Stew on This is a kitchen of ideas, culture, and slow-simmered thought. It’s where I unpack the history behind our headlines, reflect on books and film, and write essays that connect the past to the present with both depth and voice.

This blog was born from burnout—with the rage of the news cycle, with the chaos of social media, and with the erasure of context that poisons our national discourse. What began in 2022 as Nothing New Under the Sun has now evolved into a space of narrative reflection, creative structure, and intellectual storytelling.

Stew’d Over reflects on history, politics, place, and identity.

Stew’d on Screen explores cinema, memory, and cultural meaning.

Stew’d and Bookmark’d offers deep reads and literary reflections.

This is not a hot take blog. It’s a slow-cooked one. I write for those who want to think more deeply, feel more fully, and connect the dots that our discourse leaves out.

Half of each post is available for free readers. The second half, where I connect ideas to current issues and stories, is reserved for paid subscribers, as this work requires time, care, and heart.

Welcome to the stew.
