Unhingement, So Hot Right Now
The world has gone mad. Roasting the madness is my passion. And Burn It All Down is my weekly-ish newsletter chronicling our Age of Unhingement™️.
What is the Age of Unhingement™️?
Thanks for asking. It’s my name for these hypermediated, bizarro times where societal collapse meets buccal fat removal.
At the end of last year, I was interviewed for a New Yorker article about what we are calling this chaotic era. Age of Unhingement™️ was referred to as a take on the “spiritual infirmity” of the times — an assessment I agree with since the word infirmity evokes an old man in a diaper, the exact level of derangement that has dominated the vibes in recent years.
But Unhingement is not just a years-long spiritual crisis experienced in news cycles. Unhingement is also an opportunity to revel in the absurdity of a world where people invest their energy in becoming LinkedIn influencers while the oceans boil and rise.
But what exactly do you dish on, girl?
Great question. I dish on unhinged trends, culture, vibes and basically all the hopes and horrors of being alive these days. Lately, for obvious reasons, I’ve been writing a lot about America’s quest to elect a new el presidente.
But nothing is off the table — not beverages losing the plot, or tech titans having the wrong ideas, or millennials suffering from age blindness, or SpongeBob’s recent autism diagnosis, or that time I got naked and howled at the full moon with a group of woo-woo women.
The only way out is through and the better way through is together.
So join me as I do my best to unpack what the fuck is going on in these fuckass times … right here … on my Substack.

I’m a writer and social strategist who has seen too much and felt it all. If I’m Jane Goodall, our culture of Unhingement is the chimps.
I’ve made content for too many companies and some of the most famous people in the world. You’ve probably “liked” my work. I’ve been at this too long. I’m a wizened old sage in internet years.
I was born and raised in Toronto (smugly Canadian) and currently reside in Los Angeles where I enjoy the nice weather and complaining about how insane everyone is.
You can follow me on Instagram or send me an email. I love to chat.
