I think you have important things to say. It's a shame you didn't keep this blog up, but I can sympathize with feelings of burnout.

Thank you so much! I’ve drafted several pieces, but haven’t been able to really coalesce anything into something I’m happy with releasing. But this might be the encouragement I need to get back to it.

Don't let me encourage you too much - I know you have at least one child, and we aren't necessarily worth your time. My experience as a blogger is that, after being raised by cell phones, socialized by Twitter, and addicted to the cadences of YouTube Shorts, most Substack readers are reluctant to actually *read* posts. It's true that crafting a piece with care can increase readers' willingness to dig through what you have to say, but even when it comes to the best pieces from the most popular bloggers, most of us will merely skim, react emotionally, and move on.

Thank you Joshua... It was just right in front of me! :-) ... I also subscribe to Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi. I too have been researching Covid from the get-go so am very interested in anything you post. Thank you for using your voice!
