about me

i'm one of those leftist liberals you've been warned about and genuinely want to expand the welfare state. i'm obsessed with politics, with a focus on civil rights (race, gender, disability, etc). i love charts and graphs and data. i also love street art and graffiti. i'm far too lazy for proper capitalization and i don't care.

stuff i read a lot

ezra klein, my policy wonk boyfriend
fivethirtyeight, by my statistics boyfriend nate silver
LAist, things around town
racialicious, race and pop culture
feministe, for the ladies
lawyers, guns & money: here we go!

perhaps this will soothe the pain you’ll feel on realizing that ‘doolittle’ is 20 years old.

I also like Skylar, but everyone keeps saying that it's a stripper name now

It is.

i’ve got my cranky pants on today so take this with a grain of salt, but i really dislike this idea of “stripper names.” it marginalizes sex workers, is often closely tied with class judgments, and removes the idea of free agency from these women’s lives. so sorry to be harsh on a fun post, but i don’t see how reinforcing or advancing this concept serves anyone very well.
