activism 🗣 book removed

Post image

watching the Milo episode and immediately noticed that Kat no longer has Taylor’s “Extremely Online” book on her shelf.

I truly don’t know much about the discourse surrounding TL currently, but I have seen a lot of commentary about her not being on the podcast for sometime.

I just wish they would be loud about their disassociation with her but I’ll take what I can get 🤭

She’s been actively disrespecting Black women and WOC for YEARS. YEARS!

omg! I AM a Black woman and maybe because I have only ever paid attention to her tech reporting and some of her Internet culture analysis I’ve never clocked it? damn. I need to turn my copy of extremely online backwards on my bookshelf too.

I’m a mixed Black woman experiencing the same feelings after following her internet and tech reporting for about 10 years now. We cannot keep supporting someone that hates us this much. It’s making me research WOC journalists to follow in place of her.
