About UsDuring a road trip in California, taken during our second year of graduate school, we took the advice of many spirited Yelp! commenters and found a wonderful brunch spot (Radiohead was there too... but that's a story for a different blog). That made us think about the type of communities formed online and their merit in making us better, more informed and connected citizens. Inspired by Bowling Alone, we would like to comment together on current affairs, politics and women's issues. We would love as many people as possible to join us here!
