UNCULTURED is available now anywhere you buy books, & the audio has been recommended by the NYT & Buzzfeed. Check out this sample chapter in @RollingStone, where you see cult kids training for the “persecution.” .

All the love for TPD, but just to be clear, it takes 75 years to declassify something.

Since she name dropped them, yes, Jehovah’s Witnesses are a cult.

She’s stuck in a city in Brazil, far from where she lives, and needs to be transferred for an operation. She’s also going to miss about a month of work. This is my fundraiser for her with my sincere thanks. American money goes along way down there too. 💔.

OMG, my best friend from childhood in the cult, Michaela (maybe you remember her from Uncultured), fell & snapped her leg in half, much in the same way I did back then. Oh, I remember the pain so vividly.

Today was fun, because the Uncultured paperback launched, & I read a portion of a chapter into my TikTok and I got flagged for a copyright violation, I think because it recognizes the text from when it was published by… @RollingStone! . A good launch! .

I have been trying to get this essay, on Veterans Day, military service, and how complicated it is for women veterans, published for about four years, but women veterans…. So grateful to @OpenSecretsMag, who gave it a home.

This is the only man I’ve heard say this. I’ve heard a lot of women say this. Every other man questioned the validity of the survey. Any organization with a 44% rape statistic is broken. #usarmy #departmentofdefense.

@daniellamyoung In my admittedly non-scientific survey of women vets I know, it was closer to 100% had experienced some kind of sexual assault or harassment.
