thoughts shaken, stirred, and served

Welcome to THINK by MC Coolidge

Think by MC Coolidge -- it's where I write about life, love, politics, planet, birds, aging, what's right, what's wrong -- the whole shebang of being alive: shaken, stirred, and served ... for when your mind is thirsty.         

Come along with me on a journey of drinking deep, if not at a Pierian Spring, then at least at the font of earnest inquiry.  Think is sort of martini for the mind, if you will.  Only no hangover.

It’ll be fun and I’ll make you think. And I'll bet you'll do the same in return in the comment section.

I promise to write my heart (and mind) out for you. I promise to share ideas, stories, and perspectives that will piss some readers off, offer others a good laugh, shine a light on issues that affect us all, obsess about birds, and give everyone some food for thought — serious and lighthearted in equal measure.

I invite you to be a part of my Think tank by subscribing to receive my thoughts and essays via email (see subscription button below). My hope is that it's like being part of a community of like-minded lovers of the written word who would have been thrilled to provide a room of one’s own to Virginia Woolf, who would have jumped at the chance to pay Dorothy Parker’s bar tab at the Algonquin, or who would just like to revisit the rapport between Shakespeare and Henry Wriothesley (well, okay, I’m no Bard and you’re probably not a nobleman from Tudor England, but you get the point).

In these wild and woolly times, with local newspapers and media outlets shrinking, and with a growing contingent of Americans waging an assault on free press and free thinking — well, being a patron of Think is one way to keep writers writing and support the necessary exchange of deeper, sometimes challenging, thinking and ideas. And bird pics.

There are several subscription options — three that are paid and one that is free. If you decide to subscribe, whether paid or free, that’s awesome — I’m excited to interact with readers at all levels of subscription. If subscribing is not your thing — no worries; Think by MC Coolidge is meant to be an exchange with people who have a jones for my writing as much as I have a jones for writing for them!

If you’ve got that jones, I'm looking forward to writing -- for you!
