While I'm immersed in writing, planning, and reflection and Alice is uncurling, other people are actually writing the sort of amazing posts that make the blogosphere such a valuable and powerful place to be. These are the sort of posts that make you look at the world a different way or that validate and crystallize the ideas that have been floating around in your head for days, months, or years.
Please go at least one of the following posts, and please add your own suggestions of the best of the blogosphere in the comment thread.
- Historiann's inspired series on Lessons for Girls. I particularly recommend Anger, Opting Out, and On Pity (h/t Zuska)
- Sheril Kirschenbaum on Motherhood, Identity, and Feminism (h/t DrugMonkey)
- Squadratomagico on "You don't have to be a mom" (h/t historiann)
- Isis on Boys Talk About How Girls Should Talk About Science
- And, of course, La Isis's phenomenal Letters to Our Daughters Project(I am waiting with bated breath for the next installment)
These posts remind me why the time I spend in the blogosphere is so worth it. Thank you.

When Dr. Isis first joined ScienceBlogs, she attracted attention with her bombastic commentary, gravity-defying shoes and a persona that steamrolled the stereotypical image of the safety goggle-wearing white male scientist. Those who oppose her are immediately forced to face their preconceived…
Well, that's quite a vigorous discussion we've all been having these past few days over proto-feminist d00ds, no? I am grateful to you all for your participation and for the many good suggestions made to help proto-feminist d00ds along the path of growth. In case some of you missed it, Comrade…
