You may have noticed that my blogroll, while small, contains some awesome links. I started off just linking to the blogs of my friends (Jessica Annabelle, Joe, Dan, D’laney, Molly Looze, and Naomi) but recently decided that I’d like to include links to some of the blogs I check every day.
A couple of them are feminist blogs (Feministe and Feministing), a couple are more LGBTQIA focused (Dan Savage and Fit For a Femme [the writer of this blog posts pictures of her outfits, and they are AMAZING]) and a couple are blogs that cover mostly racial issues (Racialicious and Colorlines).
I’ve included a wide range of topics because I believe that being a one-issue citizen/voter/blogger is difficult and not true to who I am. Obviously, there are issues which I avoid completely, and others which I spend a majority of my time on. But I’d like my readers to be exposed to blogs which discuss some of the ideas I don’t have the time or expertise to write about.
Here, for your sampling pleasure, are some of posts/articles I’ve read recently from each of my links. Hopefully you’ll find them as intriguing, thought-provoking and revealing as I do:
- Colorlines - The College Graduation Gap Can Be Shrunk
- D’laney – COH Wrapup (I’ve linked to this before, but in case you didn’t catch it the first time…)
- Dan Savage – Before the Bondage Workshop
- Daniel – the final word at home
- Feministe – On That “Ground Zero” Mosque
- Feministing – Action Steps YOU Can Take to Improve Trans Folks’ Access to Healthcare
- Fit For a Femme – My little pony. (This is the most recent post, but also one of my favorite outfits so far)
- Jessica Annabelle – It’s Kink Week, and Jessi is doing a wonderful job of writing about kink (both personally and generally). It was hard (pun sort of intended) to choose one post, but here it is: Kink Q&A, Part Two Continued: Unlearning the Unhealthy Stuff I Felt I Should Do while Young, Straight and Female. I would urge you all to read all their kink week stuff, though. It’s great.
- Joe’s is a mostly personal blog, but here is one great review of a cocktail (the Alabama Slammer): Day 9 and 10: New and old friends
- Molly Looze – not a clue of this who i am (she’s a wonderful poet)
- Naomi – Heart of the Matter
- Racialicious – links for 2010-08-12 (while I love what the Racialicious writers have to say, one of the main reasons i read the blog is because they link to so many great articles. check ‘em out)
- Yes Means Yes – Image
Dear friends, if any of you would like me to remove you from this post/blogroll, let me know. Otherwise, I hope you all enjoy.
This was a actually superb post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – getting time and genuine effort to produce a great post… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to obtain something carried out.
