I would an eye in a Bengal light

A new journal/blog.
A new beginning.

I have some vague ideas of how I want to use this, and I do indeed want to use it. But first, I think I need to determine how I am using everything else. Let's see. There's I'm Just Not Impressed, my woefully underused politics/issues blog; Waisting Away, my similarly underused was-originally-weight-loss-but-I-found-HAES-along-the-way blog, and two LJs - one semi-public gothy/politics/life/random stuff journal which is connected to a lot of my public face for the past 15 or so years and one super sekrit place to hide.

And now this baby.

In my wildest fantasies, should I ever actually become a published author who anyone gives two whits about, this - tied as it is to my actual public persona on twitter and various blog comments - will become my public face.

But for now, who knows...

I know I've been quiet lately. But one of the things I've been doing is being more active in communities. My usual suspects are feminist_rage (where I'm also a mod), feminist , and increasingly, cf_debate .

A new one those communities is racism_101 , basically, a place for (white) folks fighting their way through their privilege to help each other learn how to "fail better next time." It is similar in that context to debunkingwhite , but is definitely more at the 101 level (similar to feminist_101  with a lot of questions and this-is-how-I-deal-with-this responses and disagreements and discussions). Right now it seems to be mostly a bunch of us who know each other within one or two degrees.

If it sounds like someplace that might be interesting, check it out, eh?
