Or rather, Web sites you should all visit at least once today. Why? Because they’re awesome, and they’ll either make you think or make you laugh or something in between.
Twitter | I’ve waxed lyrical about this micro-blogging/social network/whatever site before. If you’re asking why you should join Twitter, I really can’t say. What I can say is that if you join and start doing it, then you’ll understand. Twitter is a great way to spread information around (not just tell the world you ate the best PB&J sandwich in your life). So join, find some followers, and join in the conversation.
Every Saturday Morning | We’ve all heard from pro-lifers about the evils of abortion. But what about the clinic escorts? They wake up early every Saturday morning to lend support to those seeking abortions (for whatever reason) and to help protect women’s reproductive rights. See what’s it’s like on the other side of the protest. Maybe they’ll change your mind about a few things.
Jezebel | You say feminist like it’s a bad thing. This blog bills itself as Celebrity, Sex, Fashion for Women. Without Airbrushing., but don’t let that fool you. It also deals with such -ism issues as sexism, reproductive rights and sizism. Jezebel promotes the modern feminist idea that women are people and deserve to be treated as such. Come for the content, but stay for the comments. Jezzies (the commenters) aren’t afraid of a good debate or snarky comment. Also, don’t be surprised to see some men included in the regular commenters. I love this blog because it’s insightful. It makes me think, which I feel is never a bad thing.
The Daily Campus | Because, well, I work there.
Spotted: DC Summer Interns | Need a good laugh? Then you’ll enjoy the antics storied in this blog. My favorite entry so far details three interns talking about the birther issue on the metro:
Intern #1 (boy): “Geez, have you guys been getting bombarded by birther phone calls? They put me on phones for an hour yesterday and that was all I heard about.”
Intern #2 (boy): “I dunno—they don’t let me near the phone. Is your boss for it or against it?”
Intern #1: “Against what?”
Intern #2: “The birther issue. My boss is strictly conservative—so he’s pro-life.”
Intern #1: “Oh yeah—mine’s the same way. Totally supports Roe v. Wade.”
Intern #3 (girl): “Yeah, our office has had a lot of visits from the Pink Ladies. I think my boss is in favor of the birther issue too.”
FMyLife | You think your day was bad? Czech out some of these stories. If you’ve ever seen anyone on Facebook or Twitter use “FML,” you know they’re a fan of this Web site.
F*** Yeah! Ryan Gosling | Genius. Absolutely genius.
