His Royal B.A.D.ness

I remembered this morning that Blogroll Amnesty Day/Weekend hasn't actually happened yet.

I have to rearrange my blogroll (blogs need to be moved to archives, blogs which have fallen in frequency need to be rotated into Time Insensitive, blogs which Are No More need to be removed, etc.) and I don't want to step on anyone's pixels...

(Damn.  I could use "Starship and Coffee" now.)

Color Me B.A.D.

Celebrating Blogroll Amnesty Day a bit late (so Blogroll Amnesty Weekend, OK?), in which I link to other blogs and welcome new readers and again thank skippy the bush kangaroo and Batocchio (Vagabond Scholar) for keeping the memory of Jon Swift green and sending me readers!

This year.  Well.  I will be adding Crumbling Empire (the successor to Mills River Progressive) and  the Daily Irritant; I already added Future Imperfect and Goblinbooks.  The Rectification of Names has been popping up lately, and I have liked it, so I just might slot it in.  I entered the witness protection program a period of lassitude in 2014 which is clearing slowly, and I have stopped being stabbity about the political scene for the moment.

Comments are accepted for about ten days; afterward they go into moderation.  I poke at the moderation queue about twice daily.  Spam goes to the porcelain goddess.

Have a decent day.

Breaking Belated B.A.D.

Because I didn't do it last year.  I'm sorry.  I got into Chauncey DeVega and Goblinbooks and such and moved more cherished blogs into the Archives.  Several folks stopped updating (or died) in the last three years.  I haven't been posting nearly as much and am hereby threatening to change that.

I will be adding We Are Respectable Negroes to the blogroll sometime this week.  I will also be adding Daisy's tumblr,  Nothing left to do but smile smile smile..., which is an interesting combination of photos and feminism.  And Norman Spinrad At Large will definitely be entered as Time Insensitive, because he doesn't post that often, but his essays are always worthwhile.

Explanation of the history of Blogroll Amnesty Day and why it's an important tradition.

Not B.A.D.,

...just drawn that way.

Belated posting of the Blogroll Amnesty Weekend Day because it seems that several of the possibilities are on my Archives blogroll section.

(Explanation of Blogroll Amnesty Day for the unwary.)

Probably not smaller, but added to the 'roll this year:

• Better Than Salt Money (Yes, there are earlier extant versions.  They now link to this.)
• Fukushima Diary (knock-on effects of that big earthquake in Japan)
• Walk On (serious Christian applies principles to life and changes--thought-provoking in the best sense of the word)
• Forgotten New York (what it says)
• Faith and Fear in Flushing (there needs to be more baseball; the politics is getting too thick)

Welcome to the circus, and watch out for the elephants.
