It wouldn't have to be a space where you wrote a lot, or kept writing in perpetuity. You just sound like you have relevant stuff to say that is actively being stifled, because of conflicting interests and because a lot of activism these days is toothless and ineffective but how dare anyone admit that?

It wouldn't have to be a journal that allows comments. :) Or is linked to you.

I just - it kills me that organizations that are mobilizing money and resources supposedly to help poor and oppressed people can afford to not listen to them, and the internet is only sometimes any good at exposing that hypocrisy.

Aww, well. It's definitely something I'll consider doing in the future. I know it's super frustrating that there are so few people posting worthwhile sj stuff online.

Organizations and movements are great, but they tend to represent only the 'average member', and all the people who don't fit that average get left out in the cold.

Yes, and if you do, plz poke. If you know/respect other people online that are talking about some of these things, links would also be love. (I'm sort of going "what is sex-shaming in anti-racist circles?" but I don't mean to pepper you with questions.)

See. If activist communities were about people fighting their own oppression, that might be a reasonable bias. It's unacceptable when you have, to use an entirely too-common example, middle class people "fighting homelessness."

If I do I'll definitely poke you! :D Unfortunately I don't have any links on me since I'm not on my main computer and I can't remember the names of any of the bloggers I've followed. But there was a thread not to long ago that had links to a few really awesome writers. I'm sure if you asked the GC section tomorrow they'd be able to point you in the right direction.

Okay, yeah. I'll probably poke around and see if I can find it first, and ask for help if that doesn't work.
