My newest Substack piece! I finally talk politics, throw down a hot take, and also talk about why I almost never do that anymore.

My newest Substack piece is up! This time, it's a reflection on the loss of my father one year later.

"One Year Without My Dad." Life doesn't end when a parent leaves the world... but it does get emptier. It's even harder when one feels unresolved guilt.

My newest Substack piece is up! I'm turning 37 in just over a day, and there's a lot I'm thinking about.

More than ever, a lot of us are probably wishing for better days of the past... I go into the complexity of nostalgia in my newest piece:

The Duality of Nostalgia - we all wish from time to time to return to the "good old days," even if we know the old days weren't all that great.

Not to be a #resistlib, but I never had an egg shortage at my local Trader Joe's under Biden 🤔

Coming in hot with my first piece for my new Substack! I've written what could uncharitably be considered a plea for (carefully considered) self-censorship.

Enjoy!

Do people REALLY need to see what I'm about to post?? Social media and the internet in general are about to get a lot uglier, but we don't have to be dragged into the morass. A little self-reflection and purposefulness before posting can go a long way.

Happy to announce the first post on my new Substack is live! It's an intro to who I am and what angle I'll be talking about culture and politics from. I hope you'll enjoy!

Welcome to The Mid(dle...ing) Millennial! Because naming my new writing project "Ted Cruz's Communist Son He Doesn't Know About" seemed too aggressive...

Millennials had original FourLoko in the 2000s, Gen Z gets the half-ass knockoffs. Somehow the hard Monster at 6% ABV seems more likely to kill me though.
