Deciphering & rewilding culture with humor & honesty + writing (witchcraft)… from a cultural misfit dwelling at the intersection of arts & Alaskan wilderness

I named my newsletter The Feral Stack because the way Anglo-American culture has been doing things is no longer working. In this newsletter, we examine culture deeply, going beyond the vapid to connect behaviors and values that no longer serve us while offering up new ones that do. We look at other cultures, species, and intelligences for guidance in rewilding and deprogramming, but we do it with humor and irreverence.

The people who sign up for my newsletter are thoughtful, open-hearted individuals hungry for change. When you sign up for the Feral Stack, you become part of an inspiring, kind, and engaged community of cultural misfits.
