#TBT: Working moms and narrow margins
On Thursdays I post something from the archives. This is from May 2011. As a working mom, there is very little (if any) room for error or variation from the norm. I already have more on my plate than is probably realistic with four children – I work as a college professor, I write for a number of websites, and I edit and manage a staff of writers for another. If everything worked out exactly as planned in any given day, I still probably wouldn’t have enough time to do . . .

Carpool Karaoke with Lin Manuel Miranda is the best thing that’s happened all year
I wanna be in the car where it happens . . . (If you don't get that reference, you need to check your life and start listening to the Hamilton soundtrack immediately.) James Corden is my favorite ever. Except for Lin Minuel Miranda, who is my favorite ever ever. And the two of them together sent my inner broadway nerd into jazz-hand-level hysteria. They sing a number from Hamilton (which I had the pleasure of seeing last year and YES it's worth the hype.) Then they are joined by Broadway . . .
Why I’m a socialist, a Christian, and voting for Bernie Sanders
I consider myself a socialist. That's a sentence that can create awkwardness at dinner parties, and suspicion and confusion in political conversations. Socialism is a dirty word in some political circles. Case in point: think of all the times that Barrack Obama has been accused of being a socialist in the past seven years, As if that is some grave insult. Because of the stigma around socialism, it is curious to me (and encouraging to me) that Bernie Sanders, a vocal and proud socialist, has . . .
