At Pacific Standard I reviewed Allison Pugh’s book on economic precarity and talked about how eroding worker/employer commitments damages personal relationships.
At the Atlantic I wrote about how clones on Orphan Black are really robots, and class war in R.U.R.

I started writing for Playboy.com with articles about:
—why Idris Elba as Bond is only a start if you want diversity in film.
—why getting rid of indie rock doens’t address racism.
—Orphan Black, feminism, queerness and biological determinism.
On Ravishly I have a list of rockabilly women.
On Splice Today I wrote about
