Fuck You Very Much! Cha-CHING!
I like reading http://www.dooce.com. I got hooked on the http://www.dooce.com/daily-chuck/2012/04/19/puppy-nose Daily Chuck (shots of her dog, who poses for treats) and I also enjoy her writing about nothing in particular. She has a good sense of humor and talks openly about depression. She appears to be earning a hell of a good living as a blogger, which is mystifying because I'm old enough to not quite get how that's possible (advertisers, yeah yeah, but still). I don't love every little thing about it, I don't identify with every little thing, but I don't have to. It's human, she keeps it pretty real (and occasionally delightfully rude and raunchy) without using it as a platform to shit on people she doesn't get along well with and ... did I mention the dog pics? Cuz those rock. Especially this one http://dooce.com/daily-chuck/2009/02/11/family-recipe.
Anyway. She gets a lot of hate mail. People get ridiculously personal and nasty and work pretty hard at trying to say things that'll hurt her. She turned the hate mail she gets into the kind of "Fuck you, I'm RICH, bitches!" that I can absolutely appreciate, and it makes me both envious of the money she's earning as a blogger and very grateful that I'm not famous. She posts all her hate mail on one section of her blog, which is shared by allllll the advertisers that pay her. You can't read the hate mail without seeing all the ads. Fuckin brilliant. Go, Heather. http://dooce.com/hate/
PS - She notes that any money earned from the ads on the 'hate' pages goes straight to charity. Kick ass.
