About Me

I live and write in Chicago. I work at Crossroads Fund, a public foundation that funds grassroots social justice groups in the Chicago area.

e·jac·u·la·tion n. 1. The expulsion of seminal fluid from the urethra of the penis during orgasm. 2. A sudden short exclamation, especially a brief pious utterance or prayer. "Four figures emerged from this preoccupation with sex…targets and anchorage points for the ventures of knowledge: the hysterical woman, the masturbating child, the Malthusian couple, and the perverse adult." --Michel Foucalt
