    Oh thank God. I was so excited about the golf and the movies that I had completely forgotten about the orange monster who threatens my freedom, health and safety. That was a close one. Thank you sir.

    I don’t care that Tiger Woods won the Masters. I don’t care that the Avengers: Endgame film opens next week. I don’t care that the final season of Game of Thrones starts tonight. I ONLY care about getting that treasonous, autocratic SOB out of the White House ASAP.

    Thank you all for your love and support of The Establishment over the years. It couldn't have existed without you, and I wouldn't be me without you.

    Finally, I'm forever grateful for the wonderful friendships I made in The Establishment, and especially for the deep comraderie of and - this will not be the last time we work together. I'm sure of it.

    this was an idea that launched many careers. I loved acquiring and editing the work of new writers, and I love seeing how many are still writing today. However brief, our time in this vast media landscape made a great impact. I'm so very proud.

    And I'm not alone. The Establishment's weird idea that women, trans people, non-binary people, people of color, disabled people, sex workers - and so many others of us often dismissed - could comment on anything happening in the world and that commentary was valuable...

    In that role I was able to practice writing every day, hone my craft, and find my audience. Some of my best pieces to this day live in The Establishment. I would not be the writer I am today without that amazing opportunity.

    When I hopped on a call in 2015 with Katie and Kelley, I thought they were going to ask me to be a contributor to their secret squirrel project. I didn't know they were going to offer me the life-changing role of Editor at Large.

    Farewell to The Establishment. I had just quit my day job, to follow this wild dream of writing full time, and I had no clue if I was going to make it...
