New Blog: Official Shrub.Com Blog

Posted by Ampersand | December 1st, 2005

New to me, anyhow - Official Shrub.Com Blog is actually several months old, but I somehow have missed it up until now. (Hey, remember when the feminist blogosphere was so tiny that it was possible to read all the feminist-focused political blogs? Hell, when “Alas” started, it sometimes felt like it was the only politically-focused feminist blog.)

Frankly, I usually ignore blogs with names like this - partisan bashing doesn’t appeal to me much. But Shrub.com is thoughtful, well-written, and spends a lot more time talking about feminism than talking about Dubya. I noticed it yesterday when I was reading every link I could find about that Linda Hershman essay - OS.CB had what I thought was the best post criticizing Hershman.

    The Shrub is great. The fact that the feminist blogging community has expanded so much is also great, even if it does mean there’s too much to read.

    I was wondering where my sudden influx of comments came from… Thanks for the link, Amp! I’ve loved your site for the longest time.

    Just a note, however, Shrub.com actually has nothing to do with George Bush. It came about because of a stupid middle school website I made with my friend called “Shrubwomen’s Homepage”, which got shortened to “Shrub” when I bought the domain in ‘97. It’s just an unfortunate coincidence that one of the meanings of “shrub” is a derogatory name for Dubya. Although I do hate the way the man and his administration are running the US.

    Also just realized that you called my rant “the best post criticizing Hershman.” Wow… Thanks. High praise, indeed.

    I’ve already bookmarked your site, Tekanji . . . as you couldn’t tell from my repeated comments. Very good stuff. Thanks for writing it.
