With that, I bid a late farewell.

I am the person who was still making up six exams within three days of her high school graduation.

I pushed myself pretty hard these last two weeks, and never quite got to the posts I was planning on writing here. :) And ended up with a couple contentious threads, leading to some, um, not so nice attacks. But I think we had several really good discussions, and I got to hear from a lot of people I hadn’t seen around much before. And I think that’s a great outcome.

Check me out at my homeblog, Three Rivers Fog. Add the RSS feed here! You can also find me on Tumblr (which is updated much more regularly than my main blog, with photos, quotes and other snippets). There are some unfinished posts from my time guest-blogging here that I’ll be putting up on 3rf soon.

This coming Friday, July 17th, is actually my second anniversary blogging in the feminist-o’sphere. I do want to take a moment to thank everyone who has stopped by to read my sometimes-muddled writing, and especially the people who have taken time to comment on it, email me about it or write their own posts in response. I love to see these conversations happening, and it heartens me to know that at least someone can see part of their experiences being represented in the larger political conversation.

I haven’t always responded to the various comments and blog posts — I am somewhat of a flake, in part because of my disability, but in part just because that’s what I am — but I do see them, I read them, and I appreciate them so much more deeply than I can express here. You are all awesome, awesome people. Keep speaking out. It is so refreshing to hear your voices. It’s what I live on.

I’ll see y’all around. Drop by once in awhile!

Aw no, I can’t believe your two weeks are up already! Well, granted, that might be a bit of a relief for you ;) But I for one have certainly loved having you around. Your posts were great!

I just love the people who show up out of the woodwork to comment here… so many different subjects I wanted to get to, but only so much time, and it does take a lot out of me when it’s not one of those rare posts that flows from the brain without my even having to really think about it.

I’ma miss posting here :) But I’ll still be around, either way. You can’t get rid of me!

Thanks for your posts amandaw!
I don’t think I commented on any of your posts here (or much of anywhere recently, really), but I always enjoyed your posts and found them incredibly informative. I’ll be checking out your home blog.

Thank you for stopping by with your posts! I enjoyed reading them, and gave me a lot to think about. You’ve also inspired me to continue writing my zine about disability and relationships. I’ll be following your personal blog!
