Here I go again, biting off a little more than I think I can chew… I’ve been buried in quite a few texts recently (and by texts I mean books & essays, not the emoticon-ridden abbreviations my peers are usually buried in) that have me thinking in many ways. Actually, I forced myself to finishContinue reading “The Question of Antisemitism and Max Weber”

I Wish I Could Be A Functionalist
It is currently 12:14 AM and I cannot sleep. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow that I’m slightly anxious about, so despite my best attempts, I cannot sleep to save my life. It’s also been a hot minute since I’ve done any “publishable” writing. So, when you combine insomnia and a love for words, youContinue reading “I Wish I Could Be A Functionalist”
A Bible Reader’s Thoughts on Roe v. Wade
Yeah so that whole “one post a day” thing crashed and burned. Here we are folx, around two weeks after the Supreme Court made a ruling overturning the federal consensus on Roe v. Wade. As a woman in the United States, I have many thoughts. As a reader of the Bible and believer in God,Continue reading “A Bible Reader’s Thoughts on Roe v. Wade”
Pt. 1: Dear Max Weber…
Before I dive into Max Weber and continue this rewind into posts that have been sitting in my drafts, I want to make it clear that I am in no way avoiding the current state of our world. I will be writing about the Roe v. Wade news, but I need time. I need time,Continue reading “Pt. 1: Dear Max Weber…”
Barbie’s “The Princess and the Pauper”: Sociology-ified
Yes, you read that right… This post has been sitting in my drafts for months now, I’ve just been too embarrassed to post it. I was a really big barbie kid growing up (which I think may have done more harm than good looking back, but I digress). I watched all the barbie movies. BarbieContinue reading “Barbie’s “The Princess and the Pauper”: Sociology-ified”
What’s Next?
Well, if you haven’t noticed, I learned a lot in one particular class this semester. Though it kept me up until the wee hours of the morning, much like my residents, I’d rather have my intellectual brain keep me up than my emotional one (though she takes her turn too, don’t worry.) You see, theContinue reading “What’s Next?”
Meritocracy and Disability: Part 2
My original plan was to completely rework my earlier post on meritocracy and disability. However, the more I thought about it, the more I decided against it. The whole point of these posts is to work through the overflow of thoughts in my head. Putting them into writing gives me space for new thoughts, andContinue reading “Meritocracy and Disability: Part 2”
Thoughts on Loneliness… And Sociology.
I told myself I wouldn’t write this weekend, and I knew that was a lie the second I said it. I spent about an hour laying in bed and thinking this morning. I was thinking about an experience I had last night, and really this entire last week. These thoughts continued as I made andContinue reading “Thoughts on Loneliness… And Sociology.”
A Sociological Sing-Along
Let’s take a break from the heavy study for a second and look at sociology in a more traditionally fun way (although I find the “nerdy” reading pretty dang fun). I’ve considered myself a musician for a while now, both in practice and in appreciation. I can’t sing for crap (try as I may), butContinue reading “A Sociological Sing-Along”
Peace, Religion, and Society
I still haven’t quite forgiven sociology for consuming my mind. That being said, let’s explore it more. Logic, right? It’s like a song that’s stuck in your head. If you play it enough times, it’ll get unstuck. I’m not quite sure that’s how it’s going to work with sociology, but it’s either keeping these thoughtsContinue reading “Peace, Religion, and Society”
