I’m really grateful for journalists taking care to report suicide compassionately and responsibly, so thank you. For anyone who is interested, the Samaritans guidelines are pretty good, IMO: http://www.samaritans.org/media-centre/m…

EDIT: Oh, and for the people complaining that this is clearly ‘POLITICAL CORRECTNESS Read more

In this episode of Gawker Grammar Police, TheAngryMob feigns indignation over semantics instead of realizing the semiotic relevance of a tragic event and gets to eat humble pie for their ignorance. Read more

Thank you, good reporting of suicide saves lives. Read more

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation Read more

Pretty shitty of people to use an amputee veteran as a thin veil for their transphobia

Read this earlier, and just, wow.

I mean, I was an idiot and a bad person in college too. But I never felt like I had the ability to try to ruin somebody’s life because... well, not because they didn’t agree with me, exactly, but because they agreed with me, but not on every exact thing.

Absolutely, yes. You are spot-on on the fetishizing black culture. Read more

I know she is 17, I know she’s made some questionable choices. And I know a lot of you hate her for a variety of reasons. But the booing at her introducing HER BROTHER-IN-LAW and people calling her fat? She’s going through something very few people have experienced on such a public stage and based on her interviews, Read more

Every time I've forgotten this someone has reminded me. It is amazing how many humorless people are out there (in here?). Kill me if I ever lose perspective and the ability to lovingly laugh at myself and others Read more

I can’t believe you’re parading your hangover around like it’s a joke. It’s not cute. I’m a recovering alcoholic, and I was triggered by your comment. Now I’ll sit at my desk all day craving a cocktail and will probably relapse. Words have meaning. Words have weight. I hope you’re pleased with yourself.
