Profile

Um. Fannish butterly, possibly caught up in the LJ exodus? Time will tell. What's immutable: I'm a cisgendered female, a feminist, a social and economic liberal, and an anti-racist who still fucks up a lot. I've been writing fic for about a decade; current priority is the Big Girl World.

"The bottom line is that all of us – conservative and liberal, believer and atheist – live in the same real world, whether we like it or not. Public policy must be based on the best available evidence about that world. In a free society each person has the right to believe whatever nonsense he wishes, but the rest of us should pay attention only to those opinions that are based on evidence."

"I confess that I'm an unabashed Old Leftist who never quite understood how deconstruction was supposed to help the working class. And I'm a stodgy old scientist who believes, naively, that there exists an external world, that there exist objective truths about that world, and that my job is to discover some of them."
