Editorial Work
A book and lots of articles, from social justice to tech and back again.
My Book
The Beauty Suit: How My Year of Religious Modesty Made Me a Better Feminist (Beacon Press, 2018) was based on an experiment I did where I stopped wearing makeup and covered my hair, arms and legs. It caused an international stir, and kept me up nights for a good five years. (Worth it.) Read Amazon's selected sample here.
Articles

The Propwatch Project

Infrastructure and development
RealityTeam
We used memes and viral marketing to combat propaganda in late 2020 and early 2021, which required a lot of coffee and deep breathing exercises.
