These days find me living in New York, commuting an hour each way to and from work, and with little time to keep up a personal blog. So to find my stuff:
Click here for the archive of my Daily Beast writing. Subscribe to my personal Beast RSS feed here.
Follow me on Twitter. That's where I have most of my fun.
To see my work from 2006-2009 for The American Prospect, including all my education policy reporting, visit my TAP archive.

It was a crap decade for the world, but a pretty good one for me...
Number of cities I lived in: 4 (New York, Providence, Paris, D.C.)
City whose food I miss most: Providence (best combination of price, quality, and variety)
Longest-running roommates: Lauren and Rachel (Sept. 2003-May 2006)
Weirdest research/writing interest: Circumcision
Longest-term employer: The American Prospect (July 2007-October 2009)
Work Wife: Ann Friedman
Sweet new job: The Daily Beast
Googleganger: Dana Lauren Goldstein, hotshot downtown photographer
Girlcrush: Hillary
Boycrush: Peter Sarsgaard
Coolest person I interviewed: John Hope Franklin
Biggest disappointment: John Edwards
Still proud to say: I'm a Feminist
Earnest liberal dream: Truly integrated schools
Film obsession: Germany (The Lives of Others, Downfall, The Baader Meinhof Complex)
Coolest city I visited: Berlin
Favorite investigative reporter: Justin
Most interesting art show: Paired, Gold: Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn
90s musician I'm still obsessed with: Fiona Apple

Musicians that ended up disappointing me: Rufus Wainwright, Regina Spektor, The Decemberists
Best TV: "Mad Men," duh
Regret of the decade: Should've partied harder in college (I didn't learn to like beer until summer after senior year. I know. Pathetic.)
Totally grateful to: My long-term lady friends! (Rachel, Lauren, Eva, Philissa, Ruthie, Myra, Britt, Corinna...)
At this point, totally comfortable admitting: I'm a nerd, a wonk, and a homebody
But I still appreciate it when: Justin reminds me it's a good idea to leave the house at least once a day. Even on Sundays.
Goals for 2010-2020: Defy the tumult in the journalism industry and continue writing and reporting on women, children, and political movements. And: Fewer migraines. Less anxiety. Learn to accept being a grown-up.
