If anyone wants to be added to the opt-in friendslist I created for posting and discussing my half-formed musings on whiteness, just give a holler. I'm going to be posting more publicly soon, but in the meantime, there's a lot of good stuff going on in comments.

Once you're signed up, you can click the "drafts" tag in the right-hand sidebar to see all the posts in one place.

Update: I've added you, failstoexist, springheel_jack, and smashingstars.
Later Update: And you too, thetheriomorph, andamous, and warinner.

I've done a little work on a rewrite and expansion of the screed on whiteness that I put up on Sunday and took down yesterday morning. (Not the "Can White People Be Trusted" one or the John Brown one, the other one. The one about the pictures.)

It's not done, but I need to set it aside and get back to my actual work. So I think I'm going to put it up in draft form at some point as a friends-locked post and solicit some feedback.

I know there are a lot of folks on my friendslist who aren't particularly interested in reading my half-formed thoughts about whitey, so I'm going to make a filtered friendslist for it. It'll be opt-in --- I'll only add you if you ask me to.

Comment here if you want in.

By the way, if you're not on my friendslist, feel free to friend me, and I'll be happy to friend you back. Likewise, if I'm on your friendslist and you want off, feel free to unfriend --- no hard feelings. Every day is unfriending amnesty day chez Brooklynite.
