I said the phrase “You can’t randomize the patriarchy” in class today. I fear I have peaked.

New publication (lnkd.in/gnfiGS7z) with Junghwa Choi in State and Local Government Review. We offer, I think, an innovative return to the basics of representative bureaucracy. If I were being goofy, I'd say something about going against academic orthodoxy, etc. But I'm not that kind of guy, am I?

It pisses me off how many scams I've encountered in the wake of and as a result of my mom's death. Scammers taking advantage of the emotional vulnerability of this kind of situation are evil and deserve bad things.

I know this is obvious but being poor is expensive. I’m not poor but the last two months I’ve messed up paying my rent and had to go to a Walmart to money center. It’s $5 and a line every time. Landlords are evil scum.

It is "unionize or die" time in American higher ed. Yes, that means you and your special work. I don't care if you're "not political," because our enemies are very political.

This is good long-term and good for the party brand, but it sucks that an inability to keep sex pests out has cost the Democrats a seat in a House that's now (I think?) 217-213.

It really is wild how we’re to be respectful of the trauma they supposedly experience and not that of the actual victims. They are cowards and wimps. And should be reminded at every opportunity

Also, the thing that is must be at the same time entirely novel, coherent with the prior intuitions of the reviewers, and not controversial whatsoever (even if you intentionally rearrange the words to make the paper into the most outlandish argument possible). Yay!

deposing a foreign ruler and spending tens of billions of dollars on oil subsidies so we can put American frackers out of business, just in time for EVs to permanently collapse oil demand. that's the Trump business touch alright

If this was any other set of medical treatments, the entire medical community would be scrambling to study how they could improve their own treatments.
Over 90% of transgender and nonbinary people surveyed in Norway satisfied with gender-affirming care outcomes
A survey of transgender and nonbinary people in Norway finds that the vast majority who have received gender-affirming care are satisfied with the treatment outcomes, including 93% of those who received hormones and 96% of those who underwent surgery.
The findings, included in a new report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law in collaboration with
the University of Agder, Norway, show that transgender men and women were more likely than nonbinary people to have obtained gender-affirming health care. The share of study participants who reported having made most of the changes they wanted -socially, medically, or in other ways -was highest among transgender men (35%), followed by transgender women (18%), nonbinary people assigned female at birth (16%), and nonbinary people assigned male at birth (0%).
Using data from a nationwide sample of 579 transgender and nonbinary people in Norway, researchers examined gender-affirming health care needs, care experiences, and overall health and wellbeing across gender identity groups.
