They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever "speak for themselves."

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity.

A new podcast hosted by Jillian Mercado and Lauren "Lolo" Spencer. With careers constantly pushing for representation that actually feels real—and asking why the stories we see are still so behind the times, Jill and Lolo explore who gets seen, heard, and centered in modern media.

It argues that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather, it's primarily about controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the "bad" women.
