happy to share my review of WHO IS GOVERNMENT? for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social a collection of essays edited by Michael Lewis... I feel like this quote makes me sounds like a Republican... but you'll just have to read the essay to find out the context!
"While Lewis and his writerly comrades make a good case for the federal government by humanizing a few employees, the problem is that their essays don’t match most people’s lived experience of 'the government.'" @miekemarple.bsky.social on "Who Is Government?" lareviewofbooks.org/article/bure...

I held off reading this, bc I thought it would just be... more of what I already know. It's not. @miekemarple.bsky.social, thanks for pushing me. I've sworn off rage posting, so instead I'll say, do check out Mieke's review below and pick up this brave book ☀️

This week I wrote a review of the Facebook exposé 'Careless People' by Sarah Wynn-Williams. This review also ended up being a self review as I contemplated why I participate in these FB apps and economies when I know how detrimental they are.

Haven't signed off yet but I feel it coming...

Two months ago the Eaton & Palisades Fires in LA destroyed an area the size of SF. This video summarizes the Substack post I wrote in the wake of that.
