I know I haven't updated in a frighteningly long time and that's not very likely to change any time soon, but in the meanwhile, here are some websites that I think some of you would appreciate:
The ONE Campaign (www.one.org)-- "The ONE Campaign is a new effort to rally Americans to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. Each ONE of us can make a difference. Together as ONE we can change the world." Go to the site, sign their petition, email your friends. If the folks in charge won't do anything about it, we certainly can.
This is Not Over (www.thisisnotover.com)-- If you are at all unhappy with the current administration (and I sense some of you are) or the general scary trend some current events have been taking lately, check out this website. Started by the sharply clever Sarah Bunting of TomatoNation-- (www.tomatonation.com--absolutely fantastic essays)--and other equally talented writers, This is Not Over searches the Internet for any and all pertinent articles about what's going on in our world that we ought to know about but doesn't always make the nightly news. They also provide email addresses, phone numbers, and petitions so no one has to go silent.
The National Women's History Project (www.nwhp.org)-- The founders of this site are the blood and guts behind the formation of March as National Women's History Month. For educators especially, the biographies they provide about underrecognized women are a wonderful resource.
And just for fun:
Go Fug Yourself (gofugyourself.typepad.com)-- Ever wonder how celebrities can get away with setting the most god-awful trends when you know you could look ten times better in that outfit you got on sale at Marshall's? Writers Heather and Jessica wonder that too. And boy do they have vicious fun cutting down our pop culture idols to mortal size.
Enjoy, everybody! I'll be back someday. :)
