So I sort of like almost see a little bit of myself and where she got her start. Like me, she was an early adopter of using the internet to talk about things like race and politics. Like me, that also seemed to sort of manifest in a lot of like low hanging fruit shit posts on the early days of blogging. Like in 2015, she was writing blogs making fun of Trump's penis size.

Yes, many such cases. So in 2015, Owens is running a blog called Degree 180, where she wrote pieces criticizing conservative Republicans, writing about the, quote, batshit crazy antics of the Republican Tea Party. The good news is they will eventually die off peacefully and in their sleep, we hope.

And then we can get right on with the obvious social change that needs to happen immediately, she wrote on her blog. So back then, she was really someone who had like a progressive point of view and was doing a lot of public writing about what she was seeing and experiencing in politics at the time.

So in her own words, she describes it as happening overnight.

Yeah. How it happened is, like, fascinating to me. So in 2016, when Gamergate was in full swing, Owens launched a Kickstarter for a project called Social Autopsy, which she described as a way to catalog the abuses of trolls and cyberbullies. Fun fact, that Kickstarter is still up today. It is such a weird time capsule of a different time.

There's like a video of her speaking earnestly about the need to like have the internet be a like safer, more equitable landscape. It is nuts. Like people should go listen to her speaking about this project. So the plan for this project was essentially that she would create a way to de-anonymize online commentators and then connect them with like their real names and their real life employers.
