Want to Help Birmingham? Write for FreeThinkBham!
Hello, all. I would just like to take this time to suggest that you consider adding something to this blog. FreeThinkBham isn’t just about my opinions; it’s about revealing the oft-hidden desire for progressive social and political change in Birmingham to other residents who might not be in the know.
That’s the beauty of blogs: an individual’s specialty or wealth of knowledge can become something of public record. If someone knows a lot about a certain topic, that knowledge should be compiled, condensed, and put into the “blogosphere” so others can benefit by easily learning something about Birmingham that may have taken the writer years to discover… or even a lifetime. This is what being a “community” is all about. You should take what you know, share it, and learn from others.
Birmingham, especially, needs to hear from the few forward-thinking young minds that exist in this town. Where else are we going to learn about the more liberal topics in this city that matter to us? Certainly not from the Birmingham News. That was my vision for FreeThinkBham: to become an easy spot for someone to find out what’s happening in the under-belly of an otherwise very conservative part of the country. But I need help. I work full time and can’t update the site as much as I’d like. And mostly, I just don’t know everything that’s going on in this town! That’s where you come in. Are you starting a responsible business? Do you know about an upcoming function or event for social change? Are you just mad about some of the business-as-usual in Birmingham? Let me know about it! I can post something from an email or I can set you up with a guest account, and you can just start updating all you want!
I’ll give you a list of topics that FreeThinkBham is big on. If any of these strike you as a topic in your field of expertise or even just experience, please consider contributing to this blog. Topics: politics, living green, social empowerment (women’s health, LGBT, racism, economics), gardening, spirituality, health, art, education, drug law reform, DIY, vegetarianism/veganism, pets, biking, food, and probably much more that I’m forgetting.
I really hope you’ll take this into consideration, people. Birmingham needs to hear from you! We have to let this town know that there are people here who don’t fit the usual mold, and blogging is one of the most effective ways to do that!
