Where does your Tumblr name come from?
(via gooneruk)
I bought emilyposts.com years ago with the intentions of starting a blog about manners and etiquette. I never ended up using it, so it became my tumblr alias.
Claudia is my first name, Catalina is my middle name. I use the name Catalina instead of my last name because I was busted for plagiarizing in college and needed a new...

matthewb:
The feedback on my recent iPhone interface for Tumblr was that it was difficult to set up, so I’ve made it easier. You can now direct users to an iPhone-optimised version of your Tumblr site using a URL like this:
http://tumblephone.com/<username>/
The core of the resulting site is the same as for the self-hosted version, with none of the hassle. If you use it, let me know.

13 'Facts' About Women

from this article here
Uses Sex To Manipulate Men: If she’s looking extra hot and/or acting particularly friendly, beware: she is probably going to ask you to do something you don’t want to do. (This is a perfectly acceptable trade-off in a woman’s mind.) She knows you like sex, and she’s got the tools to use that desire against you–or at least to get what she wants....

In re Jezebel Condomgate 2008
karinalongworth:
brianvan:
It is very alarming that people who just don’t give a fuck have positions of substantial power in publishing, even if Jezebel is small potatoes compared to Cosmo… there’s a significant audience that will, initially, seriously consider their opinions before realizing that they’re not just full of shit, but also intending to be full of shit.
It’s not a writer’s job...
Moe Problems
forwhenifeellikesharing:
I don’t really understand why people are surprised that someone like Moe exists on a site like Jezebel.com, which has shown little to no ethical integrity… ever.
The site is bad for women (and men) and it always has been. This is not to say all of its ideals are wrong, but it is bombastic and flies in the face of what any kind of decent, thoughtful, or fair “reporting”...

“The current adult generation, those born in the ’60s and ’70s, well, we grew up before seatbelt laws—the first came in 1984—before car seats, and back when nursing mothers were prescribed drugs that you’d kill to be able to get today if you were desperate to get off...

I really wish women would stop saying things like “men are assholes” — grouping us all together based on the acts of one individual… like say, me. Just because I am a total asshole jerkface dickwad bastard doesn’t give you the right to apply that to my entire gender. Geesh.
