In an exclusive first excerpt from ‘Extremely Online,’ @TaylorLorenz breaks down how Julia Allison invented being an influencer a decade before it was popular — and was vilified for it. trib.al/OhSXOSE

The first excerpt from my new book EXTREMELY ONLINE is out now!! Julia Allison was one of the first multi platform influencers, but never got credit for what she pioneered. She was subject to non stop misogynistic hate. Her story represents so much rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

@mcoatney @moorehn Hey @Inc - are editors who work for you commenting on women’s bodies consistent with your internal policies? Because it’s 2023, and I thought we weren’t doing that anymore. Not that we ever should have.

@moorehn Julia Allison isn’t that skinny….

NY: What do you have? LA: Who do you know? SF: What do you know?

Ever wonder about #reproductiveinjustice in women’s inability to easily conceive past 40ish while men can father kids forever? Read my story abt the quest 2 eliminate #menopause, inspired by #NicoleShanahan & #SergeyBrin’s experience with #infertility @VictorDzau @Menopause_Cafe

"History teaches us, again and again, that change does not mean progress, that metamorphosis does not mean improvement. When society dissolves, we ... dissolve right along with it." - the brilliant & unfailingly evocative @shamblanderson in the @nytimes - nytimes.com/interactive/20…

"How do we even begin to process all of this - this cataclysm that is happening simultaneously in slow motion & all at once, on distant continents & inside our own cells? The metamorphoses are ... acts of internal self-destruction & rebuilding, subtle shifts & whole revolutions."

History will not be kind to those who block the right of any beings to freedom, love, health & harmony. Today we celebrate one victory in the midst of so much oppression. May we call in a future where such freedoms & respect - for ALL - are unquestioned & inviolable. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

Some bright rainbow news in the midst of a lot of s—t. “Until Monday’s decision, it was legal in more than half the states to fire workers for being gay, bisexual or transgender.” Title VII’s no sex discrimin upheld by Gorsuch’s textualist ruling. ♥️🌈♥️ nytimes.com/2020/06/15/us/…

In another one of my lifetimes, I was known as a "college sex columnist," despite not actually writing about sex, per se, but instead the mystifying vagaries of collegiate dating. Fascinating to watch the U Penn panel WIRED reporter @pardesoteric led, half a decade later.

"It costs so much to remain divided. This zero sum thinking - that what's good for one group has to come at the expense of another - it's what's gotten us into this mess. Our fates are linked. An injury to one is an injury to all."- @hmcghee Heather McGhee youtube.com/watch?v=eaCrsB…
