hot off the (virtual) press in @transstudies.bsky.social: a collaboration with @pranavgoel.bsky.social, @crazybrokeasian.bsky.social, and @diesagar.bsky.social on information flows in US local & national news about transgender people (spoiler alert: it’s complicated) doi.org/10.57814/557...

Sharing our new paper (w. Pratiti Tagore & @foucaultwelles.bsky.social) on #CSCW2025. We developed a framework categorizing online self-disclosure of experiences of racism based on psychological distances. Our empiricals suggest an overlooked population of bystanders. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Kentucky opened its 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping this week – and again, residents are seeing big premium spikes because of expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 is facing a $23,700 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Sharing my newest publication on New Media & Society titled r/23andMe and my pictures: Platform racial spectacles as collective racial identity formation, in which I proposed a concept to theorize the image-sharing behaviors of DNA test results on social media in relation to race.

Go Shane!!!

More from inside NIH: Per a source with knowledge, for all internal research (of which there is like $10 billion worth or so), ALL purchasing shut down as of yesterday. That means gloves, reagents, anything involved with lab work, which means a lot of that work will stop.

I will be presenting our paper (collab. with my great advisor @foucaultwelles.bsky.social) on how Asian online communities invented new words for satirical identity work tomorrow (very early 🥲) morning at #NCA2024. Feel free to drop in if you are interested in learning a few funny neologisms.
