Once again: not a real post

If I’m not going to post a blog (and apparently I’m not) then I could at least put in a little effort to share some of the blogs I’ve read and liked lately.

• Just what I needed… additions to my travel wishlist!
  On the Luce: My European rail journey wishlist:
  http://ontheluce.com/2014/03/27/european-rail-journey-wishlist/

 

• Weird Al takes on Word Crimes… and makes me so happy in the process! Thanks for bringing this to my attention, 101 books. (This also makes me want to go watch “White and Nerdy” again, by the way.)

 

• No, you’re not. And neither am I. And we would all drive each other less crazy if we remembered it occasionally.
  Madsiers: You are not alone:
  http://madsiers.com/2014/06/11/you-are-not-alone/

 

• I don’t know Aussa, but I love her anyway…
  HACKER. NINJA. HOOKER. SPY.: 7 Ways Your Life is Like High School
  http://aussalorens.com/2014/02/05/i-hate-my-job/

 

• Because dating is crazy anyway, let alone when the guy is…
  days like crazy paving: A letter to that Nice Guy I ignored that one time
  http://jaythenerdkid.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/a-letter-to-that-nice-guy-i-ignored-that-one-time/

 

• Because it does.
  The Daysman: Why marriage matters:
  http://blog.thedaysman.com/2014/06/27/why-marriage-matters/

 

• Because there are all kinds of mother’s day stories…
  Living, Loving, Laughing: A Letter to the Mother of my Step Children
  http://youthinkyoucanblog.com/2014/05/08/a-letter-to-the-mother-of-my-step-children/

 

And because over half the population of the earth shouldn’t have to carry around a subtle (and sometimes overt) worry about their safety/fear being violated. To the point that this shouldn’t even be a thing that has to be talked about… but we do… and so it is… and so we must (and I’m glad some do).
Some are quite eloquent, all are thought-provoking…
