Both Jon Swift and Skippy are spearheading a regular event, Blogroll Amnesty Day, in which we recognize and acknowledge the breadth and depth of blogtopia (yes, we all know who coined that term!). It’s today! You are encouraged to scout out new blogs, get out of old ruts, and explore new or otherwise unfamiliar blogs, add them to your bookmarks, or if you have a blog yourself, add them to your blogroll.
It feels strange to admit this, but Pharyngula seems to have somehow become a moderately big fish in the blogosphere — it was, once upon a time, just a little frivolous exercise I was running on my personal computer, and now it has become a big frivolous exercise running on a professional network. And how did it get there? Nobody succeeds in the blogosphere without making connections, lots of connections, and joining in the spirit of profligately linking to sources everywhere … and getting linked to in return. All the big dogs get that way by growing from small beginnings with the help of a community of readers — and once you’ve grown large, that does not mean your obligations to that community end.
So in that spirit, I make it easy to join the Pharyngula blogroll. Just leave a comment on this post with a link to your page, and I’ll toss your syndication link into my newsreader. There is no requirement that you link back to me.
There are a few restrictions.
-
A blog must have syndication — RSS or atom. Almost all blogs do nowadays, so it’s not much of a limitation. I do all of my blogreading with a newsreader rather than a web browser, so this is essential.
-
I actually read the blogs on my blogroll, so if you’re some right-wing creationist nutcase, I may look once or twice for the amusement value, but I won’t keep you on the list for long. Really, my blogroll may be open, but I do have some standards.
-
I am ruthless about pruning the blogroll, too. It doesn’t matter how good you are, if you don’t update more than once a month, you get culled. If you turn into a right-wing creationist nutcase, a kiddie porn purveyor, or just get really, really boring, you will get removed.
-
I get a lot of requests, so I’m going to be picky and insist that you enroll by leaving a comment on threads that announce an open enrollment. Requests get lost in my mail flood, otherwise, and it helps if I’ve got them all in one place.
-
Blogs will get added immediately to my newsreader and enter my reading lists right away. However, the public blogroll that you can see on the web only gets updated intermittently. It’s actually a bit out of date right now; the scripts I use to convert my newsreader file to html broke when I updated my laptop to Mac OS X Leopard. Have no fear, though, I’ve got curl sucking away in the background as I type this, bringing in a php upgrade.
-
Be interesting to me.
See, that’s not hard! Go ahead, leave me a link in the comments.

I do have an Atom feed through Blogger. Just don’t know how to use it. I put that above post in it. I think. :)
And, for the record, I’m a socially-moderate, open-minded yet entirely pissed-off Eisenhower Republican who has no truck with religion, creationism or fantasy-thinking and actually believes in a properly run government instead of this Reagan legacy cluster-fuck piece-of-crap with the theocratic Republicans and Neville Chamberlain Democrats.
I try to do at least one, hopefully two posts, a day. Some are madder than others. :)
And, yes, I really am Neurotic.

JJR says
I don’t update nearly enough to qualify for the blogroll.
It takes a lot of stamina, good ideas, and dedication to be a successful blogger, so my hat’s off to PZ. Many atheists I meet know and love this blog.
I do a topical blog on Library issues, but I only update infrequently. I sometimes piddle with MySpace, but I don’t take it seriously…though sometimes I post rough drafts of essays that become refined posts somewhere else. Or just blog about whatever.
I haven’t updated my LiveJournal in several months.
Topical blogs are the way to go, though. One blog for one person about anything and everything is too random to be much fun, either for readers or the author after a time.
Because I do update my topical blog on Library issues so infrequently, I’m always amazed when I still run into readers who want to strike up a conversation about something I wrote or pay me a compliment, etc.
Blogging is basically (semi-)professional writing…almost like being an independent columnist, and it takes dedication and regular production to do it and do it well. You don’t get paid–unless you generate enough traffic to lure advertisers I guess. But it’s also way more effective at reaching a mass audience than old fashioned newsletters mailed out from a home printing press.
The 18th century had pamphleteers…the 21st century has blogs.
I always check in on PZ’s blog every few days.

