This isn't a new blogging trend but for some reason I've been noticing it a lot more lately. Bloggers or internet personalities that use the word tribe. "Welcome into the fold of our tribe!" "Join our tribe!" "All our welcome to our tribe!" Is this a blog or a cult? I don't want to be folded into anything that's not a blanket. I just keep picturing some blogger opening their arms wide saying "yes, you're in the fold now. Come into the fold. Join the tribe. ONE OF US. ONE OF US!" I'm all set thanks.
Now if you want to talk to me about Tibe hummus I'm all ears. That's some good stuff.
First I've heard it. I have a Jewish friend who uses it as a code word for being Jewish. "He's in the tribe." But that's about it.
