Yes, but too bad that there are other kinds... this 'progressive' identity has to exist in relation to ... 'regressive'?? Anyway, my politics aren't exactly mainstream and I'm deeply committed to positive change. My scholarly background is fun [ny] and diverse - I'll stop there.

Surfing when I shoulda been working...(like, um, now)
5) What are you looking for as you post here?
Not much. I'm here to read and listen. Actually not entirely true - I'd like to connect and maybe agree more often than disagree with others for a change. Disagreeing makes me sleepy
