I am a sober person who overshares in the hopes that someone else hears what they need. I also write about politics and culture. Want to support me more substantially, take my workshop or become a patron of my podcast!

More about the "blog."

Note: Welcome to my new blog. I don't know how long it will last. I'm aiming to publish once a week, and everything I have scheduled for the next few weeks is about recovery, because that's my priority right now. But blogs can cover a lot of ground, IIRC. It's been awhile. There's a further note about the blog below.

It seems fitting, also, to connect coffee and recovery.

You can get all public posts emailed to you by giving a single, one-time donation. There are monthly support options that will get you exclusive posts and the ability to AMA.

I am refusing to start a newsletter for now. Substack sucks. The other options require a level of organization and administration I can't commit to at the moment. But I know how to blog! So I'm blogging, here. At some point, enough monthly supporters might make it worth the energy and time to transition to Ghost or Buttondown or some other option I don't know about yet.

But, man, I hate newsletters. Perhaps I will write a post about the newsletter bubble and how terrible it is for the journalism industry. However, my recovery program advises against cultivating resentment and anger. It also counsels "restrain of pen and tongue," which could substantially limit me as a blogger. We shall see.
