Contains general descriptions of online harassment and abuse.

If you know the name "weev" and do not know who Kathy Sierra is, you really should read this. Ms. Sierra was one of the earliest victims of massive Internet harassment, verbal abuse, doxing, and threats. She's back, telling her story and her story needs to be heard.

Her abusers have held the microphone for a long time - years - and have shaped the narrative and memory of what happened. If you care about this sort of thing, consider reposting this link where others can read it.

Sarah Silverman is awesome and hilarious. This is sort of NSF a lot of workplaces.

ETA: Please read the comment below - this ad has been called out for being trans-phobic and not particularly enlightened. I think this falls into the category of "Liking Problematic Things" for me.

(Full disclosure: I'm a supporter of the National Women's Law Center and this is a fundraiser for NWLC. That doesn't make it less awesome.)
