Full-length posting around here has been light lately, I know.
Here’s why. I’ve resigned from my 20-year job as Executive Director of Funeral Consumers Alliance. FCA is a nonprofit organization that helps grieving families avoid being overcharged, helps them plan funerals that are affordable, and that speaks for the interests of consumers before national regulators.
Why? I’m being cancelled. Because of the show Disaffected, because of this Substack. Because I am not woke. Because I will not call men women. Because I will not worship the race baiters of Black Lives Matter. Because I correctly point out that woke hard-left women are running our culture right into the ground.
Naturally, woke, hard-left women (yes, my friends, every one of my persecutors known to me is a woman, many of whom were colleagues until they turned on me this month) bite like asps when they’re seen and recognized.
There are also very good, dedicated people volunteering their time to keep the FCA on course through this. They do not deserve the way they have been treated, either. They are in an impossible situation. I am glad to say that the national board, to whom I answer, and I, have come to a mutually agreeable departure plan. The organization does good work, and I support its core mission.
I’ll have more details for you when the time is right.
Right now, Kevin Hurley and I are working hard on Disaffected. If you don’t know his name, he is my friend and co-owner of our project. He’s the technical producer, and the show was his idea. You don’t see him every week, but he does as much or more as I do to make this happen.
We’re buckling down to make the show and its associated projects bigger and better. In the meantime, I have a lot of work to do to prepare for my departure from my position at the end of 2022.
All that is to say—if you’ve been considering a paid subscription, now would be a great time. Every bit helps when one is wondering how the rent’s going to get paid.
Thank you to all of you for reading and supporting our project.

Damn. FCA sounds like a much-needed organization and a rewarding occupation (or at least had been) for you. I am saddened that you are being driven away and disgusted that FCA is allowing this to happen. I do admire you for standing your ground.
I just changed my subscription plan from $70.00 per year to $210.00 per year. I hope it will help a little. You and Kevin are doing good work and I want to see it continue.
It’s strange that the “helping” professions seem to be the opposite right now. And all the good one has ever done in the world, in the past, for countless others is simply forgotten bc you won’t bend.
