atedaysaweek-deactivated2010070 asked: I am always looking for good blogs to read and have a lot of trouble finding well-written, frequently updated, interesting ones. What are some of the blogs that you read?
I used to read Jezebel, but now I don’t have time. I hit Feministing a lot just for a perusal of headlines. Same for Twitter, which has basically replaced Google Reader for me.
Of the blogs I do read: JGH and Kat are both awesome young feminist women, who write about gender in a really relatable way (often by drawing inspiration from their own lives and experiences). Ditto for Australian journalist Rachel Hills who blogs and writes professionally about media, gender, and sex. Reading Sexism and the City is like a daily lesson in feminist history, popular culture, and activism. As far as sex blogs go, I like Turn Yourself In, written by a college girl with a penchant for swinging, and Debauchette, a “whoretesan” who writes about both clients and relationships. Both have long-term boyfriends, which makes the storyline a little more interesting.
(Obviously, I’m somewhat biased since I personally know a lot of the above people, but I’ve never been into reading the personal blogs of people I don’t know.)
