oh yeah i want to be clear: i wasn't a particularly good debater! i had a decent record because i'm a decent speaker, but i wasn't anything special on the circuit. my husband, otoh, debated me several times in practice rounds over the years — and beat me every single time — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig Was a middling policy debater for eight years (EIGHT YEARS!) both releived and jealous I was never achilles (but’s that life)
