  1. I know petitions are lame, but I believe in this one: require free access to journal articles paid for by taxpayer $. 1.usa.gov/JlZF15
  2. "Teens Text More Than Adults, But They’re Still Just Teens" by @alicetiara & moi in The Daily Beast: bit.ly/Lajc6F

  4. I sat down with Katie Roiphe (who I've admired for years) and we talked about the need to give youth more freedoms: slate.me/MlyTtR
  5. Progress is not linear. 1st gay president was James Buchanan. Folks weren't so homophobic back then. bit.ly/KN7dfk
  6. @HULKGAMECRIT ::laugh:: OK... that was a pretty great video.
  7. Uggh. Someone created an impostor account for me on Facebook and real friends are friending it. Not good.
  8. @HULKGAMECRIT Oh dear. What are you calling for dubstep for!?!?!
  9. "Critical Questions for Big Data" = updated version of my paper w/ @KateCrawford published in Info, Comm, & Society: bit.ly/JI2zyh

  11. I had a chance to talk with the wonderful folks at CBC's The Sunday Edition (@cbcsunday). To listen: bit.ly/JsoR7w
  12. @KathyOrlinsky I am agnostic about breastfeeding. A 3-yo on the cover of Time is a different story. Can he comprehend cost of publicity?
  13. I worry when parents put their children in the spotlight. See this critique of controversial breastfeeding Time piece: fxn.ws/Kk1DCz
  14. @tezcatlipoca Yeah... That's the prob. I notice that my email becomes manageable. And then I'm like: Oh! It's a weekend! (Or a holiday!)
  15. It used to be that my INBOX was just as crazy on weekends as on weekdays. Not anymore. My network has really changed... Or gotten old.
  16. I really hope a grad student is interrogating the 'brogrammer' issue leveraging TL Taylor's 'geek masculinity' amzn.to/KRYsTU
  17. Sometimes, the internet just makes me smile. Google Translate used as beatboxing tool. Click on the sound icon: bit.ly/JnBmRf
  18. Fabulous infographic depicting LGBT rights in the US, state by state : bit.ly/KKZFWU
  19. Liz McDougall explaining why she went to work for Backpage in order to help combat human trafficking: bit.ly/IU5EeL
