  As I was preparing my tenure application, the University of Wisconsin Board
of Regents voted to redefine tenure, removing many of the institution's
historical protections. Reevaluating my career priorities in light of these
changes and a resurgent two-body problem, I recognized that my fundamental goal
was communicating mathematical ideas. I found a new role as an editor at
Mathematical Reviews, part of the American Mathematical Society. To my
surprise, thinking more about my identity as a writer and editor also changed
my perspective on my own sexuality and gender identity, inspiring new
approaches to leadership.
