Thanks to hosts Jill, Cara, Holly, Jack, Lauren, piny and kactus for inviting me to join you and some truly excellent guest bloggers this summer! This has been inspiring, educational, and fun.
Also thanks to the Feministe commenters for some stimulating discussion. This group really kept me on my toes (except for when I wasn’t on them) and the quality of the commentary and camaraderie of the community has been quite impressive. I’d love to see some of you over at my joint if you’d ever like to stop by.
It’s been fun posting alongside some folks whose blogs I’m definitely going to be checking out. And after taking a peek at the upcoming guest bloggers, I’m looking forward to seeing what else goes down here this summer.
For all who haven’t seen it yet, here’s something I wrote about how the revelations of Edwards’ cheating effects Obama’s campaign via Elizabeth Edwards.
You are maybe the best feminist blogger around, Octo, and certainly the smartest. Great work!
You’ve been my favorite guest blogger so far! Great job!!!
Swan — that’s an interesting take. I hope after a short cooling period, Elizabeth Edwards will indeed have a significant role in politics and health care reform. But you make a good point.
Daisy and Pop Feminist — wow, you are way too kind. The two of you are making my day. Daisy — I cannot wait until your guest blogging begins!
Aww, damn. So soon? It’s not often I have the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with a real bonafide capitalist! See you back at your gig!
Let me join in the kudos, Octagalore. I first found you through comments on Apostate’s website (hey, Feministe editors, how about her for a guest blogger?) and have always found you EMINENTLY sensible. Sensible as a feminist’s footwear, you are. (Joke.)
I will be seeing you on your blog Octagalore…
Thanks for blogging with us, Octo!
(And MizDarwin, we’ve discussed the possibility of Apostate guest-blogging here in the comments elsewhere, and this Feministe editor says it ain’t going to happen — though I’d really prefer to not go into that yet again. That being said, we always welcome these types of suggestions for guest-bloggers. We’re only human and sometimes miss really great writers out there!)
Thanks, La Lubu, Renee, MizDarwin and Cara! Renee, coincidentally I was just at your place, enjoying this one. La Lubu, looking forward to your guest blogging stint! MizDarwin — sensible: I like that! Although all my footware might not be called sensible by some…
YAY, OCTO!
Apostate would be AWESOME!
aw crap. sorry i got so behind, Octo, will be catching up on your threads–congrats and good show!
Octo, you were fucking great!
