Honored to see my article, 'Wikipedia Has a Language Problem. Here’s How To Fix It,' cited in Digital Culture Shock by @katharinareinecke.bsky.social ecke.bsky.social

The book explores how culture shapes technology and why one-size-fits-all approaches don’t work.

I'm on Amazon! My book will be out in June and until then...I swear I'm going to go crazy if anyone changes the name of social networking sites, or invents a new one, one more time.
