Alienation, autonomy, and ideology
Hi folks! I wanted to send along an announcement that Base and Superstructure now has a Patreon page. I’m happy to accept monthly patrons starting at $3 per month.
The blog itself will always remain free of charge! But I’ll have a few extras for patrons.

Two years ago – on June 22, 2018 – Mattachine Society president and pre-Stonewall gay rights activist Dick Leitsch died at the age of 83. I’ll share with readers what I wrote about him in a Facebook post a few weeks ago. I wanted to highlight him and his work for Pride Month.
I’m sure some of you have already noticed, but I’ve put a new Services page on the blog. I’m now taking on freelance work! Anyone need a freelance writer? If so, I’d be happy to discuss pricing, topics, etc. Just click the link above to find out more.
Racial justice demonstrations and protests erupted across the U.S. over the last few weeks. Each location added its own flavor, and Iowa City was no exception. Iowa City’s contribution comes from the Iowa Freedom Riders.
I’ve followed along with the progress of the Iowa Freedom Riders from demonstration and march to protest movement. Usually not in-person, due to some family health issues. But certainly by live broadcast. Here’s a bit about what the Iowa Freedom Riders have done and how it’s going.
With summer upon us and coronavirus lingering in the air, I bring to you a new season’s installment of the reading list series! The public library in Iowa City remains closed, and so I’ve had to get creative about where I find materials. In some cases, I’m reading some things on my shelf I put there years ago.
Without further ado, here are 5 books I’ve recently read.
