Only because I was working on this post did I realize it was Friday the 13th! Thankfully, I don’t think we’ll be affected much because we’ve got plenty of good luck being supported and shared on these rad blogs. So here’s our weekly “Pinterest picks” round-up: we hope they’ll bring you lots of inspiration over the weekend and you can see their collages below the jump. As always, if you’ve got a link of your own Pinterest picks to share, let me know with a comment or an email.
1. The Little Plum blog; Carissa’s boards.
2. Lauren Elise Crafted blog; Lauren’s boards.
3. Secrets of a Butterfly blog; Kathryn’s boards.
4. What is Design blog; Sarah’s boards.
5. The Glam Lamb blog; Hallie’s boards.

I found Molly Fischer’s essay about Jezebel, The Hairpin, xojane.com and Rookie interesting, provocative, and deeply frustrating. Her dissection of these blogs’ aesthetics and the rhetorical styles they’ve bred in their commenter-bases is skillful, but what is its point? There are a lot of…
I wanted to respond to this N + 1 essay, but, while I don’t agree with every word she says, Emily Gould makes a lot of the points I would’ve made, much better than I would’ve made them. I’ll just add that it’s not like sites devoted to those more serious topics Fischer mentions don’t exist, providing comfort for the afflicted and hammers with which to smash the kyriarchy (a very ladyblog word, I know). Or that there aren’t sites that emphasize the serious stuff but still make room for lighter topics, e.g. Tiger Beatdown and Feministe. And it’s not as though the readerships of the ladyblogs and the Serious Feminist Sites don’t overlap a lot. They serve different, though complementary, functions.
Or, to put it in a more ladyblog way:

The last few months have been a whirlwind here at Pinterest. It’s hard to explain how it feels to go from a small group of people working on a virtually unknown website, to a slightly bigger team of people working on a service that millions of people use every day. It’s humbling, and exciting.
With all that growth, we’ve gotten more questions from reporters and Pinners. In the past, we’ve been pretty quiet, but we want to get better about answering questions openly with people who are interested in Pinterest. We decided to start today by talking about copyright.
