Hi, thanks for clicking on my name. I’m a writer and editor in New York City. Most recently, I was the Editor-in-Chief of Jezebel, where I led the site for 2½ years after joining as a Senior Editor in May 2022—the same day the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision leaked, which was a wild first day.
I’ve covered everything from the Women’s World Cup to the GOP’s never-ending battle to ban the abortion pill to why women aren’t cutting off men’s heads in art anymore. I’ve also spent plenty of time taking aim at powerful men behaving badly—and the anti-feminists who insist women should shrink themselves to accommodate them
Before Jez, I spent a decade of my life performing improv, if you can even believe. I’ve trained in improvisation and sketch writing at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and satire writing at The Second City, and I used to regularly perform throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. I was briefly a member of the UCB house team, Dang Jojo, before the world shut down in 2020. But we had one live show, and it was a blast.
My work has been featured in New York Magazine, McSweeney’s, The Belladonna, Decider, and the New York Post, among others. In 2019, my piece, “The Battle At John F. Kennedy International Airport, 1776,” was the seventh most-read article on McSweeney’s.
My last name is pronounced TWO-sig-Not. Onesignant was taken.
