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.

“Susan is one of my favorite people on substack or anywhere. We don’t always agree, but when we don’t, I go back to the drawing board because she’s a great writer and thinker, and she does the research that I almost certainly have not done. Some of substack’s finest media criticism, and among the very few writers who can get me to watch a show or movie I didn’t want to see. You probably need Susan in your life; I know I did. ”

“I love Susan's wise and often funny posts on our culture. I always learn something, whether about feminism, movies/tv shows, or, in her last post, the real history of the fashion item known as the Shmatte. ”
