Reading Blogs!
Nov. 23rd, 2009 10:36 pmBlogs that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Today I am not feeling so hot so I had some more time for blogs.
1. FWD: Feminists with Disabilities for a Way Forward
This is a high-output blog, so I recommend using the tags. Lately I have appreciated these articles in particular:
On Language, Again which is basically an ableist-language bingo card, with explanations for each of the counter-arguments
Disabled Sexuality and Disempowerment through fetishization
2. The Fat Nutrionist
I just started reading this blog, and I love it already.
3. Geek Feminism Blog
Have rec'd before, will rec again.

A blog that I am skeptical of is Bitch Magazine's new Sapphic Salon, about "queer women's representation in pop culture". I feel that my fannish friends list does a better job at analyis on this topic-- really about representation of marginalized groups in general-- than Bitch Magazine is doing, based on the one article linked above (about Adam Lambert's AMA performance and double standards). Seriously. Why are they quoting the View, instead of quoting various queer women? The women of the View already have a platform. Why don't they do any deconstruction or analysis of those arguments? I am spoiled by these other blogs, and by the journals that I read on LJ and Dreamwidth. (also, frankly, I find their blog navigation confusing.)
