So I wrote a piece for Salon, which you can see here
The title they plopped on there is totally cringe-inducing and not at all the point of the article, and there were some edits that maybe snipped a bit of my sense of humor out, but all in all I’m pretty happy with it, and am genuinely touched by some of the thank you comments I received. I would also like to inform the trollish commenter who urged me to “grow a pair” that if I could do that, I’m preeeeety sure I could get at least a 1,000 words out of that, and then you’d have to read my stuff even more than you are already forced to do (which is a lot, obvs). So, you know, be careful what you wish for, internet mean guy.
