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:
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:
Topic focused blogs:
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.
