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, harmreduction in all ways possible."

Aliza Worthington's current writing home is Baltimore Fishbowl, winnerof 21 MDDC Press Association Awards, including Best in Show for itscategory. She also still calls Crooks and Liars dot com her home andjournalistic family; she was a writer and editor there for the last 5years and fills in when she can.

Aliza co-hosts the Momocrats weekly podcast with powerhouses KaroliKuns and Donna Schwartz Mills. One day, if the Flying SpaghettiMonster smiles upon her, she shall get back to her sad, neglectedblog, The Worthington Post.

Her writing has been sourced by Lawrence O'Donnell, applauded by theCreative Director of the Oscars, and blocked by mansplainers and whitesaviors who chafe at being challenged on their privilege. Shemoderates complex discussions on white privilege, sexism,anti-Semitism, abortion rights, and politics with strength andfinesse. 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.
