Hey, you’re still coming here! That’s sweet.
Seriously, I’m sorry that we’re in another blogging furrow. Now that I’m at a writing rather than a reading stage of my dissertation, the thought of additional writing makes me feel tired. (On the plus side, I have started reading for pleasure again.) Hopefully I’ll be able to get into a groove where I can do both; don’t delete me from your RSS just yet.
Anyway, sorry for the fake-out, but this isn’t a real entry. I only logged on to make sure you all know about Modern Mitzvot, the newest blog by (in part) Girl Detective. It’s a blog about Jewish social and political issues, or more accurately, social and political issues seen from a Jewish perspective. I’m not Jewish,* but I find the site really thought-provoking, especially regarding Israeli and Palestinian issues; two of the best entries so far have been about the definition of Zionism, and a proposed solution for those who want to visit Israel without supporting the occupation. So don’t think me a bad person when I tell you that the entry that finally got me off my duff to add it to my blogroll was a brief, impassioned plea for Jews not to eat giraffes just because they’re kosher. If you plan to read only fourteen sentences this year, you’ll find them there.
*In junior high a classmate did call me a Jew, pejoratively.
The sad thing is I do still glance at this now and then, in the forlorn hope that you will one day update. Missing you and J!!!

Hey, awesome work in the Yglesias thread on women in the workplace and childcare. Usually any Yglesias thread on gender turns into a wretched hive of scum and villainy, but you beat the trolls back good. Also, I hope your dissertation went/is going well.
I don’t think I’ll be adding this blog to my RSS feed, though. (Partly because I don’t have one.)
