I just reviewed the agenda for this conference, and so many people I've wanted to meet IRL will be there. Absurdly excited about this event. I apologize in advance for being a dweeb.

“There is limited benefit in viewing the saga as a conspiracy…Though human hands lit those fires, they were set in motion by forces far more impersonal and far-reaching than a mere criminal cabal. The carnage was the bitter fruit of financialization….Less whodunit than whatdunit.”

“it turns out that insurance is utterly mesmerizing, and that’s in part because insurers quantify emotions like fear, hope, and mourning. They can offer an almost transparent window into the affective logic of capitalism.

The Origins of Birthright Citizenship - Boston Review
The Fourteenth Amendment captures the idea that no people born in the United States should be forced to live in the shadows.
“Since the mid-90s, a tiny minority has tried to dislodge this conventional understanding of the Citizenship Clause by claiming that the phrase ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ excludes the children of unauthorized migrants. That is not how the Reconstruction generation talked about the issue.”
