Early life and education

Wikipedia

While a sophomore at the University of Michigan during COVID-19 lockdowns, Rauwerda created Depths of Wikipedia, a group of social media accounts which highlight facts from Wikipedia she considers "weird and wonderful".^[6]^[7] The first account was launched on Instagram in April 2020, and the group of accounts has since expanded to TikTok and Twitter.^[8]^[9] The accounts combined have millions of followers.^[10] Rauwerda gained interest in Wikipedia while wikiracing in middle and high school.^[8]^[9]^[11]

In addition to the Depths of Wikipedia social media accounts, Rauwerda hosts Wikipedia-focused variety and comedy shows, going on tour in 2022 and 2023.^[6]^[12] Rauwerda's first in-person comedy set was in July 2021, expanding to a series of cross-country comedy tours.^[13] Her show involves a slides presentation of Wikipedia screenshots, similar to Depths of Wikipedia's online content, and comedy commentary.^[10]^[13]^[14]^[15]

In August 2022, Rauwerda was named the 2022 Media Contributor of the Year by the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia.^[16] In October 2022, she wrote for Slate about Wikipedia's article on suspicious deaths of Russian businesspeople, highlighting the encyclopedia's usefulness as a source of information in areas facing censorship.^[10]^[17] As of 2023^[update], Rauwerda is working on a book about Wikipedia's cultural history.^[6]^[18]

Perpetual stew

On June 7, 2023, Rauwerda began preparing a vegan potato leek stew in a slow cooker in her apartment, which she preserved after each meal and replenished with more broth and ingredients.^[19]^[20]^[21] Rauwerda eventually expanded the "stew nights" to the public, hosting outdoor gatherings in Bushwick, Brooklyn where people contributed to and consumed the stew.^[22]^[23]^[24] Participants were encouraged to bring vegan ingredients, with about 300 people contributing to the stew.^[25]^[19]^[26]

The stew attracted considerable attention on social media, described by The New York Times as an "internet sensation", going viral on social media.^[23]^[26]^[22] Business Insider described the stew as "all the rage among Gen Zs."^[27] Rauwerda documented the progress of the stew on TikTok, where some posts were viewed by millions of people.^[26]^[22]^[19]^[22]^[28]
