There is a lot of wisdom on so many levels in this article. It touches on loss of identity after being fired, how writing keeps some of us sane, and the disgusting purge of racialized, progressive voices from mainstream media.

A lot of people have said that getting fired from the Washington Post is a "badge of honor".
It's....complicated.

In her book Sarah Wynn-Williams writes about how people in Zuck’s orbit would let him win at games and he was too thick to see what was going on. Our billionaire ruling class is so petty that’s the kind of thing that must’ve really set him off when he read it.
