Now you’re hungry. For information!

You may have noticed that the menu section now includes a link to my blogroll. It took a while to put back together, but I’ve managed to save all the links I had collected on wordpress.com. I’ve also been working on organizing my google accounts, so I can better stay on top of the latest news in the religiosphere. The sad fact of the matter is that I had five email accounts and two Google Readers, all of which I’ve been working on consolidating into one account (nearly there!). As a result of this chaos, I’ve lost track of my fellow bloggers for a little while and I apologize for not linking the many wonderful things you’ve all written!

My slower posting schedule is probably going to persist for a couple of weeks, for the following reasons:

My wrist is still bothering me.
I’m moving in a week.
My fiance and I just announced our engagement and the throes of wedding planning have begun.
I start teaching again in two weeks, and this time I’m mentoring fellow teachers.

All of these explanations/excuses are my attempt not to keep you in the dark about the random and relatively infrequent nature of my posts. More of the sexuality project is coming up (although that requires some behind the scenes organizing, too). Now, without further ado, I’m going to (re)introduce you to my blogroll, painstakingly collected from the very best of the ex-fundamentalist blogosphere! (Got suggestions? Leave ’em in the comments!)
