So excited to give the Elihu Katz Colloquium @asc.upenn.edu tomorrow! Dr. Katz was a major influence and mentor to me and it is an honor to deliver a lecture in his name. This picture was taken 15 years ago while we worked on our book Echoes of Gabriel Tarde.

When I was a competitive figure skater in Canada my friends and I had a saying: it’s time to turn down the suck and turn up the good. Today feels like one of those days.

Was searching for a headshot for an upcoming talk and came across this out take. Not appropriate for an "official talk" but I kind of love it.

Back in September, Ben and I had the honour of participating in the NoH8 campaign to end homophobia. There has never been a more important time than now to fight hate with love ❤️. #noh8 @noh8campaign.bsky.social

Ben and I snuck away to Ellicottville, NY for our anniversary. We battled a blizzard and got to our cabin where 2.5 feet of snow landed and it is perfect!

I’ve decided that I’m giving myself the gift of time over the next 2 months. Despite 3/4 of a book left to write, I have no words left. I need time to grieve and heal over our Stella (and the election). I need time to read and get inspired. And most of all, I need time with my husband and Loki ❤️

There are so many options to post for my first time on Blue Sky that it is overwhelming. While I collect my thoughts, here’s a picture of Loki looking sassy.
