Each week, I’ll be posting a list of the most news-worthy and/or inspirational, informative, well-written, thought-provoking, and/or unique posts of the week. While every post and every contributor is valuable to our community, these are the blogs that I feel are must-reads.

July 25- July 31

Ignorance Kills- by justifiable

Why I chose this post:

Call for Submissions- by kathleenmysistahs

Why I chose this post:

Kathleen writes about two important and exciting projects:

Why we should be supporting Clare Balding- by talknerdytome

Why I chose this post:

Clare Balding is a sports journalist with BBC, and she is also openly gay. Recently, a reporter wrote about a new program she was involved with, and the homophobic situation just grew from there. “talknerdytome” explains what happened and why we shouldn’t ignore when things like this happen.

Thank you to everyone who posted a blog this week! You are part of what makes this community great!
