money, politics, and a nation in crisis

Switching to Ghost wasn’t just a platform move—it was a reset. Substack felt like renting space in someone else’s building; Ghost feels like owning the land. The site is mine from the ground up: design, data, and direction. No algorithms pushing or hiding posts, no middleman skimming off the top. Just a clean, fast, reader-first experience that puts the words where they belong—front and center. It’s the right home for Burnt Ground, and for the kind of writing I intend to keep doing.
