I am a 24 year old male that is a business professional

It seems like everyone on craigslist looking for roommates (btw this is my latest favorite section to read for entertainment) identifies as some sort of ‘professional’. I am not really sure what professional means and/or if it means anything at all. I’m wavering between thinking it means “i have a full time job” or if it is some sort of symbolic class reference.

This is just a collection of things I think are neat.

A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
