Column: Not enough, Lenoir
"Finding worms and undercooked meat being served at a dining hall accessible to UNC’s almost 20,000-person undergraduate population is disturbing, and not something one can just forget the next time they’re biting into Lenoir’s flavorless pineapple."
Column: Learning to open my eyes
"I don’t really know how to make sense of a world where people do unimaginable things. I don’t know where such violence and hatred comes from. I don’t know what the right way to respond to something like this is, or if there even is one."

Column: Google thinks I'm a bad writer (and other thoughts on data collection)
Technology is so deeply intertwined with our lives that our data is at greater risk than anyone else’s.
