My very first essay has been published for @thewalrus.ca. When I was 11 years old I watched the watched the excellent Battlestar Galactica series. This show played a massive influence in my life. For the past two years I have been reflecting a lot about this series. And I wrote an essay about it.

We stand in solidarity with our @condeunion.bsky.social siblings at @teenvogue.com who were unceremoniously laid off last week.
Layoffs are not a solution to unbalanced budgets, especially when those laid off come from marginalized backgrounds typically not represented at major media orgs.

That’s a hell of a way to run a news organisation.
I worked 43 years in journalism, for a lot of news organisations, but I never encountered such political pressure being exerted by the top on news stories.
Stories with predetermined narratives that fit the leader’s personal views.

100% accurate. The Pittsburgh synagogue shooting will be in retrospect a clear moment when the rise in Islamophobia spilled over into antisemitism.
By the by, I'm not sure you get the slow upswing in blatant antisemitism/groyperism on the right without the broad mainstreaming of blatant Islamophobia during the Bush and Obama eras. The xenophobic image of the Anti-Christian Other was always going to extend to American Jews

Caroline's column has been some of the best writing the site has featured in a long time, and this is one of the best installments.
I went a bit meta with this month's Women of Action column to talk about what it's like to watch a movie with "strong female characters" when you don't exactly trust that the director actually loves strong women
Revenge is never simple—neither is the legacy of Kill Bill
Kill Bill was born from a collaboration between Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman. Its complex legacy reflects that double-edged origin.
