Thanks to s.e. smith and proudlyfreckled for linking me to this, which is indeed the essay that I meant.
I love Veronica Mars, and I appreciate that an attempt was made to address race and class issues on the show. I appreciate more this essay than identifies the failures thereof.

I am a 30-something middle-class White cis woman in the US, bisexual, married to a man, dealing with a body with potentially lethal but generally non-disabling defects, struggling to finish a PhD, raising a daughter, and supervising four cats.
This blog is whatever I feel like: current events, hair dye, sociological perspectives, nail polish & eye make-up, fandom & slash (mainly Tony/Steve), discussion and criticism of healthcare in the United States, femme/fashion stuff, media criticism, mix CDs...
You've come to the wrong place for consistency, kid.
I teach sociology courses on various types of inequality, so I blog a lot about inequality and frequently tag that content "teaching materials" because I may want to use it in classes.
I had a baby this year, so you're also going to hear a lot about pregnancy & child-rearing (personal), the medicalization of pregnancy and childbirth (political), and general baby/parenting stuff (personal-political). The baby has a fashion blog.
