spot on aid humor

like i said, i've been getting into reading development blogs lately. many of the authors of these fall into the category of practitioner/skeptic, and i've enjoyed expanding my reading list (suggestions welcome!). but i have to say, i particularly love when these skeptical insiders just let. it. rip. about all the absurdities of the industry.

two hilarious blogs featuring self-deprecating commentary on international aid/development work are:

Hand Relief International: it's a submission-based parody blog, and so the post quality is a little uneven, but the "do i work for an HRI affiliate?" post is BRILLIANT.

Stuff Expat Aid Workers Like : really funny spin on the ever popular stuff white people like trend, by a couple of talented aid/development bloggers, including j. from tales from the hood, which is another new favorite. i totally want to submit one of these.
