ME: blah blah blah feminism mike huckabee fat-hater lunatic blah fat politics blah. blah blah fat fat politics politics BMI report card sorrow mike huckabee hatred blah. republican primaries snicker blah. [and so on.]
HE: you can correct me if i'm wrong, but it doesn't look to me like you're fat.

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.
