Raven, expert on men, is doing what many women do this time of year - striving to get that perfect "bikini body". She has several bathing suit focused activities looming in the next month: Which means I need to be skinny, like, yesterday. I know, I know...it's "politically correct" to say I "want to be healthy." Eff that. I want to be effing skinny. And to that end, she has posted a brilliant plan to get into clavicle popping shape: ...I just don't have time to do it the so-called "healthy" way. So this is my plan... One protein shake,...

Following in the footsteps of Healthy Alternative - whose blog was supposedly jacked by her boyfriend last week - Isaac allegedly joined in the latest way to communicate with the women in your life by hijacking ex-girlfriend Jessica's facebook. (click to enlarge - please note the text is very graphic) At the time of this post, it appears Jessica has now deleted the post from her timeline, but sources say the text is still on Isaac's. Seriously what is with men these days thinking it's ok to just take over someone's blog or social media in order to shame women?...

Cecily Kellogg, of "polarizing hair" fame, was at the Mom 2.0 summit this weekend. While there she sent out this tweet, inviting attendees to come find her in exchange for free product: The problem is, Diva Cup is not a Mom 2.0 sponsor - and Mom 2.0 has rules about that: The entire Mom 2.0 Summit space is reserved for official sponsors who support the Mom 2.0 Summit. These individuals have earned the right to be represented properly, respectfully, and exclusively throughout the venue during the event. Please honor the Mom 2.0 Summit, its sponsors and attendees by honoring this. In fact, Cecily...

Healthy Alternative, some HLB tumblr, has a new baby and a job and evidently hasn't been posting much. Most people probably assumed she was just busy with a newborn and supporting her stay at home dad boyfriend - until this showed up on her blog: My boyfriend has been really supportive and has tried dieting with me, but I just cant seem to stay on course. I am up around 180lbs and my boyfriend has begun to get turned off from me sexually due to my weight and lack of motivation. When we got together I was fit and ambitious. Now I...

Josh, man half of the sponsored family known as "Love Taza", posted a picture of his daughter to instagram yesterday that caused a few people to ask "wtf"? Apparently the image features his toddler daughter running about with Q-Tips sticking out of her ears: The image obviously wound up sparking comments about the danger of "punctured little ear drums" because the entire point of the internet is to point out to people when they are basically celebrating their idiocy. And also because who lets their toddler run around with crap stuck into their ears? I mean, really Josh. Come on.

Young House Love, house lovers, announced this morning that they are moving to a new spray paint project container: Yes, this is a seven-years-in-the-making house coup of ours. We would have loved to take you guys on the house hunting adventure with us like last time, but it all happened so fast and before we knew it we were closing on it. They also made the point - yet again - that their book deal has not made them rich: This is not “the house the book bought” (we still haven’t hit our royalty point), it’s the house that seven years...

Sami Rigelsky, "powerful prayer warrior", is a mother of six and the alleged "bff" of the morally upright MckMama. Determined to adopt a Down Syndrome child, she was delighted when her husband saw a child in his Facebook feed - "As soon as I saw her I knew. I cried. I knew." The question that instantly rose to the surface was "How on EARTH will we afford this?" An adoption from her country is upwards into 31 THOUSAND dollars. We don't have that in the bank. :) That's when we know God spoke to our hearts that it will have to be...

The trend of Blogger Breakups continues with Jason Avant, daddy blogger, announcing on his blog Friday that he and his wife of 12 years had separated: I had only just started telling people about my separation, a few close friends, my parents. Instead, I just held up my throbbing left hand. He saw what wasn't on it. "Oh, Crap, mate. Yeah?" I nodded. "Yeah." Jason and Beth join the ranks of several bloggers, including Dooce and Mom-101, whose relationships are ending this year.

Brooke, has a dog named Sugar, has apparently been crying over her dog. Why, you ask? Because her son - who is "a rambunctious two years old, and he doesn’t know any better" - injured the poor thing: The other day, my son...hurt Sugar. He jumped off the stairs directly onto her back. She is a Shih-Tzu and a small dog...After he jumped on her, she crawled slowly until she found me in the laundry room. Her back hind leg was hurt bad, I could tell. She whimpered a little, but she didn’t whine loudly. Even though she didn’t cry out, I knew it...

Young House Love, slowly dying home improvement diary blog thing site, has decided to try and reinvigorate their readers' interest by launching a forum for their site. Users are informed that: Our aim is to make Young House Love Forums a helpful, fun, and happy place. There are plenty of sites to get your snark on, but this little slice of the internet is meant to be a positive, encouraging spot to share tips and advice, ask questions, and lift each other up. With community goals like that perhaps they should partner with Bloggers Anonymous. Anyway, since its launch the YHL forum...

