Sarah Lacy, pregnant,  has already told you people there is no recession. Now she doesn’t understand why the writing proletariat are so upset about losing freelance jobs.

It’s really easy when you have a writing job and two published books under your belt to be all “let them eat HuffPo” when freelance writers complain about being ish canned. Why don’t you go back to complaining about how rough it is to be a privileged late 30’s white upper middle class couple in San Francisco expecting a child and getting tired while antiquing or flying around India on the US government’s dime. You obviously have no idea what it means to actually hustle for work.

Finally grasping that nobody will pick on him if he posts lots of pics of himself cuddling an adorable animal, David Karp finally went out and got himself a bulldog puppy:

Everyone welcome the dog of unknown origin that was purchased because tumblr needed a mascot. Prepare your dash for endless pictures of Jeremy Irons or whatever its name is. If you can get to your dashboard, that is.

Jessica Quirk, fashion icon and house hunter, has evidently figured out that banks do not consider playing dress up an actual job. They seem to have put their house buying plan on hold and acquired an apartment instead.

Once again a perfectly mundane event is cause for multiple exclamation points. Does this mean thatsquirky.com, the rarely updated website supposedly built around the idea of being married in Broomcloset and buying a house, is history?

Nick Denton is the huggable sweetheart behind the insanely awesome and well-written Gawker website. Everyone who knows him has nothing but loving things to say – in fact, his kindness and sensitivity are so well known, there was even talk of including a “Nickie” in the new My Little Pony series.

Nick is renowned for his deep love of the Gawker readers and commenting community. He even does customer service through his twitter, helping readers with the very rare Gawker website complaint:

Sources say Denton has been known to declare “Gawker staff hug day” where he hugs every member of the staff and compliments them. And in today’s economy, he is one of the few – apart from Arianna Huffington – who truly pays writers what they are worth.

Nicky Denton, connoisseur of hugs and cuddler of kittens, can stay on my internets!

Today while the rest of the adult world worked, Tatiana of that love lies lace website did this:

Spent my morning playing in the sand. It was even more amazing than it sounds. http://twitpic.com/4felmc

I’m going to assume (hope) she was doing this in her volunteer Inappropriate Hugger capacity at a daycare.  But we ARE talking about an allegedly grown woman who wears shoes like this:

Yep, those are sequined bow shoes. Worn with pink pants, a pink purse, and pink lipstick. I’m really starting to think this chick thinks she is 7 years old. Yes, this is how she spends entire days, one or two blog posts and playing with kids. I’m not saying it’s bad, at least she is doing some volunteering since she clearly refuses to work. But maybe she could do it while not acting like she is mentally trapped in 2nd grade.
