It’s election eve and Americans are on edge. I raged about a news item before 8 AM. And yesterday, I woke up with burning, itching eyes from eye strain. Seventy percent of you feel the same way. Tomorrow, I will host an election night chat for paying subscribers only. But today, I want to open up the discussion for everyone, because we can all use some good news. Share something that is giving you hope, or one good thing you saw in the news. And I don’t mean poll results. I mean something actually good. Usually, the Monday discussion is for paying subscribers only. But today, it’s opened up for everyone, so please don’t be butt-heads. Assume the best of everyone. Try not to make sweeping generalizations about religion, identity, or geography. Men Yell at Me is a subscriber-supported newsletter. My mid-week and Friday newsletters will always be free. Paid subscribers can join in the vibrant community of activists, experts, and the kind of people that give you hope for America. Paid subscribers can comment, chime in on weekly threads, and join the Discord community where we make jokes about Iowa ham balls (IYKYK and IFYK you are probably in the Discord), we talk politics (don’t worry, it’s nice!) and debate gas station pizza. You can follow me on Instagram for dog pictures or on Twitter for takes too spicy for the Midwest. I’m also a freelance writer and author. You can find more of my work, here. |
