I think I’ll be fine
I want to lay down a few markers here for folks as the clock starts ticking down to the release of the Epstein Files.
1) You are going to learn about a lot more disgusting and sickening things people said, joked about and maybe even did. You will likely be disappointed in someone you had admired

For @hyperallergic.com I wrote about Fletcher Hank, one of the oddest ducks in comics history
Before Wonder Woman, There Was Fantomah
Fletcher Hanks, a cantankerous cartoonist who was active only from 1939 to ’41, left behind a complex legacy and bizarre body of work. A new book offers clues about his enigmatic life.

Zohran Mamdani gave Hinge its greatest advertising possibly ever. I keep seeing women mention how he and Rama met on the app in their profiles. Just saw one who said she's looking to be someone's aloof wife. It truly is a new day in New York

I often tell myself that my refusal to engage with this held back my writing career. Is it true? I don't know
I think a lot of people don’t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s “the only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and trauma” culture was.
