Your last post was wonderful and made me feel optimistic in dark times.

Your Atlantic story on your mother's Amway journey is a masterpiece. Thank you for your genius for compassionate writing.

andreapitzer.bsky.social•46 days ago

Thank you for the kind words, Barbara.

I’m from McDowell County, from a little place named Berwind. I look forward to the read

"My aim is true" got me.

andreapitzer.bsky.social•66 days ago

I think you're the first person to notice that line (or at least to mention it)! Welcome aboard.

If it's a reference to what I think it is, a Trust-era poster hangs in my living room.

(But I also appreciate the truth in the double-entendre.)

andreapitzer.bsky.social•66 days ago

The double entendre is the very reason I picked that line. :)

I’ll check it out. I’ve also added you to a starter pack I created called Authorities on Authoritarianism.

Hi Andrea. The rouge nation concept was so appropriate when you published that edition of Next Comes What. I can't help thinking we've dropped even further. Masha Gessen's characterization of Russia as a mafia society suddenly applies to us, too. Sad times. Your friend in Eugene, Ore. Matt

I'm trying to subscribe to your newsletter, but the submission keeps spooling rather than completing. This has been going on for almost ten minutes.

andreapitzer.bsky.social•128 days ago

you probably already successfully subscribed, if you were trying to do the free version! i need to build an extra window that will let you know that. DM me the email account you used to register, and i'll double check that you're in the system...

saskiacat1.bsky.social•128 days ago

I'm subscribed. I just got the cc confirmation.

saskiacat1.bsky.social•128 days ago

No, I was trying to pay the $60. It's still spooling. I'll DM you my email (if I can figure out how to do that...new here.)

andreapitzer.bsky.social•128 days ago

You can DM me by clicking the icon in your Bluesky navigation bar that looks like this. We'll definitely get it sorted out!

Hi Andea, I just found about you on Harry Litman's Talking Fed's. on YouTube (Signposts of Democratic Decline) Very interesting conversation, thank you. Enjoy a great day.

You had me at “unsettled childhood in West Virginia”.
- former West Virginian (Putnam County) with both an unsettled and unsettling childhood.

Just subscribed and your podcast is one of the best things out there. Just out of curiosity, any relationship to my Alma mater Pitzer College?