Though I’m a little embarrased, since the latest 3 posts are just briefly responding to things I read first here. :) That isn’t normally the case.
Best recent post was about the outrageous blowhardary of conservative priest Richard Neuhaus, who thinks the only good atheist is one writhing in despair and regret at their inability to share in the wondrous bounty of Catholicism. I mean, literally: the person he quotes approvingly literally imagines that as how atheists in “good faith” should act.

Well, I guess your pruning rule disqualifies me (not that the others wouldn’t, necessarily). I try not to make many posts, especially since few people read my blog, and I try to only make more entries when I think they will be useful for a long time. Otherwise, I’d have tons of posts that no one looks at instead of maybe 10 that actually do get looked at by people who come across my site.

It is slightly ironic that the last post on it is a firm statement that the recent hiatus is now over. That was in September last year…
Actually I have written a couple of articles since then on a community magazine site spanning the nontheist discussion forums. It’s called Nontheist Nexus; you good people should go check it out.

# 2 Sounds a little disengenuous being a Eisenhower
Republican who has no truck with religion. Eisenhower is
the one who enthusiatically signed the bill putting
“In god We Trust on all US coins. This alone places him
in ignominious regard as it should rightly be. This is an
item and reminder that we see every day and one that just
rankles my sensitivity to all things that stink of religion. With one stroke of his pen he had subjected us to
continual reminder that we are not guided by reason. The
action will probably last forever as the usage of coin
will not be eradicated nor its message.

Tom Tancredo’s 5 point plan to build a secure border with landmines that actually explode, I welcome you to stop by and join the discussion and consider Joining our Loving, Christian Community.
We have only a few topics that cannot be discussed due to heavy Youth Group activity, including: condoms, Ms magazine, evolution other than Darwinism, NASCAR numbers 19 and higher (especially 24), hip hop music, rap music, urban music, urban rap music, pedophilia, Catholicism, pre-marital sex, sex with animals, sex between unmarried animals, Muslim and the Muslims who believe in it, and a few other topics.

PZ Myers says
If you used to be on the blogroll, but aren’t now, just resubmit. I really am terribly ruthless about expunging entries: I ask my newsreader who hasn’t posted anything in 30 days, and poof, they’re gone. Clickety-click.
Also, my newsreader can be fooled. If you change your url, or if you’ve just changed your newsfeed, it can lose you, and then, savage brute that I am, I don’t even check. I just kill your blog. Bang bang.
Sorry, but it’s the necessities of maintaining an excessively large blogroll.
PZ Myers says
No, the blog doesn’t have to be in English, although it should be in a language Google translation tools can handle. I’ve got an “International” section in the blogroll that contains some of those furriners (I can read a little German, though, so I can sorta make sense of those).

I very much appreciate your posts on the struggle of science against the idiot creationists.

Thanks for doing this! My blog is Exploring Our Matrix, so named because it started as an opportunity to talk about some of my side interests, such as religion and science fiction. But it then grew into a forum in which religion and science, video game parodies, and advocacy of a theological outlook opposed to fundamentalism are also included.
The address of the blog is http://exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com
I hope that, even though you do not share my religious outlook, the arguments against pseudoscience and critical evaluation of the claims of young-earth creationists and cdesign proponentsists will keep me from being deleted…at least for a while! :)

My blog “The View from Here” is generally about the irrational aspects of all religions with emphasis on the atheist viewpoint.

While not wishing to be another Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch fame, I am particularly down on all aspects of Islam which I feel represents a very real threat to Western values of freedom, democracy and separation of church and state.

I run a semi-amusing and only mildly interesting tumblelog at http://ofvarieddelights.com which my Mom says is the best blog she has ever seen. And I don’t think she would lie.

Hi PZ,
I can’t turn down an opportunity like this. My name’s James Cronen, and I’m a physics teacher and overall good guy who recently re-launched his blog.
I write about physics, education issues, technology, presenting physics ideas to non-physicists, and other random junk. I’m a big advocate for teaching physics to all, even if just conceptually, and I think the world would be a much better place if everyone thought like scientists. (Duh!)
Here’s the URL: http://www.jamescronen.com
Enjoy!

My blog is about everything I’m interested in, including life in Akron OH, politics, the Kinks, theatre, green issues and atheism. I’m a drama teacher and I love to read science blogs. You’ve been in my reader since I first set it up — I’d be honored to be in yours.

