Mezzo-soprano, contralto, and bass-baritone all rolled into one.

Not the best gaymer in the world, but I have my moments.

Reminder that that one Super Bowl ad about Jesus leads to a website that directs you to conservative churches. The latest one had a picture of somebody preaching inclusion at a Pride parade, which is a straight-up lie about what the people who produce those ads actually believe.

Today is the memorial service for Professor Mala Htun. She was absolutely brilliant, witty, and kind. She taught me the nuances of gender, democracy, and party politics around the world. Oh, and also just about everything I know about Comparative Politics.

The definition of fascism, agreed upon by analysts, is palingenetic ultranationalism, or the ideology of restoring the supremacy of one's nation and in-group to an imagined halcyon era.

You don't need to hesitate in calling this administration fascist. We have a definition, and they fit it.
