Cancel culture’s gonna get you

 Sung to the tune of John Lennon’s “Instant Karma”


Cancel culture’s gonna get you
Gonna catch you in your bed
You better get woke baby
Or your Twitter feed will be dead.
What were you drinking, booze?
When you voted for Ted Cruz?
What were you thinking of
When you gave Matt Gaetz your love?

Well we all shine it on
With Kemp and Rudy and Don
Who do you think you are?
A superstar? How wrong you are!

(You are cordially invited to finish the lyrics in the comments section.)

I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)
