Couldn't have the predicted the didn't-read-Teen-Vogue-as a-teen to lamenting-the-dismantling-of-Teen-Vogue-in-middle-age pipeline but here we are

If you decorate for Halloween but do not give out candy, you are not upholding the social contract. I don't make the rules.

I suck at self-promotion. Like "Do the other 9 faculty in my department all even know I wrote a book?" levels of suck.

But we got the proofs last week and I am tearing up as I finish reading the conclusion. I'm really proud of this project. I can't wait for it to be out in the world.

Loving the love for Brad Lander. It’s updated me a bit on RCV. RCV could create more Brad Landers, more coalition builders. A counterweight to the extremely individualistic incentives of executive and single member district legislative elections

Students hate writing essays. I hate reading them. Students hate taking tests. I hate writing them.

So this term, I asked them to create something else, anything else, to show what they'd learned.

You can choose to watch tonight if you want, but please believe you don't have to. I'm a whole public policy professor who will just read the news tomorrow.

WaPo was the first news publication I ever subscribed to with my own money. My household just canceled our subscription.

I don't want 'riveting storytelling for all Americans.' I have Netflix for that.

I want truth in the face of fascism.
