Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday March 11, 2007 zuzu You know the drill: toot yer horns. UPDATE: Okay, you don’t know the drill. Promote specific posts, with descriptions, so people know why they should visit your blog. Y’all really gotta brush up on your self-promotion skills. Oy!
I think you have to be a bit more aggressively offensive than that, Shannon 🙂 Say something about Ann Althouse. Or the misogyny of the upper levels of the Catholic hierarchy.
I’m not offended by your site. But a little hurt that nobody cares about my kinky sex life. Sure, said sex life has failed to materialize, but still…
I’m a student union executive, blogging about feminism and university politics – sometimes together, sometimes separately. Most recently I have a blog about how my student union just screwed up big time.
My blog has sparkle and pizazz. If you visit, I will be much appreciative. Oh, and there are stories about Dennis Kucinich acting against democrats, Bush, cocaine, the OC, Syria, Iran, National Review, Fox News, and marijuana. Just from today. Yeah!
My website is fucking ancient, therefore it must be good. Well, fuck it, maybe I can bribe you with NCAA tourney picks. And a sidebar picture of Alain Delon.
I just wrote about international women’s day and how some people, libertarians in Australia and perhaps everywhere, have a really unique attitude.
I call my blog offensive, since the nickname is my offensive blog because it might offend someone, somewhere, sometime. Yea, the problem about a kinky sex life is that it tends to mostly be of interest to the person (or people) having the kinky sex with you rather than complete and total strangers.
Posts, people! Link to your posts, not your blogs! Er, maybe this is a bad time to promote my blog. ‘Cause you’re hosting Alon’s whining?
Jenna: UTSC? You’re practically in the neighbourhood! (I’m at St. George.) Had no idea all of this was going on. My blog is boring and personal, but I just put up a monster post about gender roles in Battlestar Galactica, and also briefly summarized a bit of assigned reading about the problems with demarcating sex.
Uh….I finally started posting again? And I’ll put the Infamous Penis Post back up as soon as I unpack the old database, I promise. http://www.mythago.com/blog
I wrote a post last week about being an (untenured) academic and blogging under my own name: http://scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience/2007/03/blogging_as_myself.php
Zuzu– Yes, that’s why. But I’ve also got a lovely post up about how Bush is ruining Glacier Park, and a great set of links. So maybe it’s worth stopping by after all.
Finally got around to doing one on Dobson and the pro-life hypocrisy of the fundagelicals.http://sanguineinseattle.blogspot.com/2007/03/focus-on-humanity.html
I wrote a post last week about being an (untenured) academic and blogging under my own name: Your name’s really Free-Ride? Gordo, your posts are fine. Besides, Alon’s stomped his feetsies and said he’s never, ever coming back here, so I think we’re safe.
At Mostly Harmless, I called zuzu out here and followed up here. And I’m being (sob)…ignored (sniff). So I turned to LPGA blogging. At Citizen of Somewhere Else, I accidentally blogged International Women’s Day and humbly nominated myself for father of the year.
Experienced crafters can mock all of the embarrassing mistakes I made when I knitted my second-and-a-half scarf ever. (Half-scarf was made in high school and was probably thrown away when I moved out to go to college. Twenty years later, I’ve decided to take up knitting again.) I tried political blogging, and it’s just not me. But I have knitting! And cats! And cats playing with knitting!
Trinifar at 9:53 pm: you futzed the link to your excellent post fisking the young libertarian polluting our golden soil here in Oz. Maybe zuzu could edit the link?
Thanks for the opportunity, I’ve most recently (meaningfully) blogged about the police culture in NZ and how it fails to deal appropriately with rape complainants. (Part of the fall-out from a series of recent police rape trials here on the other side of the world).
I blog about Zimbabwe, the political crisis nobody in the world seems to know about and how the situation over there effects women, who’s live expectancy has dropped to 34 years, women who can’t buy sanitary pads anymore and suffer from bad hygiene, who have to choose between a little food for the kids or a bar of soap or female hygiene stuff, who fight the system with their organisation WOZA.
Oooh la la more blogsturbating! Here we go: Here’s a post about mental illness, incarceration, and the ethics (or lack thereof) of placing mentall ill inmates in solitary confinement. And since my blog is wide-ranging, here’s a post about a potential new FL law that would continue the fine tradition of stripping a woman’s civil liberties as soon as she becomes pregnant.
Well, two posts might be relevant. Why feminism is still relevant – nothing new there for people here, but I have tried to put it in my own words (with data and stuff). Dishonesty with statistics – attacks the claims by a Townhall column that a study shows that Democrats are more racist than Republicans.
I made this post about why we *don’t* have a Men’s History month. But it generated a lot more comment over on my LJ. Sadly, a lot of that comment is the point WOOSHING past some people’s head, but hey. Here’s where to see the comments. Listen for the whooshing. *sigh*
I’m firewalled from my own blog at work and can’t link to any specific posts, but I have a “Screechy Feminist” tag where all my women-are-human-beings-goddammit rants circle the wagons and bitch. I try to avoid politics because other blogs do it better. Other than that I’m a 40ish member of the Sex Class, finally waking up and smelling the fair-trade coffee, and terribly, horribly conflicted about being a fun sex-pos feminist (NOT!), and I hope that explains the boobie shots. That is all.
eh, this isn’t my best blog post ever (I’d say that’s my HPV vaccine post, but that was like a month ago), but it’s a cool piece of info that y’all might be interested in: Using International Law to Protect Battered Women I’ve been lazy this week.
