m.i.a. due to workload ridiculousness and incapacitating inefficiency. still thinking about this abortion conversation, mostly in the sense of it's-a-complex versus no-it's-not. frustrated with larry summers and the difficulty of thinking seriously, but not necessarily empirically, about academic culture.

actual quote: "after a while, when people yell at you, you get used to it, and that is very good. that is what is supposed to happen."

humbug.
