"My name is Rhoda Morgenstern. I was born in the Upper Midwest in the mid seventies, but I've lived all over the world. People love me or hate me, and it's nice knowing where I stand. I had a bad puberty, and it's still going strong. I'm a high school graduate, I went to a liberal arts college where I learned about writing and feminism and paternalism. If I remembered my ACT scores, I'd never admit it. You may remember me from Trainwrecks. I was the one with good grammar and occasional lazy spelling errors. I started Rhoda's Tact Shack as a side project where I could dispense tactful advise, both solicited and unsolicited, into the tumblr-sphere. Then I abandoned it. Now I'm back. Tumblr, this is your last chance!"
Enforcing Manners, Tumblr Shuts Down 5 Blogs

‘all five of the suspended blogs were devoted to criticism of the same person, a blogger Mr. Thomas describes as “microcelebrity egoblogger Julia Allison.”’

Ugh.  While Trainwrecks did devote some effort to snarking JA, no one who read us could argue that we were exclusively devoted to criticising her.  I’m signing on to team publicity stunt.  Nothing like stifling speech to bring out the spotlight.
