Escapist Delights in a Crumbling Democracy w/ Maggie Jon

Hey Everyone!This was a big week of lives! I really love this collaborative aspect of Substack. I just wrote an article about it for The Writing Cooperative that should be published on Monday the 25th of August.This week we had Maggie Jon who had tons of wonderful insights! Also, Brandon Ellrich and Robin Wilding made an appearance. They came creeping in from real life to pester Ben, and it was a nice intersection point between the digital realm and reality.Gosh… sometimes I wonder what reality is at all. We talked about ‘Better Man,’ ‘John Wick,’ and ‘Weapons’ among other things.You can check out Maggie’s work here:I plan on having another chat about politics with Maggie next week.
