She/her. I tweet so you don't have to. I study scams and misinformation.

Update: I’m still almost never on Twitter. It has somehow become a worse website. Thank you for understanding.

I’m mostly no longer here (will be once again deleting this app in 10 minutes) but I do think it’s interesting that I now get flooded with notifications that have nothing to do with me in order to try to lure me back.

This is disastrous and will lead to an enormously increased spread of fascism. Hinkle is part of the most significant red-brown pipeline in the English speaking world. I have seen several of these Strasserites being retweeted uncritically because most people don't know.

A senior researcher at the @ADL named Stephen C. Rea resigned from the organization today.

I’m reading “Culture of Conspiracy’s” chapters on 9/11 and I’m struck how the conspiracies of the time echo ones I’m seeing circulated right now. It’s not surprising given how conspiracy works, but the same narratives are really being recycled.

@oneunderscore__ I keep seeing the Spectator Index everywhere and I’m like “folks that website is run by just one guy in Australia”
