Week 11: Focus

I found a blogger by the name of Robin Morgan. I was immediately intrigued by her first post. She spoke of the importance of the US census. I had just recently learned about how the census is what the government uses to allocate funds to towns and districts. It is also used to assign representatives to states based on population. The value of the census is not immediately obvious and that prevents people from taking it seriously. Morgan's plea to consider it's importance even as we face this pandemic was wise. She also gave some sound advice for dealing with social distancing, such as how many museums and zoos are providing virtual tours. She spoke about focusing on the positive and using your hobbies as a form of therapy.

Robin Morgan's main blog theme is politics and feminism. She talks at length about topics like the MeToo movement to the resignation of congresswomen Katie Hill. Most of her content is focused on woman's issues and she provides a calm perspective into many of these topics that are often thought of as younger woman's issues. I'm glad to see our mentors still have a voice in the community. I think it is important to listen to those who have fought the good fight before you because they can offer clarity and a different viewpoint. I think her blog is speaking to those who agree with her brand of feminism and those who wish to learn more about these issues.
