David Futrelle FAQ

 

slightly blue picture of me
It’s-a-me!

I‘m a freelance writer and blogger living in Chicago, with two awesome cats (pictured below, slightly greasy with eardrop residue).

I’ve been writing on topics ranging from gender and culture to money and technology for more than twenty years. And I’ve been blogging at We Hunted the Mammoth, with one hiatus, since 2010. 

My writing has appeared in a wide variety of places, among them Broadly, TheCut, Salon,  HuffPost, Time.com, The American Prospect, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times Book Review. A lifetime ago, I was books and culture editor at In These Times. And I was a staff writer at Money magazine for a number of years.

I’m also a writing coach specializing in writer’s block. If you’re feeling stuck, I can help to get you productive again—and teach you techniques that will enable you to unblock yourself in the future. If you’re struggling to figure out what you want to say, I can be your sounding board and brainstorming partner. I can help you to develop a regular writing habit and serve as an accountability partner to keep you on track. For more details, and to set up a free half-hour consultation, see here.

I make videos! See me on YouTube.

Once upon a time I spawned the viral hit blog Confused Cats Against Feminism.

Oh, and I was once profiled in the New York Times.

Here, as promised, are my cats, early in their careers as cats. Yes, they are much cuter than me.

Sweetie and Pantz, doing the kitten thing.

My thought would be do you send automatic emails out to subscribers or to humans in general? Thanks!

Hi David, found in the wild. Summary; story is about a mother who enforced an allergen-free birthday party for her 12-month old with severe food allergies. Baby’s father and his family refused to even try the allergen-free food and whined they wanted (dangerous) pizza. My comment:

“The audacity.
I hope that mother NEVER leaves her little one alone with her in laws. They sound like the type to deliberately give her “forbidden” foods because they don’t “believe” in allergies.
I hope she’s also re-examining her marriage. What kind of man prioritises his family’s desire to eat pizza over his daughter’s health???”

One Brad Sutton’s reply to me;
“one who is stuck with a wife who wants to rule the roost as self appointed dictator.
The husband gets an EQUAL say in the food.
He can have some non vegan food included and she can have some vegan food included.
A healthy compromise on food placement and safety measures is fine”.

He’s getting TRASHED, but continues to willfully miss the point. He’s actually used the word “misadry”.

Please do a post about Jordan Peterson crying on TV over hearing comments from Olivia Wilde’s movie character she based off him.

I’m the guy who started the Boycott American Women blog, and i admit i was quite a woman hater but i went thru a spiritual awakening and now I’m trying to heal women instead of hurt them. Anyway if you wanna ask me questions or do an interview, just DM me on instagram at tantrahealermaster

A couple of the topics on Corey’s (see above) Instagram:

Sexual Wellness become a Sex God

Yoni Massage never to late to have a new Pu$$y

Corey’s pics are quite an eyeful, but I don’t think he could ever turn me into a sex god. And I’m reasonably happy with my existing pu&&y, even though I’ll never make any $$ from it.

I’m not sure that his boycott of American women has had any effect on us. That said, it’s nice that he no longer wants to hurt women.
