If you believe in free speech—not the slogan, but the dangerous, untamed variety—then subscribe to support uncensored, heretical writing. Every paid subscription buys more time to write without asking permission from the sort of people who think “problematic” is an argument.

Please subscribe to receive at least two pieces/essays per week with open comments. It’s $6 per month, less than USD $4.

I am re-releasing all old essays. I will be putting two books of essays out shortly, and this is part of my editing process. When I say I release two essays a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, I do not include these. I will remove the paywall for all of the reprints.
