every so often i develop a blog crush. this is a little bit like a crush-crush, but a whole lot more like a friend crush. anyway, my current object of affection is angry black bitch. abb is special in that -- among the posts i've read -- most of the political insight comes as a direct result of actual work that abb has actually done trying to help her mentees live better lives. it kicks my ass a little bit: which of the people that i evince so much concern for here on the internets have i actually spoken to recently?!
...and also i'm still in the phase where the consistent use of the first person pronouns "a bitch" and "my ass" has me rolling on the floor. it sounds like the old journalistic first person of "this reporter" -- with profanity!

by day a political scientist! by night a significantly less intellectually responsible political scientist!

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
