Pam's House Blend is one of my daily absolute must-reads. Her take on all things anti-gay, anti-black and anti-woman is smart, insightful and devastating. I've borrowed her phrase “wingnuts” here and linked to her site more frequently that just about any other except the Post-Gazette.
The Washington Blade offers up a feisty look at what makes the House Blend tick and what ticks her off. She's labeled “the most important lesbian blogger in America” and attracts 3,000 unique visitors a day. As an African-American lesbian, her voice is especially unique and a necessary part of the contemporary gay experience.
Given the dearth of LGBT women's voices in the blogosphere (both among gay blogs and feminist blogs), Pam's House Blend sets the bar high for the rest of us. And I prefer it that way.
I'm heading off to Left Coast Crime tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to discovering new authors, purchasing some duracell batteries, re-connecting with friends and meeting new people. I'm going to try to post updates and pictures while there, but as it goes with most conventions, down time is at a minimum.
