IWMF Instagram Stories Data Baby Takeover
Recently, the International Women’s Media Foundation allowed me to takeover their Instagram Stories to post about my new memoir, DATA BABY: My Life in a Psychological Experiment. The IWMF’s Howard G. Buffett Fund for Women Journalists provided grant support for my book. I really enjoyed doing this, as Stories is one of my favorite mediums. You can’t see it here, but the layering enables you to combine images and text and music and little cartoons of people doing things. In other words, the stories come alive.

Scenes From My Life in a Psychological Experiment
Me, for Slate:
“Suddenly, I freeze. In the large mirror on the opposite wall, my hot cheeks are pink, flushed with my embarrassment. Somehow I have surmised the truth: I am not alone. Someone on the other side of the mirror is watching me.”

The Jezebels
The Death of Jezebel by Gustav Doré | Wikipedia
Anna Holmes has an interesting piece at The New Yorker: “Jezebel and the Question of Women’s Anger.” Holmes was the founding editor of Jezebel in its heyday, and she explores how the website was groundbreaking in its articulations of the things women are not supposed to discuss and the ways in which they are not supposed to discuss them. I am briefly mentioned in the essay, as someone who complained Jezebel’s writers were doing little more than “‘caterwauling about the patriarchy.’” In any case, the story is a good read and a thoughtful consideration of whether or not the feminist blogosphere laid the groundwork for today’s online fracturosphere. I do wish, though, that she had talked more about the current state of Jezebel and what she thinks of it now. Was Jezebel subsumed … or a feminist-rage machine not built to last?
