The Lilith Fair doc was incredible. As a huge fan of those women, I wish I could have been there. I am now attending concerts with my daughter & feel what are likely similar vibes at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour & Gracie Abrams: love & acceptance. As a mom, it gives me hope for the next generation.

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday?

What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators?

Can we make this a thing?

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
