What it’s like being a teen girl

Why we're screwed
Post 121386 by bookman117 deleted for the following reason: Election season is almost over, but right now we still have a very high bar for posts related to U.S. politics. Maybe re-compose this into a post with a bit more depth and focus when you are rested? -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Hurricane or Post Tropical Cyclone?
Post 121381 by Seymour Zamboni deleted for the following reason: This post seems to be making this into an accuweather fueled "controversy" more than it needs to be and maybe in the middle of a natural disaster isn't the right time to be stirring more shit up? -- jessamyn
Hurricane Sandy
Post 121374 by blahblahblah deleted for the following reason: There's a category 3 thread about the storm right over here and it doesn't show any sign of letting up soon. Maybe add this stuff as a comment? -- cortex

WARNING: this post is going to be oh-so-very-triggery for victims of rape and sexual assault. I am not kidding.
Post 121280 by zombieflanders deleted for the following reason: The GOP are pretty terrible about rape, but at the same time Mefi is not a GOP Rape Shittiness blog and it feels like we've really had a lot of "let's talk about rape and people who are shitty about rape" posts. -- cortex

Shepard Tone
Post 121169 by silsurf deleted for the following reason: Hey, this is something that might good for your own blog, but Mefi posts need links to articles or something on the web instead of a write-up by the poster (or a straight wiki link), and the divshare links are also a problem. Contact us if you have questions. -- taz

Toxic Atheism: Don't Put Your Lips On It!
Post 121130 by Fritz Langwedge deleted for the following reason: This thread seems to be the Same Old Argument about atheists vs theists and not even done in a particularly interesting way. If we're going to have a discussion we've had a hundred times before it might be better to have more than a single GRR Salon post about it to kick things off. Thanks for understanding. -- jessamyn

State of Minnesota attempts to limit free acces to education
Post 121050 by specialk420 deleted for the following reason: If this post is about the state limiting, or trying to limit, access to Coursera it should probably mention that somewhere in the post somewhere. Otherwise using Slate's "gotcha" headline is making this post look like something that it isn't. Maybe try again tomorrow? -- jessamyn

Post 121008 by nickrussell deleted for the following reason: There's a big open thread on the debate and while I can totally see a "here are debate memes" thread, a one-off video during election season has been deleted before and is now deleted again. -- jessamyn
Silence Has the Rusty Taste of Shame
Post 120993 by sendai sleep master deleted for the following reason: we have an hours old currently open thread talking about rape and rape culture. An account of a sexual assault is not, on its own, clearly something that makes a good post for metafilter. -- jessamyn

The economics of despair
Post 120920 by Schroder deleted for the following reason: Anything related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is difficult to do well on Metafilter, so a having single link to a news story on this (admittedly interesting) topic is maybe a bit thin. Maybe flesh this out a bit and try again tomorrow? -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Racism at a gaming company
Post 120499 by - deleted for the following reason: At this point, the sole link is dead and I'd have to assume that's by the blogger's intent, so this is kind of a skunked post. If there's some sort of post-worthy denouement to all this down the line a more substantial post about the whole Kixeye thing would be fine. -- cortex
