As the True/False Film Festival begins in about a month, I am looking back on the work I did last year covering it for The Maneater. Mine was some of the first coverage of these films available on the internet, and I created some work I'm really proud of.

True False’s showing of “Writing Hawa” explores how women reflect a larger Afghani reality.
The film navigates a woman’s quest to learn and the harsh realization of powerlessness in the face of the Taliban.

I just finished reading Katabasis by @rfkuang.bsky.social and am really amazed her linguistic prowess. This book really digs into the problems within academia and the relationship between advisors and their advisees. Definitely recommending this to everyone!

Very proud to have edited this piece for The Maneater, some of the fasted coverage we have put out thanks to the writer. It is so important to advocate for what you believe in, even if that just means raising awareness. themaneater.com/133532/top-n...