I write on feminism, progressive politics, parenting, and the occasional cat at Kittywampus.
I’m a non-sciencephobic women’s studies instructor and a mere agnostic (but a staunch anti-theocrat).
And I’m gonna keep reading you and linking to you whether you add me or not. Just yesterday your post on truck nutz inspired me to reflect on their deeper meanings. :-)

Hey PZ, many thanks for your generosity, also for using “profigately” in a positive sense, as it’s one of my favorite words. Thanks also for today’s post on cells/casinos, which helped move along a completely unrelated train of thought I was entertaining.
As to whether I’m entertaining enough to stay blogrolled, I make no guarantees, but I do what I can.

Anyway, mine is here.

Circe says
It’s me. I moved/renamed my blog a while back. I’m currently taking a Biology and Biology Lab class so my blog is all fraught with, you know, science-y words and stuff.

Shawn Wilkinson says
Classes keep me busy (2 senior labs, undergradtuae physics research project, finisihing the loose ends of a senior thesis in chemical physics, and finishing my language unit), but this “Mardi Gras break” has allowed me to finish working on those to HOPEFULLY allow me to update my webblog more than once a month.

Hope the Pharyngulers enjoy! :)
alison says
I lurk here lots & thoroughly enjoy reading your site & many of the others that you link to. I know I’m not in the same league – but if you do want to add the ‘Bioblog’ it’s aimed at senior secondary school biology students (although I’d like to think it’s read more widely than that!): http://sci.waikato.ac.nz/bioblog – sorry, I’m a teckonological incompetent & I’m not sure if we have an RSS feed yet (blush)

defaithed says
What timing – I had just started putting together my online outpost:
http://www.defaithed.com/
The subtitle is “A layman’s journey from religion to reason”. Yes, there’ll be just the sort of commentary on religion that you’d expect from a site named “Defaithed”. But I’ll be keeping the tone positive by focusing on what’s really important to me: the world of science and reason, which is just jaw-droppingly fantastic, even for a laboratory-less layman.
While there’s not much there yet, there will be. I can thank my addiction to Pharyngula (and its allied sites) for giving me the impetus to finally write.
defaithed says
Sorry, I should add to my earlier post:
The full RSS feed URL, should a newsreader require the extra appendage, is:

On the small chance that you read down this far:
One post per day. Every day. 100-200 carefully chosen original words.
If one theme it is marketing hype. Where economics meets evolutionary psychology.
Plus the usual subjects described above. Science. Stats. Religion. etc.

PZ had posted my squid in a suit poster here once before, but just to be sure I’m properly on the bandwagon with everyone else my site is nocommercialpotential.net.
It contains a significant amount of cephalopod content. Including today’s post and this bit of tentacled political activism.

It’s new, and it’s pretty much meant to log my attempts to get over it all, and my self-analyses of what’s going on. As such, it (should) only be stuff connected with the obvious topic. I’ll make a new blog if I want to chat about what I had for dinner (a-hahaha..yeah, right). I’m fairly constantly writing down stuff about it, so I might as well publish it. Depending on your neuroscience interests, it may be more interesting to your psychological comrades than you.

The Christian SETI Alliance says
The Christian SETI Alliance (http://christianseti.blogspot.com) is devoted to the proposition that Young Earth Creationists possess a medieval and hugely embarrassing worldview by insisting that the Earth is the only possible location for life in a universe of around eighty billion galaxies. The author, a Christian trenchantly opposed to Young Earth Creationism, reflects on how a literacy in Science aids and enhances a sense of the numinous.
Lastly, an invitation is made to join our BOINC distributed computing group at SETI@Home to help search for alien life elsewhere in the Universe.

That’s wonderful, especially the last phrase…random biological ejaculations…
You should win the sexy atheist award just for that choice of words. :)
I can’t enter the atheist competition…I’m more of a goddess worshiping kind of girl.
But, I would like to request space on your blogroll and would also like to add you and your ejaculatory self to my blog roll if this post isn’t too late and you haven’t moved on to other topics.
I’ll definitely be back as you’ve put a little smile on my face which has left me feeling curious about what else lurks here and there on this blog.
