The best and the best of 2023
It’s some time between Christmas and New Years. You’re full of cheese and have had too much wine. You’re working. You’re napping. You’re ready for it —
My best and my best of 2023.
I wrote 88 pieces this past year for Substack. I had no idea. That explains why it felt like my time was more stretched than ever. Now, less than half are ICYMIs from the podcast but still — 88 plus writing for The Maple, The Nation and a new book? Not bad.
I wanted to share with you the top five and bottom five more read things that I wrote for Substack in the past year. Even the least read pieces are pretty good. So — here are the least read pieces. Or, the stuff that you might have missed.
-5. Least read (probably because I accidentally put it behind a paywall!)

-1.
And, here are the most read.
1. As I knew it would, this one got into the weird world of this issue and was spread far and wide. It was written after a column on the same topic I pitched was rejected.
