I wonder if you would read this.

Which led me to this: https://francesleader.substack.com/cp/129038137

I'm a bit behind on my reading, but I will have to put this to the front. It appears to be classic. Thank you. (I think.)

Hey Doug - I haven't read that one, kind of played out. She can be snarly, so go slow. She's got a lot of good work there about radiation, black nobility... A sweet piece on water if you go back. (don't put her on the defensive, she'll bite back, but she has a good heart and loves questions and likely will point you in a good direction)

If you're new to all this, take your time. It can all be a bit jarring. I telly myself I don't need to believe or disbelieve or go places I'm not ready to, or places I've read too much about. There's some really fringey stuff out there too, some is fascinating, some beyond dispiriting....)

No problem at all. To clarify: the idiot's guide I found on her site looks great. It looks like perfect satire. So good, I wanted to thank the lady who led me to it (although I'll read it later--maybe, as I have tens of thousands of pages of saved articles).

Yeah I saw, just never read it.
