Agatha Jones, 32 year old lifestyle and mommy blogger, doesn't care about her internet haters. In her third post about 'trolls' she made it clear yet again that she doesn't give a flip what anyone thinks. "At least I have a life, I'm putting something positive into the world," claims the "crazy busy" mother of 3. "I just don't have time to care what people on the internet think about me!" In at least a dozen comments sections of fellow bloggers and hundreds of conversations at blog conferences and via email, Jones has made it very clear that she doesn't...

The SO BRAVE Institute For Blogger Awesomeness, a research group dedicated to proving how awesome bloggers are no matter what science says, has released its latest findings. The new report totes agrees with previous studies that say bloggers are admirably brave. "We asked 15 bloggers what they thought about themselves and over 200 of their fans what they thought about the bloggers they follow," says Dr. S. L. Anket, head of the Department of No For Serious at the institute. "100% of respondents agreed - bloggers are omgamazeballs." Dr. Anket paused, then added: "Bloggers truly define heroic courage - being...

Maegan, of the "Love, Maegan" blog, wants you losers to stop complaining about sponsored posts and ads. Squealing that "We bloggers work hard and offer free content day after day after day AFTER DAY as entertainment and enjoyment for YOU. FOR FREE", she then goes on to say that just like she did back in her days as a world famous Burger King commercial actress she will shill products - even though she is "NOT TRYING TO SELL YOU THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCT" - because: ...I'm a product now too...and if a company thinks there's a good ROI for them if they...

Tired of healthy living blogs that are self-righteous, boring repeats of kale and more kale written in snooze inducing cheerleader voices? Then try Thug Kitchen. There's nothing more health inspiring than being yelled at by food! Take that, HLB's.

Liz Gumbinner, of "Mom-101", is the latest mommy blogger to announce she has now become a single mom: Nate hasn’t lived with us for the past month. It’s strange to fall into habits like sleeping on only two pillows when you can have all four. It’s more strange to lie in bed alone, feeling far less lonely than I did a month ago with someone in the next room over. I’ll take that as a positive sign of more beginnings than endings. Seriously...with so many bloggers getting divorced over the last year I'm beginning to think internet reality shows suffer...

Supposedly just weeks before the balloon payment on her home is due and just days after being ripped a new one by the internet for claiming diet pills will help special needs kids, Jennifer is "Praising God for the beauty He promises to always bring from the ashes": Yes, like a phoenix rising from a smoking pile of debt MckMama has now fled her 6th home in 7 years. Claiming "it was a chimney fire that got out of the chimney behind the walls of our house because there was a gap in the part where the chimney did a...

Meet Amanda. She's angry at Trish. In fact she's so angry that she's created an entire website detailing how angry she is. Why is Amanda angry at Trish? Well according to her, Trish is a criminal who forced her husband to have an affair he didn't want...for 5 years: Her behavior DURING the affair constitutes, however loosely, blackmail, and more definitively, extortion and coercion.  She threatened, underhandedly but in no uncertain terms, that if he didn’t see her when in town (we live in California. A few times a year he went to Columbus, Ohio for business) she would make...

Gina, the feminist breeder of drama, has locked down everything from her blog to her twitter. Apparently she thinks that means it's ok to go ahead and post things like this to the internet: I'd like to know how many "sistahs" out there "agree". I'd also like to know how many "strong black women" love being called "my sistahs" by Gina. I'm gonna go with...not many.

MckMama, owes a bunch of money, can no longer sell sponsorships via her blog. Instead, she is paying off her debt with a new endeavor - selling products from Xyngular. In fact, Xyngular products are apparently such miracle working compounds that MckMama even recommends them for special needs kids: Amazing opportunity to hear a call tonight (9 Central) all about Xyngular's supplements (that I've used to help me lose weight) as they relate to special needs children!! Hear testimonies from parents thankful for how these supplements have helped their children! The call is live. I'll be on it. You can...

Alex, of the blog "Classy As F***", recently posted about the weird disclosure ethics of sex toy company Adam & Eve. It seems they wanted to purchase a sponsored post from Alex - but once her post went up the company had some issues with her (legally required) disclosure: s it turns out, Adam & Eve aren't so into having me disclose that it was a sponsored post. I was told (only after it was up) that I was only allowed to say it was a guest post or that it was done "in association with." Basically, it sounds like they wanted...

