Hello everyone!!
My name is Lydia and I’m currently working half-time at CHT to help with content, comms, and operations. (With the other half of my time, I oversee the magazine for The Battery, which is an arts/culture/philanthropy club in San Francisco.)
Once upon a time, I was a weird internet kid playing MUDs in the 1990s. From there, I worked in game design (most prominently White Wolf Game Studio) before moving into writing/activism about sex and gender issues. During the time that I was doing activism, I served in the Peace Corps and established a blog that eventually became semi-famous (pseudonym Clarisse Thorn). So, for a while I was supporting myself doing writing/speaking about sexuality and gender issues – basically, my blog became an internet business, except I never wanted to do advertising or sponsorships so it was hard to support myself :).
Around 2012-2013, I moved to San Francisco and transitioned into working in technology, focused on media (both social media and journalism). I worked with a lot of different startups and some larger companies – both doing content/comms, and learning to do product/user research.
I was very fortunate to meet Tristan in 2013 and have been tracking his work ever since, and I was very happy to start working with CHT in early April. I strongly believe that this is an organization that should exist and I’m excited to see how it develops. Right now, the main project I oversee is the Ledger of Harms (this is a project to track and examine the negative externalities of technology) and we are hiring a Research Assistant – I’m about to post about that in Announcements! 
We’d love to get referrals from you all! I’m new to the forums but excited to see how many people are here!!
