Blog Day 2008
Who knew such a thing existed? I heard about it from Ari Herzog.
Five blogs I like (which are, obviously, listed under “blogs I read,” but here is some more detail):
- Bitch Magazine Blogs: This group blog by people associated with Bitch Magazine covers all things pop culture and feminist, and has tons of great insight. I love it. A good place to read up on current events, find out about calls for submission, and find links to other cool stuff on the interweb.
- Kenyon Farrow: Kenyon used to be an editor for Clamor Magazine. I love his witty writing and great perspective – he blogs most days (so prolific) on AIDS, race, and politics.
- Praxis Makes Perfect: Joshua Kahn Russell is one of my closest Bay Area friends and comrades, because he’s young and smart and radical.He writes about his work in the social justice movement, from SDS to environmental activism.
- It’s Getting Hot In Here: A group blog of the youth environmental movement (I think youth is loosely defined here), not only can you read about current events and news stories, but you can find out where the movement is heading. What are people talking about?
- Bag News Notes: This blog analyzes images from the day’s news – and the comments from readers are almost as interesting sometimes. Today’s post is analyzing a post of W and David Paulison of FEMA from a Gustav press conference.
