@nycforabortion hi there! As a university student who is completing a project about abortion rights in the US, I am wondering, what is your organization doing to fight this issue and support those who are affected?
Juneteenth is a time to commemorate the anniversary of the delayed news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. Today, we remember that struggle for freedom as we reflect on how far we’ve come as a country—and on the work that remains undone.
I think it’s super important that we as a community continue to be educated about things that could be harmful to certain groups and change the way we act. Lizzo handled this situation well by responding to public feedback and changing her lyrics! #EM203Robin#EM203Research
After the internet called out Lizzo's use of an ableist slur in her song 'GRRRLS,' the singer announced a new version of the song with changed lyrics: 'I never want to promote derogatory language.' https://t.co/3UvMYTLJpe
@EM203LNagle I am also loving the blend of social media and the curriculum. These past few weeks have been very engaging and I'm looking forward to the rest of the semester as well.
@EM203DPearo I also attempted a sudoku puzzle for the learning challenge. Won’t lie, I definitely needed some hints from the computer to complete it. It was a fun puzzle though, I can see why the game has spanned over generations!
@em203_megan I completely agree, Megan. I find the assignments in this course super engaging, and I’ve loved reading through everyone’s posts and being able to connect!
@EM203kaylapyke I’m also looking forward to the rest of this semester! This week was interesting, we learned about the 3 A’s: anywhere, anytime, all the time learning, as we are constantly absorbing new information in this age
@EM203leilataibi I think it’s so important to learn about how others connect and learn through technology. I’m hoping to learn more about the impacts of education in the digital age!
Excited for my first tweet of the course! The first three classes of EM203 have been very interesting, and love the blend of social media into the curriculum ☺️ Looking forward to the rest of the semester #EM203Robin
