Thank you for including me Ryka and Charles. 🖤🙏🏽
A lot of my fave here as well.
It is happening again
The Marigold by Andrew F. Sullivan
Every 18 months or so the Other Andrew Sullivan publishes something very stupid. This has happened for most of my life. He will die before me.
I am Andrew F. Sullivan. I write horror about reckonings and rot. And I have never known defeat.
So buy a book.
