Today is Blogroll Amnesty Day! According to Jon Swift, Blogroll Amnesty Day is a day when we celebrate smaller blogs by linking to a few. It's a way to sort of "spread the wealth" by linking to other liberal or progressive blogs and showcase them. For a fuller explanation, you can go to this post at Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo.
Anyway, I am proud to be a part of Blog Amnesty Day. I have linked to the following smaller or newer blogs, and I urge you to go over and give them a try. They are:
Wild Chihuahuas - this blogger hails from Arizona and is always on target with her progressive message (and she has some great dogs).
True Blue Texan - this blogger wants to do her part to turn Texas blue.
The Osterly Times - the voice of reason from London, England.
Social Seppuku - this leftist blog from Austin will celebrate one year in April.
seeing purple politics - this Houston blogger is a voice for moderate Democrats.
Lotus-Surviving a Dark Time - aging hippie political activist with an anarchist bent.
La Sanbe - a progressive voice from Laredo.
Janet Morrison's Community Dialogue - a Dallas blog seeking social justice.
Eddie Griffin (BASG) - you get brutal honesty from this Ft. Worth blogger.
David Ortez - a young Hispanic's perspective on political & social issues.
BlackAmarillo - the African-American voice of the Texas Panhandle.
And Here's My Opinion - a new Texas blog with a lot of promise.
I was supposed to pick at least five blogs to link and promote. I guess I went a little overboard, but I like these blogs and I think they all deserve more readership. Give some or all of them a try. You might find something special.
Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't care for the roots of BAD (It seems to me it really got started 'cause skippy got pissed off that he was among those Atrios dropped; I sincerely wonder if he'd have made nearly as big a deal out of it if he'd made the cut.) but the way it's developed into a way to push and mutually support small blogs (Another sidebar: Are skippy and Blue Gal, both of who average well over 1000 hits a day, really "small?") is really great.
I haven't done my part; I got tied up yesterday with real life stuff and didn't get to post, but I will later today. My only problem is that you're supposed to plug blogs with less traffic than your own and I don't know who among my list fits that description. So I expect that like you, I'm just going to be satisfied with the adjective "small" and not care if it should be, compared to me, "smaller."
Thanks again for the support. :-)
Thanks for the support ... I am honored! :-)
