Four years ago today, I published my first Mombian post. It’s been a longer and more fun journey than I ever could have imagined, thanks to all of you who have stopped by to read, comment, and in many cases, become friends. My vision for the site then was to offer news, analysis, and resources […]
I’m not posting a Weekly Political Roundup this week. I did an LGBT Parenting Roundup yesterday that I hope will hold you until next Friday.

Robin Reagler of The Other Mother is hosting her annual Blog Reader Appreciation Day today, which seems like a wonderful idea and a great reason to offer my appreciation to you, dear readers. If a blog falls in a forest, and no one is there, it doesn’t make a sound. (Trees are still open for

By being a part of this effort, you will help contribute to a blogsphere-wide education campaign about ways your readers can help

Many thanks to all who took the time to vote for Mombian as Best Large Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. I didn’t win (the honor went to Jammie Wearing Fool), but I wasn’t last, so I’m happy. All in good fun, and I got to peruse a bunch of new blogs. Congratulations also to
A final (thank heavens!) reminder to vote for Mombian as Best Large Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. I know I won’t win at this point, but I’d love to go out with a big rally. Voting ends at 5:00 p.m. EST today. I know the Weblog Awards site has been slow to unavailable at
