What I Just Finished Reading
Behind the Screen, by Sarah T. Roberts
A look at commercial content moderators, who do things like screen social media videos/images/posts for illegal/obscene/against-terms-of-service content. It had too many blocks cut straight from interview and not enough analysis. And despite the jacket calling it an ethnographic study... it didn't feel much like one, although the author is not an anthropologist by trade.
What I'm Reading Now
Comics
Thor #4, X-Men #8, New Mutants #9, Hawkeye: Freefall #4, Avengers #32, Ant-Man #3, Immortal Hulk #32
If it isn't here, I don't remember reading it. Good on Ewing for naming his sensitivity reader on Hulk! And more Idie in X-books please.
What I'm Reading Next
Next book for internet studies class is The Digital Street, by Jeffrey Lane. Also I forgot to read a paper tonight for class I'm not going to tomorrow, which, like, whatever.
