Some personal news. A second book is in the works.
The Fullerton Furry Murders, an investigation of a triple homicide in Orange County in 2016 that crystallizes the moment we're living through and has utterly consumed my life.

Anti-natalists aren't the only ones who feel like giving up right now. But life is worth living.

Capitalism has sprouted in the Last Free Place in America and with it a gun-slinging gangster figure, a fledgling Swearengen of the Slabs. But one hippie and Marine Corps vet refuses to back down....

Part 2 of my series on Slab City. In this post I’ve profiled 4 residents—a biker, a bearded lady, a cancer survivor and a mother on the run from the law.
These are the forgotten dramas of the American story. Life on the margins in every sense.

At a time when America is unraveling, I returned to a place where America has already unraveled and yet somehow persists - Slab City, near the Salton Sea, a fascinating experiment in freedom.
This is the first of three pieces.

Slab City: Ask The Dust
The Slabs are America's conscience, a living critique of a dream in decline. And, if we're not careful, a foreshadowing.

The absurdity that skinny 100lb women can beat the daylights out of 200lb men has become a default setting on TV. I get that little girls must be propagandized into the belief they are better than men at literally everything, but come on. Are feminists that fragile? #thelastofus

Why are subcultures more suspicious of the mainstream today while mainstream culture is more accepting of them than ever?
In this essay, I explore what’s changed, why them-and-usness is harder to crack, and what we need to do about it.

Can We All Just Talk To Each Other Please?
We might be doomed if we don't. On fringe groups, the media and how safe spaces can endanger us all.
