Highly specific problem with writing a lot about decolonization in an app with AI-driven autocomplete is that you will constantly find that "they said" is instantly corrected to "Said."

Tonight, in Seattle, the book tour continues ... I'll be at Town Hall Seattle with the luminous and brilliant Lindy West, talking about how to recognize psyops and maybe even defuse them -- using stories! Tickets available here: https://townhallseattle.org/event/annalee-newitz-with-lindy-west/

#seattle #books #psyops

I am standing with a copy of my book in front of pale silk curtains with gold embroidered paisley patterns. I feel like I'm in an episode of Bridgerton, except I have very short hair and I'm wearing a plain white t-shirt.

A really thoughtful review of "Stories Are Weapons" today in the New York Times. It's so gratifying to see reviews and talk to people about this book that has been living in my head for so long ... https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/05/books/review/stories-are-weapons-annalee-newitz.html

"Crash the cis-tem." Holy moly I love this so much ... all hail the gorgeous intensity of Gottmik's top surgery drag, where she used the runway to tell a story about her body and his journey. https://www.them.us/story/gottmik-drag-race-all-stars-top-surgery-runway

I'm writing an article that deals in part with the career of MIT civil engineering prof John B. "Bud" Wilbur, class of '26. Did you or any of your mentors/elders know him? Please get in touch! #mit #engineering

@annaleen congratulations for the Stories are Weapons. Looking fwd to it! Just read your dialogue with @charliejane on buttondown.
Wanted to plug a book from a friend that somehow ties in with your research - altough it's mainly about cinema & the birth of gender politics in the context of the Cold War.