"Bloggers Anonymous", eyerolls ahoy, is "a new site dedicated to building up other people". Basically you anonymously submit other bloggers along with a blurb about how omgamazeballs they are. With so much negativity online and offline, why not have a space to celebrate each other? "Bloggers Anonymous" is meant for exactly that. A place to build each other up against the critics that want to bring us down. You know what, this is great! What the blog world really needs is more opportunities for bloggers to rub each others' tummies. They just do not get enough rainbow enemas in their...

Four months after announcing her impending divorce and a few weeks after moving to a new home, Dooce has begun to tease the internets into guessing who her new male friend is. As she was leaving NYC after a trip for work, she posted a pic of four boots stating: (more…)

Maggie Mason, apparently mighty, has declared that the "Go Mighty team" will donate money to the Red Cross in the wake of the Boston Marthon bombings...but only if you use their hashtag: The team at Go Mighty talked yesterday and decided that we’d like to ask our community to do 500 small good things. We hope you’ll join us in making time to do something simple and generous. When you do, please let us know by tagging your posts on Go Mighty, Instagram, or Twitter with #MightyKind. When we get to 500 acts, we’ll donate $500 to the American Red...

By now most of the internet world has heard of Blair Koenig, creator of the blog "STFU, Parents". And most of those people also know by now that she recently released a book of the same name, resulting in a flurry of interviews and tv appearances full of the usual "tell me about your blog" and "but you don't have kids" questions. This week Blair took the time to participate in a different sort of interview with GOMIBLOG. Read on to find out why she remained anonymous for so long, why she feels "like an outcast sometimes", and what has...

F.E. Castleberry, a man who expresses his nonconformity by flashing his ankles every chance he gets, is holding a giveaway on his site this week--enter and win one of these ties. F.E.C. describes the ties as thus: K. Cooper Ray is doing it again. He is putting his signature twist on traditional neck-wear. First, it was his reversible bow ties with Brooks Brothers. And now? Now it is long ties with contrasting knots and blades under the Social Primer (a word play on the dual meaning of the word, yet takes the long pronunciation of the "i") label. A commenter objected to...

Haley, a photographer because since 2008 everyone is a photographer, is overweight. She has been using her weight as the basis of a photography series: ...I photograph myself in socially engaged spaces to examine how my body fits into society. I choose compositions within social sites: restaurants, stores, pools and other places of leisure. I attempt to juxtapose my place in the scene with issues that contribute to my weight gain. Basically she takes pictures of herself posing like sad Vader, because that will obviously help her "determine" her "place in society". Apparently that's no longer enough for Haley, because...

Tumblr, yeah I guess people still use it, announced yesterday that after a year of posting stuff their "editorial team" is being disbanded: A year ago, Tumblr did something unprecedented — we created an editorial team of experienced journalists and editors assigned to cover Tumblr as a living, breathing community. The team’s mandate was to tell the stories of Tumblr creators in a truly thoughtful way — focusing on the people, their work, and their stories. The result of this ambitious experiment was Storyboard. After hundreds of stories and videos, features by publishers ranging from Time to MTV to WNYC — not to...

"Messy Dirty Hair", yeah that sounds like someone aspirational, posted today about some top secret super scary blog to be launched April 13th. Evidently the future site owners sent around an email to various bloggers (including "Messy Dirty Hair") attempting to solicit dirty laundry: We’re Reagan and Kennedy. Just like you, we’re two bloggers with our own blogs full of roses, lilies and Jesus. We’re sick of it. We’re sick of the front everyone puts up, we’re sick of this so-called community which fails to hold anyone accountable or accept that maybe we are, in fact, just a bunch of women who want to gossip...

"Mommy Style", a tumblr about some mom's outfits and pics of her kids, wants people on tumblr to stop using tumblr for its primary purpose: MommyStyle Rules re: Reblogging Poopo, Tumblr friends!!! I absolutely LOVE that you all read my blog and that so many of you like the pictures I post of my kidlets. I think they’re pretty cute and it’s nice to know that you agree!!! However, please DO NOT REBLOG photos of my children without asking for my express permission first. I understand that there are certain risks we all take as blogging parents, but it would...

Nate, apparently the soon-to-be-ex of Mom-101, has recently been posting all the feels he is having about their breakup on his blog "The Farewell Transmissions". Yes, a public blog. On the internet. In public. As the husband of a long-time, pretty popular blogger, it seems odd that Nate would post something like this: Hey! Everyone reading my blog and then tattle-taleing to Liz about it… Go yourselves. Seriously. Eat a dick. Sincerely Yours, Nate You know...I would have more sympathy for his claim that he "never asked to be brought into the public forum of the mommy blogging world" if he...
