Light Blogging and Amanda Was on the TV Machine

Privilege-denying dude is a good example of what I'll be talking about.

Blogging will be light for most of the week, because I'll be traveling to Chicago to do three presentations on the topic of using humor to push back against microaggressions (and some macroaggressions, too) for Northwestern University. Here's a schedule of events, if you can make it. I've beefed it up with lots of jokes, as befitting the topic.

Today I'm getting stuff done before I leave and also, it's a holiday, so with that, I'll leave you with a video of my appearance on "The Last Word" with guest host Ezra Klein.
