Getting on and quickly off my soap box.
This argument happening at UW-Madison right now is driving me insane.  It’s important to listen to and take into account opposing sides to this argument on Affirmative Action in college admissions and I hear where this student is coming from.  I strongly support affirmative action.  Having a diverse educational environment is enriching and makes for a well-rounded education.  So here’s...

While working on my laptop at the Union today, I waited to feel a dread, a heaviness in my chest as I realized I’ll be here for another 2 years, studying in the Trophy Room or Lakefront on Langdon, using the computer kiosk, waving to people I recognize, who, like me, have apparently been unable to escape Madison’s spell.  Sometimes I want to feel anxious, or feel regret, that I’m...

We're at the 5 year mark.
It’s the fifth Father’s Day without you being a part of my life and as time goes on, it’s not your absence that bothers me, it’s the fear that I’m forgetting your presence.  I try always to remember things, remember what I admired about you, what your voice sounded like when you were happy and how you cried without shame, what your hands looked like after years as a...

Seriously Indiana?!
Indiana cut funding for Planned Parenthood on Tuesday, a frightening action by a man who might seek our nation’s vote for president.  In the wee hours of the morning (read before 10am) I’m too lazy to look up statistics, but I’d be shocked if none of the wives/girlfriends/daughters/granddaughters of these lawmakers had utilized PP’s services from STI testing to birth...

Freddie Gibbs in his hometown of Gary, IN →
saw the amazing Freddie Gibbs (with Big K.R.I.T) on Friday night.  click the link to see video of him and his friends talking about Gary, IN.  i always see Gary from the freeway, a jumble of old steel mills and brick houses and desperation with the highway rising above, carrying thousands of people who look down, maybe with disdain, or pity, or hope, or nostalgia, or relief that their journey is...
