One hell of a week
Hi, hello, and thank you
Hi everyone. You’re probably here because of my detainment and deportation at the hands of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
I got through the week only because of the generosity and support of many of you. Thank you. It means the world.
I thought I’d share a few pieces from the week, and from this blog. There’s plenty more to come, including a book about masculinity and gender. I hope you stick around for the ride.

I just read your New Yorker article. Incredible! I’m Canadian and I definitely won’t be going anywhere near the US until they are back to the normal country they were before Trump. Although I am doubtful they can go ever back. So much damage already! Thanks for your warning!
It would be nice to read this article, if it wasn’t behind a paywall.
