News Feeds that I read faithfully

This is a page that I have made up of various news feeds I follow. Mostly I read them on Livejournal or Dreamwidth, but I combine them all here so that you all can see them too. Maybe you can see why I like them so much.

I’m not including the ENTIRE article, only enough so that you want to go look a the full thing, so if you see something that stimulates your interest, please go and look at them. They will see the follow from my site to theirs, and I might get some traffic back here too.

This first feed is called “The Park Bench”. It’s a geek girl’s blog. I find it interesting as hell.

The next feed is “The Wild Hunt”. It’s a site by Jason Pitzl-Waters, a friend of mine and someone I’ve worked with in the past. He’s got a premier website dealing with news of interest to the Pagan community, and I suggest you all go read it.
