Hey friend, I was going to tweet this to see if we wanted to diablog about this, and then I decided hey, I’m just going to throw this up here and see if we can make it part of our diablog series! Look at me taking initiative! (Or am I procrastinating from other stuff I […]
I could say a lot more about comments here. I didn’t even discuss the problems with bad, as in disrespectful and disengaged, ones. I also didn’t talk about how comments remind us that this is a public blog, thereby encouraging us to be accountable for our words/actions. Hmm…maybe I want to briefly add that in […]
These brief comments can be hard! 150-200 words is pretty short. Why are instilling confidence and the desire to experiment with blogs important? One slogan kept coming up in our discussions about training and blogging pedagogy: “This isn’t a how-to manual; it’s an invitation to engage.” In fact, there can never be a comprehensive how-to […]
I see what you mean about having ultimate power! Muah ha ha! I don’t think we decided on a word count for our busting binaries or our accessibility sections that I am in charge of writing! **Imagine me sitting at my desk strumming fingers together diablogically…** I will try to keep this somewhere between over […]
We had an amazing meeting on Friday, so amazing that we had so many notes to write up which is why I wasn’t able to post until now! These notes might also be a little disjointed as SLP and I both mentioned that we were super tired from a long week of work and were […]

Kennedy’s article on blogging and virtual consciousness-raising (which you link to in your post) before our meeting on Friday. I like this passage: There are several specific ways in which blogging as a virtual […]
Here’s our plan: First, write a few paragraphs on the two questions that I posted on this comment: How does using blogs in the classroom and blogging while teaching enable you to access your feminist self/selves? What is/are your feminist self/selves? Any examples from your blogs? Second, read through past blog entries (on this blog […]
The theme for this week’s discussion was training. Without our new love, Snowball, we lacked the motivation to actually record our conversation. It’s too bad (imho) because we had some great things to say. Oh well. Here are the highlights (at least, the ideas that I can decipher from my very messy notes). 1. Blog […]
In Share This!, Deanna Zandt discusses the important role that sharing (particularly in the form of sharing stories/information/experiences) plays in social networks and social justice. At one point (I haven’t quite figured out how to cite kindle books yet…anyone?), she writes: …we’re not just consuming information; we’re sharing it, immediately and constantly. I like how […]
