Like The antidote to social media is being more social...
"But the antidote is there. It's waiting. It's other people, in flesh and blood, without a mask, without an agenda. May we spread it with the same vigor we vested in the vaccines."

In recognition of International Women's Day I wanted to list the blogs I have in my RSS reader by female authors. I've stripped back my subscriptions recently but was still surprised that the number was so small:
My process for finding and following blogs is very organic: if I stumble across something and like it I'll follow it. I don't go out of my way to find any particular types of content.
This appallingly short list, however, shows the lack of diversity in my day-to-day reading.
Any additional recommendations for female authored blogs would be greatly received.

@colinwalker That's a great idea Colin and thanks for sharing these blogs. I just went through my list of feeds and found these blogs by female authors I like:
- JojoPerceives by Jyotsna
- Therapy with Colors by @therapywithcolours
- Life, Art & More by Ira
- Space articles by Tanya Harrison
- Climate Change by Sarah Kaplan
- Acute Whispers by @acutewhispers
- Muktapravah by Gauri
- Articles by Ru Singh
- Space opinion stories by Marina Koren
Despite the fact that this isn't an exhaustive list (not all places have RSS feeds), it's nevertheless unfortunately a very small list.
Thanks Jatan. I've come across Ru Singh before but the rest are new to me.

@colinwalker @uncertainquark thanks for sharing! In looking through my blogroll I notice a lot more newsletters written by women than blogs. Here are some other blogs by women I enjoy:
- Rebecca Toh – photographer
- Lucy Bellwood – illustrator and comic artist
- Reimena Yee – comic writer and artist
- Anna Havron @annahavron – self care and productivity
- A Purple Life – early retirement life
Topic focused blogs:
- The Aesthetics of Joy (Ingrid Fetell Lee) – finding happiness through improving your personal spaces
- McMansion Hell (Kate Wagner) – (hilarious) architectural critiques
- homeculture (Meg Conley) – cultural / political commentary centered on impacts to women
- Going Medieval (Dr. Eleanor Janega) – medieval history and commentary, correcting common misunderstandings
- Jami Gold – fiction writing / storytelling
Thanks Tracy. I follow Rebecca but she's sadly not posted for a while. I'll be sure to check out the others that I don't know.

I want to instigate some major changes to the blog and have a few ideas about how that could happen. I have been forced to question how and what I do here. Forced may seem a strong word is the context (more on that tomorrow) but I genuinely believe it's the right one; it was one of those real lightbulb moments.
I'm curious and excited as to where this could go.
