About the Substack

Words about things.
Psychology, politics, and everything else, because everything is political, and everything boils down to psychology. Relevance may vary.

About Ian Douglas Rushlau

Husband, father of three grown kids who are better than me in every way, and I blame their mother for that. Psychologist. Philly born and bred. Antifascist.
