Blogrolling: or, every storm has a silver lining (something like that)
posted by bitchphd
So one of the nice outcomes of a big brawl, besides the expected increase in traffic (hi, everyone! Make yourselves at home) is discovering some rocking new bloggers. In the spirit of Pen-Elayne's declaration that this is "Estrogen Month" (appropriate, given the brouhaha), let me introduce you to some of the new women I've met. Addendum: Plus one token guy. My bad. Hope Mr. Heretik doesn't feel, like, all emasculated or anything.
Rampaging PMS. How could you not love a blog with that title? Plus, she talks about s-e-x. Ooooh, scandalous. Be sure and check out her awesome, moving, horrifying, strongly-written post about why abortion must remain legal.
First Draft (everyone has great titles), a group blog that has both boys and girls. And they talk about politics. Even the girls. Although I must take exception to their calling Barbara Bush a bitch; that's my title.
The Heretik. Gorgeous, smart, clever, snarky blog. My only complaint is that the RSS feed doesn't reproduce the look of the thing, and the look is important: one of those great creative blogs that really takes advantage of the medium to do something new.
Whirled View. Three women. International affairs specialist, chemist, poet. World politics. Hot damn.
Blondesense. "Progressive female bloggers (and Petey)" who write about all sorts of stuff.
An Insomniac's Dreamblog. Pretty writing, and I feel a kinship with her on account of our dads.
Welcome to the Nuthouse. A mommy blog and politics! Imagine!
Pinko Feminist Hellcat. She's been around for ages; don't know why I hadn't added her before, but there ya go.
My new girlfriend, Shakespeare's Sister. See also Big Brass Blog (love the double connotation of brassy dames / brass balls, by the way), a brand new group blog that she works on. BBB also has, being a group blog, links to the other women who contribute. I predict great things.
The Sideshow. I love her because she wasn't afraid to call bullshit on a certain male blogger who was lamenting the lack of women, even though he said he read her every day, but somehow had forgotten to put her on his blogroll. Excellent, excellent news & commentary blog.
Sisyphus Shrugged. Again, has been around; why I haven't added her before I don't know, but now I have.
Finally, although War on Error isn't new to my blogroll, I have been dying to point out the fantastic series of posts she's been doing on social class in America. Start here, and use the sidebar to navigate to the other six posts on the subject. In fact, really, I recommend just reading through her archives. I am in awe of her brilliant, incisive, thoughtful, feeling analysis.
There are also several other new titles scattered throughout the blogroll; and if you're new here, well, dip in and out of the old folks, as well. There are a lot of good, smart people over there on the right side of your browser window. See what you can find.
Addendum: here are a couple of others I meant to add, but it slipped my mind. Apologies! The Goddess and Watermelon Punch.
Addendum the third: oh, and don't forget Jenniebee!!!
