Open Thread: Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday

I originally got this idea from Feministe, and I used to do it every couple of months on the old site. I think it’s about time for another.

This is an open thread for the purposes of self-promotion. If you maintain a blog or other site that you want to tell us about, now’s the time! Feel free to post a comment telling us about yourself and your site: who you are, what you write about, and why we should be interested. Atheist-themed sites are of course preferred, though all comers are welcome. (No purely commercial sites, please; this is obviously not an invitation to spammers.) I like creativity and good writing, so make sure you link to posts that display examples of both!
