who’da thunk it?
So I got the “Thinking Blogger” nod again, this time from Jessica at Daughter of Opinion. It made me feel terrible, because I’ve not been reading Jess’s blog as much as I once did, since my bloglines feed doesn’t seem to work, but she was one of my first blog-friends in this crazy old blog-o-sphere. Plus, she can make ya’ think like nobody’s business.
I did this meme last month, but I’m pleased to be able to do it again. Here are my five Thinking Bloggers for April–pass it on, kids!
- jo(e) from Writing as Jo(e), for her post River Birch
- Anjali from Life in the Hundred-Acre Wood for her post Neverland
- Grace from State of Grace for her post White Guy. It had to be
- Jason, blogging at Dadcentric, for his post The Lives of the Dead
- Laila from Raising Yousef for her post Terrorism, the Media & Virginia Tech
I have to say, I didn’t set out to collect a bunch of posts about the Virginia Tech shootings. I also didn’t blog about it, because I felt like there was so much interesting stuff already being said about it. I’m glad to do this sort-of mash-up, because I still haven’t really processed how I feel about the thing myself–saddened for the families of the victims, obviously, and tired of the crazy right-wingers who want every professor to start packing. At times like these, it’s good to have other bloggers to make you think.
