommy blogger, is vaguegramming about her custody status. In a post Saturday she called herself a full-time single parent - making commenters ask "what about Jon?" (more…)

Jessica Quirk, used to have a successful style blog, went into the hospital a week ago suffering from mastitis. The situation apparently turned serious a few days later. UPDATE: I just got out of surgery to have an abscess drained that formed after the antibiotics caused the infection to coalesce. In pain but hopefully will be better soon. Messica has now left the hospital and is recovering at home.

Karen Alpert, known as "Baby Sideburns" in the mommy blogging circle jerk, has joined the club of idiot bloggers who film themselves while driving. To the tune of "Shake It Off" Karen screeches made up lyrics expressing her joy at being in the car alone. Even setting aside how tired I am of that idiotic song, this video is really ridiculous. When are bloggers going to stop filming themselves while they drive? This isn't cute, people. Fatal accidents have occurred because of this need for selfies and videos while operating a vehicle, and bloggers are promoting this behavior as totally...

In case you've been wondering what Kayla and Checkers, formerly homeless by choice, have been up to, Facebook has provided an update. Hi everyone! I am having a dilemma finding a midwife or OBGYN that will allow me to do a VBA2C in my area...I really would just like to find someone who will support me and at least give me a chance for a trial of labor. Yes, it seems Kayla is pregnant again. Though her tumblr appears to have been abandoned her Facebook shows a family that seems well fed and clean, so good for them.

Monica Bielanko, the Girl Who Overshares, and her husband of ten years are divorcing. He filed sometime last week, abruptly whipping the white papers from the bowels of his Honda and proffering them for me to sign, had a pen at the ready and everything, like some slick music exec trying to get the next big thing to sign on the dotted line. The couple separated 7 months ago and have since been basically bragging about how they are doing marital breakups correctly. Now Monica seems to be singing a different tune, claiming the past few months have been filled...

Roxy Turtle, runs an Anthro fansite, seems to be having an issue with RewardStyle. Apparently she's been having having tracking issues with her affiliate links - and she claims that while RewardStyle was initially helpful they have not only closed her complaint, they became intimidating when she responded she would not let this drop. Unfortunately, the relationship with RewardStyle seems to be taking a nosedive...I've been getting emails from a RewardStyle Vice President that feel threatening. Retaliatory. Saying "all I want is to understand what happened and get a promise that it won't happen again", Roxy went into Mistreated Little Person...

Ashley, forever, is finally speaking out against all the evil women out there who don't see the big red "Property Of" stamp on her husband's face, and dare to have a crush on him. A female friend had e-mailed him saying that a friend of hers had a crush on him...it was just a harmless message, right? No.  It’s not harmless...That treacherous Jezebel!  I have a problem with it.  I have a serious problem with it. Ashley then provides a list of reasons why your crush on her husband is terrible and awful and you're a bad person who should feel bad. The...

Looks like Jon is having a fun Sunday, if not a very smart one. Not sure documenting yourself driving around with open booze is the best way to celebrate a wedding, but hey, you do you. Maybe Cecily can jump in and high five them for sticking it to the DUI checkpoint man.

Natalie Holbrook, she's from Brooklyn, has been trying to make a minimalist 'capsule' wardrobe thing happen. She apparently thinks a pared down wardrobe collection will...honestly I'm not sure why she's doing it, other than maybe an excuse to shove some rstyle links up our noses. But don't you dare think for one second that it should be easy for a stay at home wife married to a six figure salary of a man to figure out which items should be included in her amazing minimalist hanging-on-display collection. My problem isn't in simplifying a look, it's in simplifying my options. I...

Bleubird, instagram copycat extraordinaire, is still copycatting on instagram. It looks like after single white female-ing Drew Barrymore and Taza, James has moved on to Denise. Creeper alert! Why can't she come up with her own instagram ideas already?

The Feminist Breeder, strong black woman, let her son run off during a tantrum. Jules got mad because Jolene drank his juice so he ran away. Like for real, ran away. The cops came to our door because someone found him a mile away at the AutoZone. We thought he had just gone to our neighbor's house. She was apparently unaware of her son's whereabouts until the police showed up at her door. Saying "I mean, he's 6. It's not like my 3 yr old wandered off", she explained it wasn't her son's disappearance that upset her; she was more...

Jordan Reid, ice cream outfit stylist, has announced she and her Glamily will be moving out to the land of Ebay. We’re moving to California, to San Francisco’s South Bay. For good, this time. When Kendrick’s internship ended, his company made him a post-graduation job offer, and last week he accepted. And so next spring he will graduate, and we will pack up everything we own, and then we will pile our dogs and our kids into a rented RV...And when the drive comes to an end, we’ll pull into the driveway of some as-yet-unknown house or apartment, and we’ll start a whole new life...

After returning from their month long break, Young House Love has announced they will be moving on from the blog. e’re immensely thankful not only for your support and kind comments, but also for helping put words to some of the things that we had been feeling for some time. And while the last month hasn’t been enough time to fill in all of the blanks about our future (heck, when are life’s blanks ever clearly filled in?) it has made one thing pretty obvious to us: after seven awesome years of sharing our home and our life, it’s time...

Sally McGraw, Minnesota's resident 'style expert', is trying yet again to tie the state of your life and emotional well-being to your clothing choices. Asking if we've noticed "most people are unhappy" Sally then launches into a TL;DR, the crux of which seems to be that real life change is hard - so you should just try a new outfit instead! If you’re feeling constantly restless, dissatisfied, and envious of others, change your look. Changes to career, relationships, geography, and finance may have huge, terrifying repercussions, mainly because those changes involve other people. But changing your look is singular, self-contained, all...

The Marlboro Woman, the snark and recap site focused on The Pioneer Woman, is no longer a public space.

Jordan Reid, the division by zero of lifestyle blogging, has treated us to her latest wtf outfit. Friday night and the dancing shoes are ON. (Totally kidding; our plans are to go to Coldstone.) Yes folks, this is how a 33 year old suburban mother of two winds up dressing for October trips to the ice cream shop when she's balls deep in lifestyle blogging. How delightful.

Dodai Stewart, longtime staffer at Jezebel, is apparently joining the staff exodus. It seems she will be moving to Fusion. No word yet on what Dodai's possible position might be. Dodai has been at Jezebel so long it's basically her identity. Congrats to Dodai if she's getting out before Jezebel goes any further down the crapper than it already has in the last 3 weeks. ETA: She's apparently going to be the "Director of Culture Coverage" at Fusion, whatever that means.

Clare, Fitting In All The WTFs, is once again posting things she really has no place posting. This time it was a notebook filled with what appears to be filled with patient information. After some back and forth with commenters in which she tried to assure people it was fine and not at all a violation of patient privacy to post their names and test results to the internet because she made it sort of blurry now you guys, Clare eventually buhleted the photo. This isn't the first time Clarebear has used other humans for content - it was this...
