Dear Waking Vixen readers/RSS subscribers...

I've been blogging at Waking Vixen (Blogger, then MovableType, then WordPress) since July 2004. As you've surely noticed, I don't blog as much or the way I used to. I used to write daily, long personal stories, cultural analysis, TMI… but I don't anymore. Waking Vixen has been sitting quiet and unposted-on a lot in the past few years. That's a shame, but I haven't been exactly silent.

I have, however, been super active in other places online. Blogwise, I spent 8 months running Naked City for the Village Voice in 2008, and for the past two years I've been editing and writing for Akimbo, the blog I launched at my job at the International Women's Health Coalition. I've also been especially verbose on Twitter - and I'm reviving my use of Tumblr now too. If you're reading this in your RSS reader, and you just saw a sudden flood of posts from me, it's because I made the move to replace the Waking Vixen RSS feed with my feed from Tumblr. I've been messing around on Tumblr for a few weeks now and I think that's what's up.

The thing is: adapt or die. And Waking Vixen has been languishing. It's taken me a while to even think about letting go, but its time I figure out how to not hang onto Waking Vixen for nostalgic reasons.

I'll be reconfiguring some things over the next few weeks, and we'll see how it all shakes out. Two weeks ago I wrote my first Tumblr post in more than a year: I miss the internet. It's true, I do. Waking Vixen doesn't feel organic to me in the way it once did, and the way other platforms do now. So, a salute to loving the internet again and figuring out how to do it better.
