Gogo of Juicybomb put up a list of her Ten Favorite Blogs, and that seemed like a good idea so I followed suit. I tend to like people with strong perspectives that are different than me, whose posts make me think, or who find things I don't find myself. I am less likely to seek out purely fashion blogs, if only because I already spend a lot of Linden in Second Life with the store information I get now!
Selecting just ten is hard and I follow most of the blogs on my sidebar pretty regularly, which is why they organize by last post date (I start where I remember leaving off and go up), so I'll stick with some of the odder ones I like which I think should get a wider audience.
The person whose blog I always check multiple times is Emerald's Eyes, but that's because I find her really funny and we made friends through blog (my only blog-to-world friend; so cool!).She's been quiet lately, but she really makes me laugh - her style reminds me a lot of The Bloggess and Hyperbole and a Half.
I've grown really fond of Salome Says; long, substantive posts, and I really like the chatty podcasts. I don't always agree with what she says, but she makes me think and I really value that.
Whiskey Shots does gorgeous pictures, and when she has something to say it's usually interesting. Sometimes it feels like she's giving perspective under pressure - especially with her recent posts which go more into her own life.
The Trainwreck Love Life covers a lot of stuff, not always SL related. I tend to follow all of her links, and I often enjoy her recordings of conversations and commentary on them.
Across the Grid with Lindal Kidd has a great perspective and really engaging posts. Again, she has more of an educator's perspective, and often brings up aspects of identity and details of mainland exploration, which is not a strong point of mine.
The Poultry Report which is awesome for finding events and a very different perspective from mine. She has more of an event planner and sim designer focus, and I find that fascinating.
Honours Post-Menopausal View is my go-to blog for finding beautiful places in Second Life, followed closely by Yse SLiffeuse et Gloddeuse. Nine times out of ten, if I'm in a gorgeous place I found it from them, and that's a glorious thing.
For thinking I won't always agree with but at least I'll be thinking, I tend to go to Botgirl's Identity Circus and What is this Crap? I sometimes strongly disagree with both, but when I have the energy for it I like the challenge of things that are intelligent but that I disagree with. The issue of how to disagree with people while still honoring them and valuing their perspective looms large in my consciousness right now.
