Update: More than a day after she was initially hacked and locked out, Geraldine DeRuiter's Twitter access has been restored. Looks like her tweet history is still partially deleted, but here's what she had to say about the hack:

Original article:

Last week, Seattle-based writer Geraldine DeRuiter published a piece on the pizza cinnamon roll recipe that Mario Batali attached to a tone-deaf apology for sexual misconduct. The piece, which documented an actual attempt at making the rolls while providing a funny, feminist meditation on the moment, racked up more than a million visits to DeRuiter's blog and went viral on social media.

But on Sunday morning, DeRuiter woke up to find she couldn't access her Twitter account.

She also noticed that her profile photo, cover image and name had been changed. DeRuiter's pinned tweet had been altered to one that bragged of a hack (with a racial slur). DeRuiter watched as her Twitter history—her main avenue for sharing and advertising her work—started to disappear.
