Jezebel died because G/O mismanaged them but also because there is an entire industry dedicated to making sure brands don't advertise on articles that make people sad or angry as defined by black box algorithms 404media.co/advertisers-dont…

NEW: The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) has faced criticism from advocates who say Republican politicians could weaponize it to target LGBTQ content. But @ACLU @EFF and @fightfortheftr told me state AGs could also use it to censor info about abortion.

Male fight clubs: gross But women's fight clubs? Much cooler. As one source told @AudraHeinrichs, "[Women] do it because they’re seeking a strength—a physical strength, but also a strength of ego that you can protect yourself and you’re worth protecting." jezebel.com/women-fight-club…

BREAKING: A Nebraska judge sentenced a woman to two years in prison after she bought abortion pills for her teen daughter and helped bury fetal remains in early 2022. Self-managed abortion isn't illegal there, but the case shows a desire to target helpers jezebel.com/nebraska-abortio…

“If you feel icky about it, you can feel icky about it… But that doesn’t mean you have to be mad at someone else." A maddening story from @kylietcheung about Title IX admins downplaying women's sexual assault claims...because they feel bad for the guy. jezebel.com/college-title-ix…

One survivor described “himpathy” as a reaction to girls failing to just be girls: “There’s this puritanical aspect of it that tells us ‘good girls forgive’—that if you are filing complaints against him, you’re not a good girl,” she told @kylietcheung jezebel.com/college-title-ix…

With Laura’s departure, there are just 9 underpaid, overworked Jezebel staffers left to cover issues like abortion, LGBTQ rights, and feminism writ large. Traffic goals and output requirements have not let up. xitter.cf/LEBassett/status/16937…
I guess the cat's out of the bag. I have reluctantly resigned from Jezebel, because the company that owned us refused to treat my staff with basic human decency. I will love and support my writers til the end and am so grateful I got to shepherd this site through the end of Roe.
