I love it when we get new people here. I love it even more when they’re as awesome as Yemisi. I’ve only just started reading her and got sucked in the first night, ending up spending far more time with her words than I’d intended. She’s one of those bloggers who grabs my mind with …

No, Patheos, You Can’t Have These New Bloggers Either!
Huzzah, Miriam and Paul are here! And they are awesome. You should go read them if you haven’t already. Miriam does a lot of social justice, psychology, and other interesting bits. I’ll confess I’ve been spelunking her archives while I should have been doing Very Serious Work. I’m enjoying her a lot, and she’s another …

She’ll Make It a Country For Women
This is still kinda secret, because magic buttons haven’t been pressed in order to make her appear on the front page, but Taslima Nasreen has joined us, and she’s come out of the gate roaring. I’ll admit that I read her first post at work. I very nearly told the person who called in while …

The Obligatory Introductory Post, or “Just Who the Hell Are You?”
¡Bienvenidos a mi cantina! Mi casa es su casa. Pull up one of the nice comfy chairs, and have a beer. One thing you’ll discover is that geologists are mad for beer. It’s practically a job requirement. If, like me, you’re not quite so keen on beer, I’m assured that gin and tonic is just …

A Welcome to New Readers and Paeans to the Old
Oh, my. When one gets linked by PZ Myers, Maria Dahvana Headley, and Neil Gaiman in the course of a few days, traffic suddenly goes through the roof, and new readers show up. Allow me to quote Rowan Atkinson: “My god, there are a lot of you.” Let me just state this clearly and upfront: …
