In honor of New York's mayoral election today, I'm resharing my piece on the candidate for @mashable: a look into how @ZohranKMamdani ran a winning digital campaign, harnessing social media acumen to tangible organization and influence. https://t.co/ihdmE5gFn3

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, the leading favorite in a race against Andrew Cuomo, has created a social media campaign that people won't forget.

Devastating. Teen Vogue was fearless in its coverage of national and international politics — they were one of the first publications to give many of us young Palestinian women a space to speak without censorship. They embodied the ethics we should all strive for as journalists.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers on other sections, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Read @AidaAlami on the last Columbia protester in ICE detention. A judge recommended her release in June: “No convincing evidence linking her to terrorist activity had been brought up. In response, the government contended that she posed a flight risk” https://t.co/Oz3xExuF9p

I am a digital culture reporter who has written for dozens of outlets over the past decade and have only wanted the beat to have the respect it deserves. This week proves why its important for those with internet literacy to be in newsrooms.
“Just like a news orgs would not send a general reporter into a war zone, outlets should also not send untrained journalists into the chaotic online world and expect them to be able to have a complete understanding of what is transpiring” @oliverdarcy

For @CosmopolitanUK, I wrote about the West's rebranding of traditional South Asian garments, and how this "trend" has fuelled widespread discourse on appropriation, erasure, and the fact that brands are still failing to give credit where credit is due. https://t.co/WhsbPtx5ys

The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding. https://t.co/X8dIwlNXqp
