What we believe

We believe in truth and the pursuit of it. Know thyself. Be cunning, but not sly. Treat every being as you wish to be treated. We say the hard things. We shake the tree.

Our Point of View

The world is full of sleepwalkers.

We’re here to rattle the cage.
Say the hard things — clearly, artfully, and without apology.
If a story doesn’t stir something in the gut, make someone see differently, or shake loose an old truth, it’s not for me.
