If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Three #SOGIData notes that I think folks who critique surveys likely know but seem to forget
1. Questions & optimal measures may change dependent on audience. If it is national or includes mostly cis het pop of all ages, that is very different than community specific!

Also, my Touch ID doesn’t seem to work when my fingers are cold? What’s that about? Like after drinking/holding a smoothie—and when I first came in from the polar vortex. Is this a thing??
