I don't know about you all, but I read A LOT of blogs. Probably too many. It's my way of keeping up with the blog world and also reading and learning about things that interest me. I use blogs to keep up with current events, to stalk (I mean, keep track of) my favorite authors, to learn about pop culture. I have a particular penchant for blogs that are very personal in nature and discuss things like sex and gender.
I recent favorite of mine is Sugarbutch Chronicles. You know how I know? Because everytime it pops up in my google reader with a new post I get excited. (I'm aware of how nerdy this is)
Sugarbutch Chronicles is a personal writing exploration of sex, gender, and relationships, and attempts to celebrate queer theory, sexuality, gender, and culture in ways that are expansive rather than restrictive, liberating rather than limiting.
What blog gets you going? (In addition to Feministing, of course)

I just want to say that I adore toothpastefordinner.com, as well as marriedtothesea and Natalie Dee. The two of them make my day that much brighter. :-)
Mimi Smartypants slays me.
http://smartypants.diaryland.com/
I adore her and her writing style and wish I could be her BFF.
girlwithaonetrackmind.
I just love her.
I'm almost afraid to open the comments for this thread - I also already read too many blogs!
I like Bitchy Jones a lot.
hey thanks! right back atcha - feministing gets me going too.
figleaf gets me going for the hot theory & deconstruction
I love typography is sexy sexy design
savage love is the best sex & relationships podcast ever
mark morford is so damn smart, and I love his control over language
& I can't not mention debauchette, dominatrix next door, pro-sm feminist safe spaces, 24.7, devastating yet inconsequential
oh man there are just so many! no wonder I read half the internet every day.
this is precisely why I love RSS readers - and especially google's - because you can share items from your blog collections and see what other people are reading. here's my feed of shared items (or if you use gmail, you can add my email address to your chat requests and you'll get my shared items). I'd love to see what more folks are reading, always fascinating.
ps: your comment preview doesn't seem to work for me, I lost this comment twice :(
Ooooh, I'm going to love keeping track of comments on here - I am the biggest blogaholic and love finding out about new blogs. (If only work didn't get in the way so much!)
I have so many favorites! At the moment (and in the interest of not bombarding you all with links), I've got: The Feminist Underground and Oh, You're a FEMINIST?!.
And for fun/funny times, Postcards From Yo Momma.

Thanks for commenting and sharing your RSS feed. Gotta love the new technology.
Sorry about the comment problem, we're still working out the kinks with the new site.
So many! But a few favorites:
Womanist Musings
Carrie Brownstein
Racialicious
Feminocracy
Hel-Looks (Which actually inspired a forthcoming UnFeminist Guilty Pleasure post...)
I second Womanist Musings & Feminocracy.
I also missed Ill Doctrine! But I'll stop now, or we'll be here forever.
It used to be Bad Cop News, but now it's gone.
FARK does a pretty good job because it's more often than not got a good mixture of things that really make me angry or really make me giggle.
I read a whole lot of "tech" blogs like Gizmodo, Jalopkick, BoingBoing, etc.
I used to read a bunch of gossip sites because like all normal people I enjoy it when famous people have horrible stuff happen to them, but the sites are all about what celeb showed a boob in Ibiza or isn't wearing panties now. Also watching the decline of Amy Winehouse is becoming more and more depressing.
It's not feminist but I really like Jay Rosen's Press Think
http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/
But I love talking about media theory.
Slacktivist http://slacktivist.typepad.com/ is another fave I check in with because he's a liberal evangelical, not a perspective I get to encounter very often. (Plus on Friday he rips apart the World Book Ever Written,Left Behind.
For the silly, I've been laughing over cakewrecks since there was a post from it last week here.

And hey there's always my own blog, NewsCat, NewsCat.">http://www.bitchkittie.blogspot.com>NewsCat.
I also love Professor, What If...?:
http://professorwhatif.wordpress.com/
and Feminist Law Professors:
http://feministlawprofs.law.sc.edu/
Oh, and Sally's blog Jump Off the Bridge shouldn't be missed either:
http://takeajump.blogspot.com/
in line with comics i'll through up: http://indexed.blogspot.com/
(p.s., thanks frau sally benz :) I
"throw" :)
I love Flick Filosopher:
http://www.flickfilosopher.com/
Smart, funny movie and TV reviews by a kick-ass feminist.
I'm also a total bloghound, with a variety of style/substance. Other feminist/gender-oriented-type sites I love are Feministe, Shakesville, Pam's House Blend, The Curvature. Blogs of other genres include Consumerist, Jezebel (I know, it's SOMETIMES about women's issues - especially now that Megan is there - but mostly it's not and they don't market themselves as a feminist site), FourFour, Wonkette, Talking Points Memo...probably a lot more.
Something is up with the usual HTML tags. It's not accepting blog as valid.
This Afternoon in Drama by author Andrea Seigel usually has me cracking up. I especially like her analysis of adds for Snickers and tampons. http://andreaseigel.typepad.com/
