Why subscribe to BordoLines?

Have you ever thought “Wow, I’m so glad someone finally said that out loud!”

Have you ever felt the author of a book or article was reading your mind?

Do you hate jargon and relish a feeling of intimacy with a writer?

Do you love what’s great in popular culture, but sometimes feeling like hurling a rock at the television?

Do you want to engage in conversations about events that have daily impact on your life?

………………………………

If you answered “yes” to any or all of these, you should consider subscribing to BordoLines, my brand-new newsletter for Substack.

In it, I’ll try to do what I’ve always tried to do in my work: articulate and bring experience, honesty, clear thinking—and receipts!!—to what I know many others are thinking.

For me, writing is an act of communication and community. And I’m especially interested in what’s been overlooked, suppressed, or worthy of some attention, praise, or criticism that hasn’t yet happened.

In BordoLines, you’ll get my line—in a wide range of pieces that will defy the conventional borders of discussion about contemporary culture.

Movies, television, ads, politics, journalism, pop culture: I’m gonna cover the waterfront. I hope you’ll come along with me!

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.
