Michelle's take on poverty and privilege, how they intersect, and how what points create change is fantastic. So many great takes, go to her Substack for the anti-billionaire content and stay for cute dog pics.

Light Work

By Tarra

I teach women how to use language to get paid. I break down the conceptual metaphors controlling your earning potential and give you the linguistic tools to negotiate higher rates, price with confidence, and build wealth.

Come for the monsters and stay for the metaphors! A great place to find fantastic analysis of gender, bodies, boundaries, and text.
