Anyone know what’s going on with Half Changed World<\/a> and Democracy Arsenal<\/a>? Two of my favorite blogs which haven’t had new posts in nearly two weeks…. (UPDATE: I have no idea why my browser wasn’t refreshing – there are plenty of new posts at both DA and HCW. Oy.).<\/p>\n

Anyhow, if you haven’t been reading these blogs, go over and check out their archives – it’ll be worth your while. Half Changed World deals with social policy and social science, from a feminist mom perspective, and Democracy Arsenal covers foreign policy from a progressive perspective (Susanne Nossel’s posts are especially good).<\/p>\n

And A Couple of New Blogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another good blog – one that’s new to me – is Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty<\/a> by occasional “Alas” contributor Reddecca. She has a recent post about abortion and Down syndrome<\/a>, galvanized by the recent discussion, which “Alas” readers may want to check out. There’s also a lot of interesting posts about the lives of the woman profiled each day in the “feminist of the day” segment, and a refreshing lack of partisan loyalty – Reddecca doesn’t hesitate to criticize sexism on the left.<\/p>\n

And, finally, Salon<\/em>‘s new blog focused on women and women’s issues, Broadsheet<\/a>, seems pretty good to me – the stories they’re covering are worth reading about, and it’s better-written than most blogs, although I’d prefer it to be a tad less slick\/professional and a tad more of an individual voice. Still, so far it looks like a good moderate-liberal blog with a real concern for women; why so many of Salon<\/em>‘s readers consider that a horrible thing<\/a> is a mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
