A grad school office mate summed me up once by saying, "Stephanie, you are the embodiment of calling a spade a spade." She did not mean it as a compliment.

Also, slogans like "Save the Earth" are bad both because they're inaccurate and humans are self-interested creatures who aren't great at abstract concepts. The Earth doesn't need our help; it's seen many extinction events and always just keeps on keeping on. We're the ones who need saving.

2. Removing these immigrants would likely result in House seat losses for Florida, Texas and California. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
How removing unauthorized immigrants from census statistics could affect House reapportionment
If unauthorized U.S. immigrants aren't counted, 3 states could each lose a seat they otherwise would have had and 3 others each could gain one.

I would love to be able to say exactly when I enter the podcast, but I've never been able to bring myself to listen to or watch my own interviews.
