Sister Sites
- Science Village
- My beautiful other website! Science Village is an online science magazine, something for anyone interested in biology, chemistry, physics, geography, and everything in between. The current issue is the second Christmas issue and is about a Holly plant.
- Eight Mine Fortress
- Yes, my friends, yours truly has built yet another beautiful stop on your time-killing net surfing experience. The Fortress contains amusing stories, rants, statements, and whatever else I feel like putting up there, all written by me. I've even got me a pretty blog there called Sure, Why Not?.
Youth Rights Sites
- National Youth Rights Association
- Youth are some of the most openly oppressed people in this country. Brave soldiers come home from risking their lives, but are refused admission to a bar because they're deemed too young and immature just because they are not yet 21. A 16-year-old can be tried as an adult on a number of crimes, but is treated like a child if he wants to vote. This is not right! Support NYRA!
- Oblivion
- Another good youth rights group. They have a nice blog, too. Very worthwhile.
- SnipeMe
- Substitute teacher spares none in his rants (albeit truthful rants for the most part), mostly about stupid people and how horribly children get treated. CAUTION: This site is very vulgar! Some content may also be disturbing.
- Everything About Sex
- No-nonsense, amoral, frank, and understanding site to help youth through difficult personal decisions. Get all the facts.
- No New Freedom
- Scary laws being passed that further takes away the rights of children in school and curtails any means parents have of protecting them. Read about it.
Blogs
- One and Four
- NYRA president Alex Koroknay-Palicz has a lot of good and important stuff to say. He's a smart guy!
- Insolectual
- Jess Caralize is the oppressed, Europeanized, avant-garde daughter of a conservative, fundamentalist military couple. She's got a damn fine blog, there, though!
- Eye Dream Awake
- Jason Kende and I don't always agree, but he's pro-youth and very insightful.
- The Wisdom of Change
- It's the rather fine blog of the rather fine Kathleen.
- Gwen's Spot
- Gwen's got a fun blog of her own!
Game Related Sites
