When you lose your temper, you lose your power.

Let’s be very clear: if you support forced births but don’t support universal health care, then you’re not pro-life.

I wish more economists knew someone who was $27K in debt from culinary school and making $10.50/hr. Or a vet tech student with $19K in loans and earning $31K. But hey, we can’t get economists out of their racially segregated school districts, so this is hopeless.

If current trends hold, more than twice as many ppl in the U.S. will die of Covid (120,000) in the next year than died of AIDS in its deadliest year (55,000 in 1995). Why is there so little anger about this? So little urgency? Are those dying of Covid acceptably "disposable"?

My heart is happy!! I been thinking about sociology’s obsession with measuring, quantifying, and knowing since grad school. Sociology of Vibe considers unindexed moments, feeling some type of way, and modes of not knowing as important pieces of structural experience. Out soon!

Had the opportunity to experience #BrittanyHoward live and it was simply amazing #music #rock
