I'm a burnt out sociologist looking for good things in the world. This is a chronicle of things I find interesting, inspiring, troubling, helpful, and/or fun. If you've got a problem with identity, class, race, gender, queerness, or issues of progressive social justice, you can very nicely shove off, as I will not be putting up with ignorant bullshit. :)

How I learned the difference between love and respect at my first Broadway show.

We arrived to the theater about 30 minutes before the show was scheduled to start, so I began talking to the girls seated in front of us. They seemed very lovely, and smart. They laughed at…

This is absolutely on point.
