Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment technologies are targeting young women and reconfiguring the spaces, practices & relations of digital money and finance. Very happy to have been interviewed for this story based on my research on BNPL and the geographies of consumer fintech w/ @dcockayne.bsky.social

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · Aug 16

“Buy now, pay later” services have become “the gateway drug to consumer debt for more and more women,” Annie Joy Williams argues—and these payment programs are thriving in our influencer-driven world:

The Rise of ‘Cute Debt’

Female shoppers are being pushed toward buy-now-pay-later services.

The death toll of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza is now estimated at 100,000

The list is 1,227 pages long.

The first 11 pages are names of babies dead before the age of 6 months.

The first 381 pages are all children.

archive.is/2025.06.28-0...

On Monday of this week, Hamas' Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip published an updated list of those killed in the war, a 1,227-page chart, arranged from youngest to oldest. The Arabic-language document includes the deceased person's full name, the names of the father and grandfather, date of birth and ID number.
Unlike previous lists, this compilation notes the precise age of children who were under the age of one year when they were killed. Mahmoud al-Maranakh and seven more children died on the same day they were born. Four more children were killed on the day after they entered the world, five others lived to the age of two days. Not until page 11, following 486 names, does the name appear of the first child who was more than six months old when he was killed.
