'Great Read' recommendation from a dear friend.

I was just named a 'Great Read' by my friend and fellow kinkster and blogger Padmeamidala, blogger of 'Journey To The Darkside'.

I really must thank her, because I have just started down this road, and am still very much a newbie at the whole 'blogging' thing. It was a bit of an emotional 'yay me!' thrill to be seen among those she thinks are worth reading.

Now I'm supposed to give you my Great Reads. I don't know if I have ten, but here goes:

- The Archdruid Report

- Survival Guide to Homelessness

- Journey To The Darkside

- Sapphire's View

- The Urban Survivalist

Five. Five are all I have.

But there are several fantastic progressive news sites that I think more people should read. I know they're not technically blogs, but c'mon, give 'em a look. You never know, you might learn something:

- Common Dreams

- Alternet

- Anti-war.com

- Counterpunch

- Oil Drum.com

And then there are the blogs on other networks:

- Ran Prieur

- Survival Topics

- SurvivalBlog.com

- Den of Geek

- Signs of The Times

- The Steampunk Workshop

There are several philosophical schools who say that you should learn something new everyday. Perhaps one of the sites I listed will do that for you.

Walk in peace.
