Hello 👋🏼 I’m Jesse Lawson, and welcome to LAWSONRY.
You might know me as Dinner Pancakes on TikTok, where I publish many kinds of things, including educational content and commentary related to disinformation, social technology, and technologically-mediated human connection.
LAWSONRY is about similar things that are important to me, like:
- Social information platforms and the realities we construct with them
- Misinformation & disinformation online
- Politics & public policy
- Ethical product leadership for technologically-mediated reality construction
- The Means of Connectedness
- Technologically-mediated third spaces
To me, LAWSONRY is a venue for lenses through which to understand our collective experiences as the ever-nascent actors of the American zeitgeist.
WHAT READERS HAVE SHARED:
- By the way, you've actually rewired my mind.

LAWSONRY'S WRITERS:
Jesse Lawson (Editor)
Oh hi, it's me again. The person from this website. I'm a lot of things to a lot of people, but to me I'm just myself. Anyway, here's some more about me:
My academic background is a mix of sociology, English, higher education, and counseling psychology—all of which are rooted in psychoanalytic and critical feminist perspectives.
Professionally, I work & tinker at the intersection of software engineering and developer education. I have written and edited technical books about Rust and Nginx, and have a portfolio of technical writing as well as open source projects at nullnotes.com. If you are looking for a full-stack servant-style leader to champion developer ecosystem unification (CLIs, SDKs, docs, community), please reach out on LinkedIn or BlueSky.
In addition to running LAWSONRY, I have a weekly column called Jesse's Weekender, which is more of a free-flowing unpacking (unraveling?) of what's been on my mind as the weeks go by.
