Marginalized voices have always been at the forefront of the internet, yet our stories often go overlooked. Bridget Todd chronicles our experiences online, and the ways marginalized voices have shaped the internet from the very beginning. We need monuments to all of the identities that make being online what it is. So let’s build them.

There Are No Girls on the Internet

BONUS: Esports is for Everyone

Not long ago, Sam Altman was bragging about how OpenAI doesn't make sex bots. Then, just two months later, announced the company would be rolling out erotic content on ChatGPT.

So how's that pivot into adult content going? In the words of Dorinda Medley: "Not well, bitch."

Soon after the announcement, there was a high-profile exit from OpenAI — over concerns the company wasn't handling the adult content pivot responsibly. And now Sam Atlman says it’s been postponed.

So what does it all mean? Bridget sat down with friends Samantha and Anney over at SMNTY to break it all down.

Grammarly Stole Writers' Identities; Heated Rivalry Fanfic; Uber's Women-Only Rides; & Is Instagram Dying? – NEWS ROUNDUP

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/07b04510-a6fe-4020-ab36-b40c0168dbe0/transcript

It's Women's History Month — and this year, honoring women's contributions feels less like a celebration and more like an act of resistance. 

That's why celebrating women's achievements is more important than ever. So in this episode, I want to introduce you to someone who shaped the way we all experience technology, even if you've never heard her name: Susan Kare. She designed the visual language of the early Mac — the icons, the fonts, the look and feel that made personal computing something people actually wanted to touch. Her visuals were emulated across the industry, and their legacy is still hugely influential today. 

Back in 2021, I joined Sam and Anney at Stuff Mom Never Told You to dig into Susan Kare's legacy — where she came from, what she built, and why it still matters.
