31 Days - Day 25 (Holy crap, less than week to go O_o)
25. Your 5 favorite blogs
Or at least 5 of my favorite blogs, because I don't think I could do 5 favorites overall. 5 by each category I divide my feedreader into yes, but 5 overall, not really so much. Although this does remind me that I keep meaning to do recs posts for my favorite food blogs and my favorite web comics, because those are what make up about 70% of my most read blogs in Feedly.
Oh Joy Sex Toy, which may be one of my most favorite things on the internet, period. Erica Moen (whose other work is also superfantasticgreat and you should go read it as soon as you're done with OJST) and her husband work together to produce comics about sex related stuff (not just sex toys, although who cares if the title is misleading because that is the BEST title) that are whimsical, sex-positive, AND super informative. I really don't think that it would be overstating the case to say that this comic has made Tuesday into one of my favorite days of the week.
Tom and Lorenzo which is totally a thing that I started reading because I wanted to look at pretty people in pretty clothing and then stayed for the commentary because they are both hilarious and very smart dudes. My favorite posts from them are the ones where they wind up talking about the strategies of celebrity, but they are consistently funny without being mean and even when I disagree with their style assessments, it's a fun time. (They also do good TV reviews for a few different shows. I don't watch any of them, but I sometimes find myself reading them just because dudes can write well.)
This Ain't Livin' which might actually be one of the blogs that I have followed for the longest, although it's not like I can check any more since Google reader bit the dust. *sob*Zie (S. E. Smith is pretty vocal about being genderqueer, although I can't for the life of me remember hir preferred pronouns /0\) Ou blogs on a variety of different topics, from gardening to YA novels to classism in the United States and the posts are always smart and interesting and usually range from 101 stuff to some really in-depth analysis, so there is usually always something for every level of understanding/interest in social justice issues when those are the topics of the day.
The Pervocracy is another blog that, like TLo, I came for one thing and stayed for another. In this case, I came for the monthly mocking of Cosmo magazine (which has trailed off in recent months, as the author of the blog is in nursing school) and stayed for the smart insights into sexuality and the other hilarious tidbits that popup from time to time. Right now I am being entertained/appalled by the 50 Shades of Grey recap that is going on, which is actually notable for not retreading the exact same ground that all the other 50 Shades of Grey recaps you've read have already tread. (Trod?)
And last, but not least, Adulting, which ranges from having practical tips about how to deal with everyday life to some really funny "tips" and generally makes me feel better about my own life all the time. Like, the author really seems to have her shit together, but she doesn't condescend in her writing about how much more she knows than you or pretend that everything in her life is always perfect. Instead it's more "Oh hey, here's this thing that may be useful to you!" and I love that.
You can come and talk to me at Dreamwidth too! (
