the New Pope says he's from Chicago but he's *actually* from Naperville

American Pope - excellent Italian, very good Spanish, cites Pope Francis twice.

It's time

As a Catholic from Chicago, I’m overjoyed with Pope Leo XIV’s appointment! May he be a leader for the Church that makes all Catholics feels seen and welcome 🙏🏻🕊️

Here’s me with the Cubs “W” flag at the Vatican in 2016. Pope Francis must have broken the curse of the goat because they won the World Series a few weeks later…perhaps it was a sign of good things to come

Twitter is missing out on all the Chicagoans on BlueSky speculating about whether Pope Leo XIV supports the Cubs or White Sox, Giordano’s or Lou Malnati’s, what is his opinion on Portillo’s…the Catholic Church is about to become so Chicago coded and I kinda love it ❤️🌆

What a day to be a Chicago Catholic! Finally getting some rest, but the Milanese in me can’t help but reflect on how Pope Leo XIV is an Augustinian, and St. Augustine followed in St. Ambrose’s steps. In many ways, Pope Leo XIV now likewise follows Pope Francis’s. Buonanotte 🕊️

Great to have an Emory Political Science reunion with Siv Cheruvu at #EUSA25 yesterday!! 💙💛

Philadelphia — May 2025

It’s end-of-term season again, which means I’m once more reading many many policy briefs. And wow, some of these ideas are just superb and so well researched! 🤩

Grading is done so I started day 1 of computational social science workshops at Università degli Studi di Milano! Grazie Università degli Studi di Milano for allowing researchers from around the area to attend for free! Looks like it’s going to be another summer of voluntary math homework ☀️🧮♾️

Varenna (ancora) — Maggio 2025

How it feels to be attempting my first IR theory paper amidst ~these times ~. Just trying to make sense of a senseless world 🤷🏻‍♀️
