I've got some news.
OK Doomer has started recruiting some high-caliber writers. You might know them. For starters, we're going to be publishing some of Shannon Ashley's work, especially on culture and social issues like abuse.

I've got a few pieces up. The most recent one riffs on Adam McKay's Don't Look Up to provide a little perspective on a summer of scorching temperatures and climate collapse. The year 2050 has arrived way ahead of schedule. There's a lot we should all be doing if we want half a chance at survival:

This little blog is starting to turn into a platform. I'm planning to recruit more authors, and I'm paying them for their work. I'd like to pay them more. I'm thinking about creating a new optional tier where readers can subscribe to support not just me but a band of writers. Ultimately, I'd like this site to become a place where people go, even between newsletter updates.
If you'd like to see work from a range of voices who care deeply about public health, social health, and climate health, let me know.
We could grow this thing.
