Well! Been a busy few weeks but seems like a good time to formally announce the sale of @TheLi_st! (Formal as in Insta -official, obvs.) It’s been a wild ride over these ten years (first #changetheratio email April 2010, and lo, on it went), in turn hilarious and hilarious in retrospect, but we are both extremely proud of what we built together – based, as Glyn wrote, “…on our own friendship and habit of collecting awesome people at various events (when there were still events) who also were operating without any formal support system or expense account. We would end up bringing these folks along with us wherever we went – be at hotel rooms, parties, conferences, or many late-night fries – in an attempt to share whatever access we had.” Or, as I like to say, a rising tide lifts all boats, and that has been the ethos of The List, and of mine and Glyn’s friendship ever since we met in a Mediabistro writing class and went on to find ourselves at the intersection of media, politics, tech, and amazing women. Because everywhere we went we kept meeting amazing women who were also wildly under appreciated, and under-compensated. We hope we have been part of changing that! And now we are delighted to hand the reins over to @annshoket to take TheLi.st onward and upward, and can’t wait to see what’s next. (For us, we will remain as advisors supporting Ann & TheLi.st as it grows, Glyn will continue to write trenchantly about New York, and I am looking forward to writing more (musical theatre & paying work) and doing some consulting (plug!)(no seriously, plug). Thank you to Glyn and to our amazing friends and advisors over this time (you know who you are) and to Ann for seeing what TheLi.st can be. Exeunt!
