                                **I also just enjoy engaging my friends from back home in their thoughts or tweets.  Now that I am going back at my twitter I see that I have recently been talking about Real Housewives of Atlanta QUITE A BIT—so please excuse my addiction to the franchise!  Ha!                         

***College News Issues from 1982:  archived from the college’s special collections digital archive

                *I think that the historical nature of these documents allows us to see the intergenerational cycle of Bryn Mawr—maybe I should try to find some other archives this summer?  I also liked these because they were not as “normative” as the bi-college news, however always need to be aware that these opinions are still being us a limited and provincial scope—as I am sure the staff was predominately white.

Beyonce Interview:  This isn’t the original one that I saw, but her discussion about the making of “Partition” how it was organic/spontaneous and the fear she felt after when she listened to her words.  Very conscious of her language and the image she was giving herself:

I also frequent the blog:  www.blackgirldangerous.org A LOT—I honestly don’t agree with her a lot of the time, but I just enjoy her writing and authenticity.

Katie says that I should give my list of sites that I go to pretty much every day.  She always tells me that the first time she saw me do this so quickly, she was amazed haha!  They are pretty much the sites that I use to go on at MSNBC—some of them are crazy republican sites aka my favorites!  It is difficult for me to remember specific articles that I read, but these sites give me regular info on the world but also different perspectives on current discourse in the public sphere.

www.salon.com

www.theatlantic.com

www.thedailybeast.com

www.thedailycaller.com

www.huffingtonpost.com

www.jezebel.com I have grown to really dislike jezebel but I still go on just to make me angry

www.gawker.com both gawker and jezebel have great comment sections—sometimes I just read conversations instead of the article if I am already familiar with the topic

www.colorlines.com

www.autostraddle.com

***It is important for me to note that these sites often have links to articles in other places and I find many articles/opinions through re-tweets on twitter.

Through the list I am realizing the temporality of voices on the internet, who has authority, who is given merit—this might be an interesting topic to discuss in relation to identity, but also accessibility of navigating the internet.
