I write about politics, gender, history, popular culture, and mass media—what moves me, what delights me, what irritates me, and what worries me—from movies and cable tv to mainstream news publications and broadcasts to commercials and ads.
An occasional humor column, much like the one I did at The New York Times, which was called "I Was Misinformed". But now, the only gatekeeper is me. I hear I will let me get away with anything.
Would you like to get newsletters worth reading about books worth reading? Long reads, original video, exclusive interviews and much more from the world's greatest writers of fiction.
A newsletter for people who love literature! Insider info on writing criticism and my book currently in production, a biography of Anne Frank. Just begun: a monthly group read featuring Israeli and Palestinian authors.
On writing, living with cats, being a widow, movies, running, my current workshops & what we are reading, books, comedy, nature, gardening, friendship, more.
Essays about artists and other adults I admire. But also poems, recommendations, and serializing a memoir I'm writing called "Happiness Ruined Everything," chapters of which I'll post probably once a week. Oh, and I don't believe in trigger warnings.

Breaking down Evangelical Patriarchy, Christian Fundamentalism, and the "cult without walls" impacting our political headlines, culture, and personal histories.
