Womanist Musings: Drop It Like It’s Hot

Saturday, May 8, 2010

Hello everyone, and thanks for yet another interesting week of conversation. The blog was once again invaded by a bunch of unscrupulous trolls and I would like to thank you not only for your patience, but for ignoring their vitriolic comments. I was forced to close two threads this week and I am sorry about that, but the threads became to much for me to moderate. I think that the worst is now over and that we can once again engage in the difficult conversations that have become the norm for WM.

Please do not be scared off by the troll invasion, it is to be expected when a blog does not shy away from the so-called controversial subjects. It is my belief that if we simply pretend these issues don’t exist, no significant change can ever be made. If you would like to participate in widening the conversation here at WM, please feel free to send me a link or your original work via e-mail. The more voices speaking, the better the conversation is.

Below you will links to a few (okay a lot) of great posts that I came across this week. Please show these bloggers some love and check them out. When you are done, don’t forget to drop it like it’s hot and leave your link behind in the comment section.
