Let’s yap!

Comments are officially ON on Just Good Shit (for all posts starting today, that is)!  

This was actually my plan from the get-go, but when I made the move to Squarespace and Kiyana was customizing this template for me (no small job!), we both kind of lost steam when it came to designing the comments. I was planning to look into a third-party system (like Disqus) and then I just…never got around to it. We still haven’t gotten around to it in the sense that, for now, I’m just toggling on the Squarespace option and not doing anything special to them, but I think that’s fine for now! You guys are smart and thoughtful and I like hearing from smart and thoughtful people, so I think it will be nice to have them on. 

I want my blog to be a nice place to hang out and yap, so here are my ground rules to foster good conversation: 

• Don’t be racist, sexist, anti-fat, anti-trans, ableist, or otherwise bigoted. 

• No body shaming or diet talk. 

• Don’t be a dick. 

• Don’t be weird. 

• Any criticism/pushback/etc. needs to be sincere and offered in good faith. 

• Just…be cool, guys! 

I’ll add more rules to this list if necessary, but I feel like this kind of covers how we should all act in public spaces! 

Any comments that break the above rules will be removed. I’ve also turned on the option to flag comments; if any comment gets flagged twice (by other people reading), it’ll get sent to moderation automatically and then I can deal with it from there! If comments are getting out of control on a particular post, I’ll shut them off on that post. I’m also setting it up so that comments on each post will automatically close after two weeks to help cut back on spam.

Looking forward to chatting with you guys again! 📣
