I mean, it doesn't seem to have gone away.

I'm still weirdly, like, I don't read them.

Like you said, like it sets me into a wormhole that I don't want to get into.

But for a while after I closed the blog, I can't even remember the year I closed it, but, um, I, I just stopped updating, but I would still do the same work.

You know, like I would, I would kind of like work on hoaxes with like a group of five people and we'd sort of like

deal with things internally and like email the person and be like, Hey, please stop doing this.

You know, just, it just, it got to the point with my blog that anytime I posted anything, it would be like a nightline story, which is too much pressure for me.

And also like, that's a fricking like nightline would literally pick it up.

Like nightline would be like, okay, could we hope you want again to like talk about this?

And I'm like, how much can we talk about that?

I mean, like, again, like I know that it's a super, I shouldn't say that as I'm appearing on

podcast right now talking about it but like um it just became a lot of pressure and also I was like okay it's one thing if I'm like writing about these people and it just stays on a wordpress blog and like people pass it around facebook it's another with I write about it and it's like on gawker and stuff you know like it's crazy uh gawker like r.i.p um yeah

RIP.

Gosh.

Good times on Gawker for a while.

I know.

I miss Gawker.

Me too, man.

The best.

Katie Weaver's still writing, so that's a good thing.
