It’s time for me to hang it up.
The Wordydiva domain expires at the end of the month, and while I plan to renew it to make sure it stays mine (it’s the name of my font family, see), I have no plans to continue blogging here after 31 October. This blog will come down then.
I’m still a huge fan of the internet, though, and have several places where I let it blurt:
I can be followed on Twitter.
I post photos at Flickr.
I have two Tumblrs - one where I post occasional snippets, and one that’s strictly about food, food systems, food issues, etc.
And so I bid you adieu! Many thanks to readers, if there are any of you left, who kept checking in over the years, whether it was at Madame Insane, MizUntitled, or here at Wordy Diva. It’s been real.

Those of us who work with food suffer from an image of being involved in an elite, frivolous pastime that has little relationship to anything important or meaningful. But in fact we are in a position to cause people to make important connections between between what they are eating and a host of crucial environmental, social, and health issues. - Alice Waters
The best way to be hopeful for the future is to prepare for it. - James Howard Kunstler
People go to record stores for the same reason they go to the farmers' market. You get to see the merchandise, wander around, look at things you would never consider on your own, take advice from people who know what they're talking about, stumble onto stuff and maybe get your mind changed about something. - Steve Albini

October 26th, 2009 at 10:45 pm Thanks for all your writing over the years! I’ve enjoyed it. I also look forward to all the new things you do with your time. I hope you’ll be leaving your archives up indefinitely, or do you plan to take it all down?
October 27th, 2009 at 6:31 am Ben: I’ll leave things up until the end of the calendar year, I’m guessing.
October 27th, 2009 at 10:55 pm Thanks for the writing, sharing & thoughts, Wordy Diva. You will be missed. You have been a good friend with my morning tea. As a Los Angeles radio d.j. liked to say, “Ho’ tep, sister. Keep on keepin’ on.” And on to the next big thing. Thank you.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:06 am It is sad to see you leave the blogging world, but I hope to see ya on your other internet outlets.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:32 pm Hey Lisa, yours was one of the first blogs I ever read. Thanks for writing so much that spoke to me so much over the years, and for connecting me to so many interesting people. I’ll miss reading you here but glad to keep in touch through the other channels.
November 4th, 2009 at 7:30 am Your blog was my first too. I’ve been reading since, ‘01 or ‘02 or something like that. Long time anyway.. I’ll miss ya!
November 7th, 2009 at 7:25 pm I understand where you’re coming from. After years working on websites, blogs and forums you can definitely burn out. It’s important to step away and recharge. Take some time off, experience the world from a non-blogger perspective, and when you’re ready and excited again, return refreshed. In the mean time your work will remain online as a great resource and inspiration. Thanks!
November 15th, 2009 at 12:21 pm Sad to see it go, but know its always inevitable as we grow. XOXO and good luck, will see you around here and there
December 8th, 2009 at 11:26 pm Thanks for the blog. You did a really good job. If you’re ever in Victoria give me a call.
