Sometimes I get freaked out if I have to call for a pizza, even if I know doing so will result in piping hot pizza. PIZZA.

how not to be a dick
A comment thread is over when names are called, especially if anyone brings up the Nazis.
teen girls
The combination of teen girls and the Internet tends to provoke a specific kind of fear, one of tender innocents corrupted and potentially abused by older people, usually men.
kickstarter
I now receive a minimum of one Kickstarter campaign solicitation in my email in-box every week. It feels a little like blackmail.
blogging
I had the first inkling of “Maaaybe I should slow down on the blogging about my kid” around the time my son turned one-and-a-half and started looking and acting like more of an actual person.
hateration
When I was 10, I was one of the founding members of the "I Hate Shonda Club," which boasted an impressive roster of three girls from my street.
the internet
Don't worry, this is not another "are women funny?" thing, because ZZZZZ. This is something else entirely. )
jezebel
If you're a woman with an internet presence, you need skin as thick as a redwood trunk to deal with the barrage of insults and threats that you'll unquestionably receive from misogynist trolls.
family drama
I didn’t know it yet, but by the time I sent that tweet, my mom had already been dead for nine minutes.
gawker
Have you ever had someone write something really mean about you online? And then you found out they got hired to be sitting right next to you at work -- day after day?
memes
It all started with Reddit (as so many strange and terrible things do).
i barely know how sex works today
When I was a kid, my parents made sure to tell me that babies were made from sperm and eggs, but it took me 15 years to figure out that balls don't live inside dudes like sleeping chipmunks.

As much as I love technology and the convenience and connectedness that go along with it, I get weary of looking at screens.

creeps
I had a full fledged Overreaction to an email from a stranger. Here's the uplifting note he wrote me back
creep shaming
This is your Internet and you have the right to see all the dong you want and none that you don't.
blocking
I bind you, Nancy. I bind you from sending me wiener pics on Twitter.
beef
Finally I got a return email. I was halfway to an adrenaline buzz as I opened it. But, instead of an attack that I was intentionally trying to draw out of her, I found this.
say something nice on the internet day
My love affair with the Internet and its people.
addiction
I don't think my addiction is hurting anybody, but it's prrrrrrobably annoying a lot of people.
chinese medicine
It fixed my uterus! Can it fix my brain? Wikipedia, ho!

As we all know, everyone on the Internet is fat and ugly.