Lorrie Fenn, the blogger behind "Token Fat Girl", collapsed Friday and later died at the hospital. According to a post on "Little Loft Large Life": She said she felt a little weird and collapsed.  She was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it.  She died the day after her 30th birthday. In her final blog post Lorrie announced she would be taking a break from blogging, saying it "doesn’t feel healthy to me anymore": It feels degrading. I find myself  waiting for others to tell me if what I ate looks healthy enough, or if my diet plan is to their...

Allen Engstrom's iPad was stolen recently. Apparently the thief isn't aware of how internets works, because she's taking selfies...which are being backed up and synced to his phone: Allen seems to have a nice solution in mind: I'm thinking of taking a picture of myself, letting her know her nice glamour shots are all over the internet and asking her to kindly refer to my name and email ETCHED ON THE BACK OF THE IPAD and contact me about giving it back. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Just a tip to electronics thieves - it's a...

Naomi, of the family branding machine "Love, Taza", wants folks to remember that if you see an upper middle class white woman pushing a thousand dollar baby SUV, you should drop what you're doing, hold the door, and let them go first. Because whatever you are doing or wherever you need to be, it's simply not as important as being a mommy!

Gina, pioneer of the "Pay-To-Stalk model of the blogging world", has finally responded to the lawsuit filed against her by rival birth blogger Dr. Amy. Allegedly filing a day late because of a sick pet or something, she is essentially saying Dr. Amy's suit should be dismissed because the state the complaint was filed in has no says over Gina. She then began her memo in support of her motion to dismiss with opinions that are, in her mind I guess, totally relevant to the case: Repeating several times (for no reason I can figure out) that she has "three young...

Clare, some healthy living blogger, posted today about her struggle with emotional eating. After being called out in the comments, Clare then edited her post to say: As I work through my emotional eating, I’ve been steering clear of the word binge. It just seems too drastic – something that only very sick, very overweight people do. (Which is totally wrong and rude, but I think often the stigma.) Not something that I, a functioning, fit, thin person does. What I was doing was just emotional eating. Just eating too much sometimes. She explains in her comments that her edit is...

"Notes from the Handbasket" has spent over a year justifying why she won't leave the husband who totally did nothing wrong in having horrible images of children on his computer. Now that he has been convicted for possession of CSA material, she would like to remind you all that your judgment is ridiculous: Upon hearing about a man convicted on  charges, many women declare that if it were their husband, they know exactly what they would do. They would turn him in themselves, they would hold him at gunpoint, they would hate him forever, they would kick him out of the house, they would...

After a mere 6 or so months on the market Stately Dooce Manor has sold. Last month I sold this house, this beautiful place that I once thought would be the scenery of my future. In about a week I’ll be living elsewhere and the girls and I will continue to make memories there. Let's hope her new residence isn't some terrible downgrade to a 7 bedroom 5 bath house. I'd hate to think of her living in such squalor. But since Dooce says "if the last year and a half of my life has shown me anything it’s that a...

BlondeBrunetteTravel, sisters who blog about their travels, are just dying to attend TBEX Dublin in October. As people who have a blog where they talk about travel, they apparently think airlines should give them discounted rates because don't companies know they have a blog? To that end, they are attempting to publicly arm twist Aer Lingus into giving TBEX attendees the discount they deserve: Hey TBEX friends. Let's petition Are Lingus to offer good fares to us for the Dublin conference! We were going to try to start a Twitter campaign but, amazingly, they don't use Twitter (have an unused...

Heather, breath of musty air, has found the solution to shivering in her mansion - go on another trip. After taking a moment to mock her daughter's card, Dooce evidently boarded a plane to spend Valentine's Day in New York City: (more…)

It seems the recently troll-proofed blog "The Feminist Breeder" experienced something of a snag yesterday in its grand scheme to keep out anonymous haters: Website Bidness: There was a technical error that caused the site to offer a "free for life" subscription option this morning, and y'all were registering like gangbusters before we found it. Announcing that "if you registered for a free account in that time, the account has since been deleted" because it's "not fair to those who've already sholeed out their cash for the site", Gina instructed folks to "please re-register for one of the paid options". When...
