This newsletter sits at the intersection of patriarchy and politics in red state America. Think of reading this newsletter as sitting down with a good friend over bourbon and yelling about politics and chatting about life. This newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny, and always raises hell. I’ve written about the rise and fall of Gateway Computers, analyzed the influence of gas station culture, and I’ve written about motherhood and ambition.

Once a week, New York Times bestselling author Michael Perry sits down in the little writing room above his garage and records a voice mail version of one of his “Roughneck Grace” columns, or a passage from one of his 20-plus books, or shares a passage from a book or a song that’s not out yet, or goes on an unscripted ramble about how things are going behind the scenes (including photos) and then reflects on things in general.
