This is Kel - a slightly sleep-deprived, overly caffeinated, writer working in mental health care by day... ... and delivering a great substack publication by night... She turns burnout, behaviour, chaos, compassion, and the occasional existential spiral into great writing. Her writing makes us feel less alone, more understood.
Glenn Greenwald has earns a lifetime pass as a journalist who I will listen to based solely on what he did with Edward Snowden and if you don't know about that you owe it to yourself as an American to check it out. This is a very brave, intelligent, independent man that has a voice I believe will remain crucial for as long as he desires.
Check out his post that went viral, called headlines for Hope and you will understand the power of substack and the magic of positivity.
There's no doubt that Betty his son is extremely smart but I wish that coupled with his extensive and accurate information, if he would call both sides out a little more. However, for writers under 50 today in the political commentary world for the left, you don't get bigger than him
Wife of the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, a revolutionary, wants him to get his freedom along with millions of others. When you hear about this fact leaked or this fact leaked nowadays you need to remember that he started this and the transparency made governments so angry that he became Most Wanted. Regardless of what you think he did wrong (or not) he did enough right (in terms of gifting us transparency) and the attention he got should show you that this is someone we need talking.
