I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but, as of next Friday, Megan Carpentier will no longer be working as an editor on Jezebel.

Megan, who has been working for Jezebel in some capacity since way back in 2007, has taken an exciting, full-time gig with Air America's website, where she will be working under the auspicious title of "News/Politics" editor. There will be more on this - much more, including toasts, tears and thinly-veiled tirades - as her tenure here winds down, but for now please give her your best wishes in the comments. She'll need them, because, on Monday, she is being forced to liveblog Rush Limbaugh's radio program as punishment for her disloyalty.

<![CDATA[To Do: Send Us Your Most Awesome/Embarrassing 80s-Era Photos]]> Remember Past Fashion? You may recall that we stopped doing it (I got lazy). For those who don't remember: it was a monthly feature in which readers sent in photos of amazing past fashions.

In fact, the course of a few months last year, readers sent in photos for galleries on everything from "retro" black hairstyles, to Easter outfits, childhood pets, bridal fashions, prom dresses, summer swimsuits, sports uniforms, school portraits, and Halloween costumes. Now, not only are we bringing the feature back, but we're making it decade-specific: the 1980s. And as you can see from the image above left, I'm going first. (School year 1986-87. Grade: 8th. Location: Northern California. Top: Esprit. Curl Activator: Care Free Curl©. Lipstick: Revlon. Eyeliner: Electric blue. Psyche: Tortured. )

Here's what to do: Send in scans of your best or worst 80s-era photos to photos@jezebel.com by Friday, May 15. Please include the year, location, your first name or commenter name, and - this is important - a brief description of your memories of the photo and the era. We'll be putting up the gallery in late May, while also announcing the theme for June's edition. Oh, and while you're at it, check out the galleries from last year, below; some of your favorite commenters may be featured.

<![CDATA[Friends, Meet Facebook: A New Way To Comment]]> Sorry for the tardiness with this post but I've had stuff to deal with. So: As a few of you already know, we have a (fairly) new way to comment: via Facebook.

What this means: You can use your Facebook account to log into and leave a comment on Jezebel. When and if you do so, your comment will appear below the relevant Jezebel post as well as in your Facebook feed, for all your peeps to see.

Because Facebook commenters don't require an audition or moderator approval to comment, there may be an influx of new commenters coming from the social networking site. But here's a word of warning: if new, Facebook-using commenters abuse the commenting system in any way (see here for guidelines) or piss off, bore or annoy us, they can and will be banned. And, unlike other methods of commenting, a ban given via a Facebook account is irreversible and permanent. (Note: By "permanent," I do not mean a certain type of hair processing.)

Lastly, some of you have inquired as to whether, when commenting via Facebook, if the rest of the world (i.e. the other Jezebel readers) will be able to view your Facebook account. The answer: No. However, readers will be able to see your Facebook name, which, of course, may also be your real name.

Questions? Leave them in the comments and we'll try to answer them soon.
