Rabbit Holes

Real Life — a magazine about living with technology, with an emphasis on living. Though it’s now archived, it is still an incredibly rich source of esssays that connect technology to identity. I think archived sites are amazing places to see what opinions on certain topics used to be and how they’ve since changed.

Lux Magazine — a socialist feminist magazine that explores the intersection of identity and politics, from abortion networks to 911 alternatives. It’s an amazing (and visually beautiful) place to find cultural critiques tied in material conditions.

The Drift — a contemporary, youth-driven site for essays, fiction, poetry, interviews, etc. that are serious without being overly academic. I would say their tone is set somewhere between Substack and literary journals, so it can be a useful reference for what ambitious internet writing can look like .

The Baffler — sharp and politically grounded essays that explore left-wing ideas, cultural analysis, short stories, poems, and art. I like to use these as reference on how to effectively balance cultural analysis with systemic critique.
