I've been a writer and editor since the mid-2000s. Though I began my career focusing on the social and philosophical dimensions of tech, I also write about many other things: food and drink, identity, race, and more. A (short) lifetime ago, I completed a Ph.D. in English Literature; literature still matters to me.\n\nI've written for a wide variety of publications, including the _Globe and Mail_, _The Atlantic_, _The Walrus_, _Bon Appetit_, _Eater_, _Columbia Journalism Review_, _New York Magazine_, and many more. \n\nCurrently I am an editor on the Opinion team at the _Toronto Star_, where I edit and solicit pieces for the Opinion section. I love my job. Please pitch me, _especially_ if you can write the hell out of an opinion piece or an essay. \n","pronouns":"","is_following":false,"is_you":false,"following_count":9,"discover_count":0},"author":{"name":"Navneet Alang","url":"http://navneetalang.com","avatar":"https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/ed4367c49aaa08085b1f3d628417c816?s=96&d=https%3A%2F%2Fmicro.blog%2Fimages%2Fblank_avatar.png"},"items":[{"id":"92012724","content_html":"<p><a href=\"http://navneetalang.com\">@navneetalang.com</a> uh, *have</p>\n","url":"https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:a7nj5cukjggnn5gvxj5d33lj/post/3mnxh7v5zk22r","date_published":"2026-06-10T19:31:52+00:00","author":{"name":"Navneet Alang","url":"http://navneetalang.com","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fed4367c49aaa08085b1f3d628417c816%3Fs%3D96%26d%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fmicro.blog%252Fimages%252Fblank_avatar.png","_microblog":{"username":"navalang"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-06-10 19:31","date_timestamp":1781119912,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":true}},{"id":"92012725","content_html":"<p><a href=\"http://navneetalang.com\">@navneetalang.com</a> Here is a gift link for the piece.
