About/Submissions

Busy Being Born is a group blog whose members share the belief that politics, the arts, pop culture, sports, mixtapes, viral video nonsense, and other sundry online errata are all equally worthy of thoughtful consideration and discussion. Broadly speaking, we’re all friends, and many of us have worked for and/or contributed to the web publication Splice Today, which we encourage you to visit. But this site isn’t a publication; it’s a conversation. And we hope you join.
