Republicans Need to Turn Down Their Genocide Rhetoric 09.07.2025 5:08
Your support keeps me going, I really appreciate you! Well, the Republicans are at it again, in fact they never stopped. According to them, everything that’s wrong with the world is the fault of the Democrats or Joe Biden. Meanwhile, Republicans think they can claim credit for everything good. Lost in the mix is that the number of good things is shrinking all the time. Republicans have been on a h...
How 1,000 Bot Comments Can Corrupt Your Perception of Reality 09.07.2025 8:14
Some extra words that I wrote… hey, what’s in here! Don’t do it! Don’t be one of those people who sees a title and says, “I wonder what the general public thinks of this article?” Don’t be a person who scrolls past the content, goes directly to the comments and exclaims, “Wow, everybody disagrees with this writer! Good thing I didn’t waste my time reading whatever she wrote!” No, no, no, you’ve ju...

Substack Writers Are the People Who Offer the Power to Defeat Fascism 08.07.2025 13:34
If you have the means, I greatly appreciate your support! Upgrade at 30% off Over the last 10 years I’ve been very diligent about cutting harmful people out of my life.

America Has Moderate and Radical Conservatives, but No Liberals 08.07.2025 12:48
Your support keeps me going, I really appreciate you! I keep receiving comments and seeing news stories that follow some variation of, “First, you’re wrong to criticize conservatives, second extreme liberals are equally out of control.” You could restate this contradictory argument as, “The behavior you’re talking about doesn’t exist, and the only people doing it are people like you.” It’s utter n...

Don’t Spray Your Text With Reader Repellent 07.07.2025 8:11
Your support keeps me going, I really appreciate you! My best ever marketing idea involved completely bypassing the decision-making process of my target demographic. Inspiration struck during a visit to my friend Clark’s house back in 2015. He was showing off his new Alexa home assistant. “You can just tell it to do anything?” I asked. “Sure, try it,” Clark said. Well, I’m a writer and selling my...

A Toddler Can Drink a Third of a Cup of Juice For Infinity 06.07.2025 6:24
If you have the means, I greatly appreciate your support! Upgrade at 30% off In the battle between parent and baby, the baby always wins. Today, I found myself reflecting on sippy cups and I started to laugh. My girls are now both over 10, but every now and then I have a fond flashback to back when they were little bundles of joy… …little bundles of joy who could fling a sippy cup with the velocit...

Our Government Should Help All Americans, Not Just the Rich 05.07.2025 4:06
Hello Friends, I’m sorry to break it to you but we’ve all been indoctrinated. We’ve been brainwashed to believe that we should accept less than we actually deserve. We’ve been lied to and told that there’s some sort of nobility in suffering. We’ve been told that all this hardship is necessary. So, we can’t pay our rent. We can’t pay for food. We can’t pay for education. We can’t pay for healthcare...
Republican White Supremacists Have Secured Funding for an American Holocaust 05.07.2025 9:07
Hello Friends, I wish I had better news for you today, but things are looking pretty bleak. Republicans managed to ram their murder bill through. The more I read about this bill, the worse it gets. In addition to that, they’ve already managed to build a concentration camp in Florida. Naturally, the very worst people in our society are cheering for this even as they hide their bigotry behind script...

How the Mindset of Rural Tribalism Has Held Me Back My Entire Life 04.07.2025 8:00
If you’ve been thinking of sponsoring me, why not do so today :) Upgrade at 30% off Back when I was in high school, I thought it would be funny to show up for the homecoming celebrations while wearing the jersey of the visiting team. This is the kind of reckless social experiment that most people can’t even imagine. I mean, who does that? I’ve always had an issue with conformity, and as a teen I h...

Let's Just All Stop and Take a Deep Breath Today 03.07.2025 4:33
Hello Friends, It’s been distressing to watch the progress of the Republican murder bill. This is the bill that’s going to strip millions of Americans of access to healthcare. It’s going to close down hospitals. It’s going to take food out of the mouths of hungry children. It’s just awful. It’s an affront to humanity. I watched an interview with the Senator from Alaska who only voted for the bill...
Chasing Two Olympians up an Andean Pass Was an Exercise in Humility 03.07.2025 8:57
I’d grown accustomed to leaving an hour before the two Olympians, so I was well on my way to the Yanama Pass when Roberto came trotting along. He flashed a smile and asked how I was doing. The air was already so thin it took me a moment to catch my breath. “How high is this pass?” “Oh, a little over 15,000 feet.” I blanched at that. I’ve struggled with asthma all my life and I was concerned about...

How Our Activism Has Become a Rigged Game of Three-Card Monte 02.07.2025 6:35
I'm tired of having to block three potential allies every day because they hit me with a tirade of profanities rather than questions. I get that everyone is on edge, but I am not your enemy. Do you want me to spell it out for you. Here you go: * I want you to have affordable healthcare. * I want your kids to get a free education. * I want you to be able to buy a house. I am not the person who is h...

Here's Why I'm Pissed off At Democrats for Not Doing Enough 01.07.2025 7:57
Hello Friends, Every time I write an article that’s critical of Democrats, I get a bunch of replies from anonymous profiles who say, “But we have to recognize how hard they’re working.” Excuse me? I have to tell you, it feels a lot like the Russian bot swarms that assault me whenever I’m critical of the Republicans. There are plenty of arguments from the center that are indistinguishable from MAGA...
How My Daughter and I Got Attacked by a Bald Eagle on a River Trip 01.07.2025 10:19
I deeply love taking my family on river trips. It always plays out the same. “Hey kids!” I holler. “Do you want to go down the river?” “No!” they reply in a unified chorus. “Well, too bad, we’re going anyway!” Then I urge them out the door though they grumble and complain. We get on the water, and within fifteen minutes their attitude has changed. “Daddy, this turned out to be the best idea ever....
