Felt alive.
The ties and tugs get ever stronger with each visit.
My tuning fork is decidedly pointed north.
Women's magazines such as Redbook and Glamour are not ghettoized or marginalized. They get tons of money to endorse their product and image. And perhaps they are pushed into the realm of women-only consumption, but quite frankly, I am not working to push that type of feminine aesthetic. One of the main reasons they get the money they do, and explicitly feminist publications don't is because, the latter feed into patriarchal ideas of how women should look, act, think and feel.

I haven't seen many notes online yet about the panel but I think it went well. I met my goals of talking about socials tools that I like (vox, twitter) and why I like them (gating, persistent ID, groups, access levels, moderation). I didn't spill any work secrets but still got to talk about how community apps get thought about or not thought about when they are being developed, the role of setting rules, the difference between how news editors might deal with content and moderation vs. what a blog editor might or might not care about.
Samhita, Lynne and Laina were, of course, amazing and I think we accomplished what we wanted. I got nods of appreciation from Lisa Stone and that's enough for me.
If you were there, I'd love feedback. Via vox, IM, email or twitter.
unrelated: Twitter is THE thing to talk about this year.
