Join me as I interview the brutally honest, funny, and talented Aliza Worthington. Her first name is pronounced Uh-lee-zuh, which rhymes with the leaning tower of Pisa. Don't you forget it, either...like I did. We discuss mansplainers, old school blogging, BlogHer, New York and more!

"Accountability journalism, advocacy for marginalized folks, harm

reduction in all ways possible."

Aliza Worthington's current writing home is Baltimore Fishbowl, winner

of 21 MDDC Press Association Awards, including Best in Show for its

category. She also still calls Crooks and Liars dot com her home and

journalistic family; she was a writer and editor there for the last 5

years and fills in when she can.

Aliza co-hosts the Momocrats weekly podcast with powerhouses Karoli

Kuns and Donna Schwartz Mills. One day, if the Flying Spaghetti

Monster smiles upon her, she shall get back to her sad, neglected

blog, The Worthington Post.

Her writing has been sourced by Lawrence O'Donnell, applauded by the

Creative Director of the Oscars, and blocked by mansplainers and white

saviors who chafe at being challenged on their privilege. She

moderates complex discussions on white privilege, sexism,

anti-Semitism, abortion rights, and politics with strength and

finesse. As a volunteer clinic escort, Aliza absorbs protesters'

harassment while protecting patients' personal space and dignity.

All-around BAMF.

And she always roots for the Mets and the Orioles. Non-negotiable.
