About

Hi, I’m Tom – and I write about film, philosophy, politics, culture, and literature. I try to post an essay in the last week of every month but, due to life and other distractions, this has become a goal rather than a habit. This site began as a way to express myself without reservation, and I hope you enjoy my many attempts to say something worth saying.

As to my background, I have a few degrees in philosophy and politics from once-reputable institutions, and I was raised in half-Catholic, staunchly working-class household. Since my student days, I have worked as both an advertising copywriter and as a full-time scribbler at a political magazine.
