Awww what a lovely gift to return home to. You’re awesome Ms Zoe!

It also reminded me why I stopped reading LP years ago and transferred my online time commitment ratio to more food and twitter and less politics. Or rather, not engaging with the male ego, one-up-man-ship on those sites.

I think women have wonderfully colonised the internet and made it our own through community, connections and communication…and let’s not forget fun

This is a wonderfully cheering post, and reminds me what I’m missing by not being a bit more active on Twitter (I have the occasional tweeting day, then go dark for a few weeks except for the auto-updates for the blog posts). BTW, my public twitter account is@vivsmythe (@tigtog is private and reserves the handle on the platform, basically).

I’ve been thinking for a while that having an explicitly ozfemmo paper.li setup might be nice, to archive some of the stories the community links to on Twitter each day: it just means that one or a few of us would have to create an account following only ozfemmos (nzfemmos too?) and then tie it to a paper.li account. I’ve already got too much on my plate right now, but could perhaps get a round tuit later in the new year.

Now, having done the early morning Xmas Eve
grocery run, I’m about to crash under this nice air conditioner for 15 minutes and then get on with the rest of the day.

What a truly awesome post Zoe. Thank you. I’m so touched to be included in this list of fabulous strong women. I’d also add @vodkandlime for her incredible endurance in moderating anti-feminist trolls and general awesomeness. And @eglantinescake for her magic with words, her highlighting of the magical inner worlds of children and her gentle support of others (including me). And @ampersanduck for lots, but especially for having the courage to live such an inspiring creative life and for sharing it with all of us.

I’m sure there are more. It’s always so daunting to write these lists because of a fear of leaving people off…

Merry Christmas!

This is such a sweet sweet post, thank you for including me in this list, I feel truly honoured to make the cut. I have to agree that there is something truly remarkable about the Australian feminist blogging community, I mean it’s seriously incredible. Punches well above its weight and is hugely protective and supportive of one another in an exceptionally non-hierarchical way. Am slightly drunk and gushy reading this, SO have to meet up with you all and have a drink together soon. Thanks Zoe, have always thought you were especially wonderful.
