Very Tired

It's been over a week since I put any new words here. I've been spending some--a lot--of time online, reading blogs with feminist or anti-racist themes and that always makes me feel a bit...introverted perhaps. (Hey, it's better than the celebrity gossip sites I was somewhat addicted to six months ago.)

I stay off of the "big" feminist websites because, not unsurprisingly, they tend to be some of the most unabashedly classist and discriminatory sites on the web. Seriously. It's disheartening to see that the face of internet feminism is largely white and upper middle class. Of course, that really highlights the fact that women of color (and people of color in general) and poor people don't have an internet presence because they often can't afford the equipment or the fees or perhaps even the time it takes to become internet savvy--and there's nothing much on the internet that would really speak to them if they could.

So yes, looking at these things makes me feel, as an underrepresented presence on the internet, very tired.
