Welcome to 24 Hour Pancake People. It’s nice to have you here. Pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup of coffee.

This is where I put my thoughts when they won’t fit in my brain, in my books, or anywhere else. Thoughts about America, mostly: our food, our people, our problems. There are recipes, memoirs, musings, and even a bit of fiction – all of which helps me make sense of the mess that is my homeland.

Why subscribe?

Paid subscribers will occasionally get special articles that are either too personal or too complicated to give away for free, but these will only be published sporadically. Mostly, paid subscribers get nothing. But every cent I make is donated to charities and progressive activist groups, so it’s still worthwhile!

Stay up-to-date

When you subscribe, every new post is sent directly to your email inbox. For a spam-free, ad-free reading experience which also includes notes recommending articles I enjoy by other authors, get the Substack app.
