"Senoritas, I feel for you"...

Right. So my very, very annoying depression is going up and down all the time, each period lasting from everything from a day or a couple of weeks. I'm currently in one of my good periods, where I'm sad, true, but do believe that I can do something about my issues and that if I just keep fighting, sooner or later things will brighten up, wohooo!

Sociological Images is, I believe, run by a sociology professor. It's one of my favorites - a great application of sociology to everyday stuff like advertisements.

Oh, that one sounds really interesting! I've started to gain an interest in advertisement and the communication used :D

Let me throw a bunch of feminist and/or sex-positivity blog links at you: The Curvature, Feministe, Yes Means Yes, Let The Eat Pro-SM Feminist Safe Spaces, Sex Nerd, Tiger Beatdown, and Clarisse Thorn (who has a definite BDSM slant, but a lot of interesting thoughts regardless of whether or not you're into that).

Bwah, almost forgot Forward. I've only recently started looking around the blogosphere at disability issues, largely as a result of dealing with my own ongoing anxiety/depression, so it may be particularly relevant for you as well (though the blog discusses all sorts of different disabilities). I wish I had more good links along these lines, but I've only recently started exploring the topic in any kind of depth. I've got a post on mental illness and defining 'disability' brewing in me, but who knows if said depression will allow me to get around to actually writing that. Anyway, the Let's Bust Some Myths entry on depression was particularly resonant for me personally.

Oh great, thanks! Disability issues is something I need to educate myself a lot on, so this is great :D

And yeah, maybe this sort of blogs can have interesting insight in my issues and give my inspiration - that's a really good idea.

And I do hope you'll get around to write that post :D ♥

Thanks for all of these! They are def. all worth taking a closer look :)
