i'm anti-social. i'm obsessed with the past. i learned the word "anachronism" at the age of 12, and that was my introduction to identity politics. i used to write poetry, but i've been suffering from writer's block for the past two years. i'm a survivor. i review books occasionally for sites like this one. i say "y'all" a lot, like any southern gal worth her salt. i founded a message board for progressive mothers of color. sometimes i'm afraid to go outside because i'm a girl. but i go anyway.
