awesome - thanks for re-booting this! one of my favorite substacks. too few journalists do original reporting on social disorder imho, so thank you for doing it (and i wish more journalists in other cities around the country would start!).
Looking forward to this being revived. This was one of the first substacks I found and it will be great to see it return. An actual critical/dissident sociologist!
Congratulations on the new most important job you will ever have, Father to a child! Loved your work at Public and look forward to supporting you here!
Does Gabor Mate’s work in Canada re harm reduction with the addicted population there influence your thinking or are all addicts to be criminalized via rebirth of tough on crime agenda in the city? Tough times to be a progressive sociologist.
Glad to have this back ,bro. And huge congrats on the more important news.
Thank you, man. Let's find ways to collaborate.
I am always up for it.
Oooo... I can't wait for that!
I love your writing, I could always tell when you contributed to a piece without looking at the byline. Welcome back and congrats on the new baby!
Thank you so much!
