The 10 Essays I'd Hand to a Friend
My most-read articles of the year
As we close out 2025, I put together something for you: a 75-page, downloadable special edition of my most popular articles of 2025.
It gives you a front-row seat to the year I watched democracy, Christian nationalism, masculinity, and white supremacy collide in real time — and tried to make sense of it.
Inside, you’ll get essays people saved, shared with their friends, and responded to with comments like this: “This is the best explanation I’ve seen since 2016.”
The best part: you’ll be able to go back whenever you want, so you won’t have to try to find it later.
It includes “The Messages That Broke Me”, about the hate I’ve received online, much of which comes from people with Bible verses in their bios. There’s also a piece on how Andrew Tate and others in the manosphere are influencing young men, and another on why faith never required women to be quiet, stay home, or give up their right to vote.
These paid articles are now available here for download, all together, for my paid subscribers.
