On today's episode, I speak with Ailsa Blair about the drag community. Ailsa is a neurodiverse, nonbinary product designer and research leader who founded Drag Me, a company whose mobile app empowers drag artists to connect with their fans. Ailsa and I talk about topics as far afield as Tech Bros treating employees as tools, features of the Drag Me app, and invoking Rule 34 and Godwin's Law at the same time.