I posted about Mitt Romney’s blah-blah-blah-“person of faith”cakes moment and why religion is a really lousy standard for choosing elected officials. My preference? Agnostics, but YMMV.
Shannon is sorry for not knowing the drill. I have to say I consider the HP a honorary rad fem as she doesn’t go around being like woe is me! She just posts her boobie shots, and us prudes monitor them for work safeness.
Trinifar at 9:53 pm: you futzed the link to your excellent post fisking the young libertarian polluting our golden soil here in Oz. Maybe zuzu could edit the link? Done.
http://ginmar.livejournal.com/1026917.html A post about how, once established, a patriarchy and an insurgency become passively self-perpetuating. Rather pessimistic, I’m afraid.
Well (I know, I know, it’s later than Sunday), the latest few on my page might be of interest — Here the South Korean government is pushing to get a middle school book used across the US pulled Here the U.S. Passport office is now refusing to recognize a *name change* subsequent to a same-sex marriage Here, well, the post title says it all…
At the All Girl Army we are celebrating Women’s History Month with a post every day. If you’re interested in reading young feminists celebrate the women who inspire them, please stop by.
A few weeks ago I wrote and deep and heart-wrenchingly moving piece about my no-no. I tend to write many, many deep and heart-wrenchingly moving pieces. Some people argue that they just have gas when they read my blog. I beg to differ.
My blog on marriage and “conservative ideals”– http://tobestalks.blogspot.com/2006/06/history-of-marriage-complications-of-i.html
More tooting… can’t help myself. An in-depth look at rape including my list of movies that promote the idea of false rape accusations. http://tobestalks.blogspot.com/2006/05/in-depth-look-at-rape.html TOOT!
Brand new blog to look at how oppression affects women’s health. Posts like this one, When Circumcision Hurts Women As I said, brand new. But several posts already written are in queue with the idea to clue us all in to the specific health consequences, case-by -case, story by story, etc. Content should be added exponentially in the next several weeks.
These comments made me laugh! It’s so hard to promote oneself, so much easier to do it for others… I’m no exception to this [and don’t have a website], so I’d like to post instead about a woman who writes from a progressive feminist slant that I like a lot. She’s lively, funny, and knows how to put data in perspective. Try it sometimes. Her name is Heather Wokusch, her recent book “The Progressives’ Handbook – Get the Facts and make a Difference Now” [excerpts at http://www.heatherwokusch.com/ where you can also see her latest article “War on Terror, War on Women”] Heather Wokusch on Women’s issues, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCgPJLegpzc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl9x2_56cRg
Fourteen Marthas, not one Mary: a retreat report and a long meditation on girls, pressure, parents, and people-pleasing If the title piques your interest, come on over. Sample: Thanks to the remarkable success of several waves of American feminism, the girls I work with today have more opportunities than virtually any generation before them. Though they have to confront a misogynistic backlash that has taken root in many aspects of our dominant culture, they have the chance to achieve more and do more and enjoy more than their mothers and grandmothers. But we’ve made the terrible mistake of turning opportunity into obligation. We’ve sucked the joy right out of their over-programmed, over-monitored, over-achieving little lives. True feminism and true Christian faith are absolutely congruent in their mutual opposition to the idea that young women ought to live up to an ever-more demanding set of duties and commitments.
I am part of the editorial team of the Imagining Ourselves exhibit, a global, multilingual online exhibit featuring art, photographs, essays and film by young women in their twenties and thirties. For the past ten months, we have been featuring essays and artwork of young women around the world in an effort to answer the question, “What defines your generation?” and to inspire people to take action on the vital social issues raised through this platform. From March to May 2007, the focus of the exhibit will be on Motherhood and the challenges that this generation faces. We want to reach out to young women to amplify their voices, talk about issues they face and focus on the issue from different perspectives– but really looking at personal stories. We would like to explore their views on maternal health, pregnancy, parenting, single motherhood, adoption, relationships, work and family and much more. Check out our site which features work from all over the world! Join the conversation and catalyze discussion for change!
I just made a blog. My posts aren’t long, but I assuage my guilt because of the fact that I am writing a comprehensive exam tomorrow. The post I will link to is about a scene in Montreal where police assaulted women demonstrating on International Women’s Day. Go figure. http://femanist.blogspot.com/2007/03/irony-of-state-coersion.html
Hey Zuzu, mind deleting comment 46? All that talk of anonymity was forgetton by my finger as it pushed the submit button before my brain could stop it. Thanks much!
My blog is extremely dull. As am I. Which means that you would be even less interested in reading it than you would think. I might, in fact, be the dullest man in America, when Dick Cheney is overseas. So do not read it. Really. You know enough dull-ass men.
If you google for “queer ethics” and “queer dharma”, my blog is among the first hits. I’m writing my thesis on the integration queer ethics and a certain vision of modern buddhism in the west (hence the queer dharma). In the meantime, I blog a lot about the experiences of self-queering practices which aim to destabilize my identity around the axis points of sexuality, gender, and desire, as well as deconstructing the alleged coherence of personal identity narrative. I’m also developing an hour long performative monologue on the same topics, and so I blog about that as well. Some recent posts to read: blogging against sexism it’s personal, but not individual My only caveat: you need a vox account to post comments.
