I don’t talk about politics here on this blog. Sure, I’ll encourage you to go vote or something, but I really don’t write about my political beliefs or current issues much.
When I started my blog, I made a conscious decision to avoid this subject. I avoid politics not because I don’t care about the topic. Quite the contrary — I care about it very much. Too much, probably, and that’s why I don’t write about it here. I know my political beliefs are not the same as most of my family members and friends, and I don’t want to upset them. And I don’t want too much of a contentious vibe here.
But if any of you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you’ve seen my political posts. You probably have a clear idea of which side of the aisle I’m on. And you probably know the issues I’m most concerned about. But Twitter and Facebook don’t exactly lend themselves to long thoughts and ongoing conversations.
That’s why I’m glad to finally have an outlet for my political musings. I am beyond excited to announce that I have been chosen as one of the first-ever political bloggers for BabyCenter. Yes, THE BABYCENTER. I’m still floating on air that I got this gig. I’ll be covering political issues and election-related stories through at least the end of the year for them.
My first post went live today. I hope you’ll go check it out. And I hope you’ll still read this blog even if you hate my political stances, because I’m sure we agree on other things (like how awesome the new Prada collection is). You can chew me out in the comments at BabyCenter if you like. Or, you can always read posts by my counterpoint, May Saubier, if you think she’s smarter and less annoying than me.
Just promise me you’ll stay informed and active in the political process!
