About me

I’m a writer and cultural critic known for my unflinching voice. My career began at The Hairpin, carried me to Jezebel as deputy editor, and in 2016 brought me to The New Yorker as a staff writer. Essays I’ve published in outlets like The New York Times Magazine and Pitchfork explore internet culture, feminism, and contemporary identity. My essay collection Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion became a bestseller and was named one of the best books of 2019 by multiple outlets.
