Finally finished my piece for Substack. It's an essay on the rise in addiction and homelessness related crackdowns, and how an attempt to better understand these issues may have had unintended consequences for how we approach treating it. Check it out!
The War on Visible Poverty, and Addiction as Metaphor
Contemporary crackdowns on America's poorest may be informed by our better understanding of addiction- but that may be making them worse.

Anyone who has ever been described as a “wonk” needs to be launched into space. For people who self-describe themselves as that we cannot risk failure, and need to ship them immediately to the closest volcano. It’s the only way

Yum! brands the owner of Taco Bell was one of the only stocks that rallied today based on expectations of increased sales revenue for this quarter. Screw everything else that happened in the market today, this is the biggest recession indicator.

For people wondering why every Republican is acting like they live in the deepest red district in Kentucky rn- worth noting is that the GOP consensus machine is stronger than its maybe ever been. Republicans face an immediate primary challenger bankrolled by Musk but also-

I love going on Reels cause half the time it’s just a video of someone getting murdered followed by a Peter Griffin account explaining Scientology. Im not sure how they’re gonna include that in the upcoming The Social Network sequel but it’s gotta be somewhere.

Now I know everyone is very scared about everything going on right now, but I’ve been speaking to a group of democratic consultants and they’ve assured me that if we simply toss a few hundred trans people and student protesters into a volcano, we might have a chance at squeaking out the midterms

Rereading Sontag for a piece I’m writing, and came across this incredible section. Denying access to ideas is as much about group/identity formation as it is an attempt to punish others. A lot of parallels here in the harm reduction/food assistance space.

Least favorite journalistic tic is when we get 100 articles saying, "Trump is threatening to break things- but some Democrats think some things should be broken sometimes."
Like yeah, ideology exists.

Unbelievably proud of this piece I wrote reconceptualizing the crackdowns on open-air drug use and homelessness through the lens of Sontag’s work on disease and metaphor. Spent 2 years researching and speaking to people in Philly/US at large for it. Will be on my substack of not accepted anywhere

Guest Commentary: Is Our Homeless Population Count Correct?
The Point in Time (PIT) count of people living on the streets or in shelters helps determine federal funding. So why isn’t it more accurate?

It's a real catastrophe for the Western left that so many people let themselves be convinced the Maidan was a CIA ruse.
people were melting police tanks to the street with Molotov catapults built into their Ice Fortress. you call yourself an anarchist and don't find that hot as fuck?

Very much not looking forward to the right wing Lysenko
said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.
