Another BlogHer conference has ended, and from behind all the hype and hooplah some very interesting stories emerged. Some highlights: (more…)

Babble.com has been offline for quite a while now. Other than claiming a "server outage" as the cause, they have been silent on twitter about the problem. Babble was evidently un-partnered by Disney in early March, but rumors of writer payment issues have been circulating since December. Is this the first sign of possible problems? Or is it just a 48 hour server outage? Update: Minutes after this post went live babble.com came back online with a message that they are "busy adding some exciting new features to the site" and to "please check back later".

Over at XOJane, bastion of the meaningful, India-Jewel Jackson wrote a meh piece about Paula Deen and "apology culture". Thankfully she managed to spice it up in the comments when she more or less started up a Who Has Been More Oppressed contest. Hint on who won - not Jews! ith the slavery vs. holocaust debate, it's a bit different, as it was ultimately based upon race vs. religion, as in, Blacks were enslaved for hundreds of years, because they were Black. They couldn't change or alter the appearance so as to escape and fly under the radar. Jews were...

Mikayla Nogueira claims she lost her hair because of the Covid vaccine.

Jenna Cole, 1/16 Jewish, is now 15/16th nudist. This weekend the uber feminist code warrior WAHM went out to a beach and ripped off her clothes and sobbed into the sand. I felt my skin warming and the waves spraying and the wind kissing in a way I had never felt before, and it wasn't long before I turned my back up to the sun so I could bury my face in my towel and cry...And then my new nudist friend Robert (who is somewhere around sixty years old and has an incredible ability to have a twenty minute conversation...

Jenna Cole, That Weirdo, snapped an adorable photo of her children today. They are playing "robot massager game" which teaches them sharing and how to put mommy's vibrator on their face. Mothers of the world, enlighten me - is this a normal thing you would share with the world? Because I tend to think this is  major overshare. Maybe Jenna should save such moments to share as private anecdotes to tell her closest friends and family instead of posting them where her kids' future classmates and prom dates can find them.

Mary Rambin, honorary citizen of Mexico, has joined the illustrious ranks of webaritos appearing in court: I accidentally ran a stop sign while in Houston this summer. Because I don’t have a Texas liscence, I can’t get rid of it with defensive driving, so I hired one of Houston’s go-to “get it thrown out” lawyers for $75 to hopefully have the case dismissed. Per usual, I’m the one in a hundred that has to go through the whole ordeal. And my cop is the one who ALWAYS shows up. So here I sit awaiting my fate, praying for a break...

Meaghan O'Connell, sad sack of fail and (apparently) donuts, totally did not care at all that David Karp made it to one whole year (that is like 13 years in tumblryrs) with his skinny girlfriend. In fact she's totally not posting this Mary Karr quote after spending another night alone with her Rachel Voodoo Doll and an Entenmann's box: David is the only guy rash enough ever to get my name tattooed on his bicep- in a heart with a banner. Even before we’ve kissed on the lips, he does this. Watching those flesh-colored band-aids peel off a phalanx to...
