memes are a part of pop culture that presents a vision of writing the internet, it completely changed the way people communicated and created a whole new genra of subculture #315slides

I think online participation nowadays is a necessity; everything happens on the internet, it's almost impossible to live without. so it's not really about weighting the benefits against the pressure but more about how to adapt to this new lifestyle despite the pressure #315slides

[Jade @_jadinette]

I wouldn't say that I have really effective strategies to navigate the "always-on" lifestyle, I'm trying to put on some rules to disconnect and have some private time but as it's really new and we didn't have a guide I find it quite hard to manage #315slides

I think as a lot of people Wikipedia was kind of my go-to for a while, especially during middle school because it is so easy to access and contain so much informations #315slides

BREAKING: in response to the petition that signed over 4.900 people and concerned for the mental health of their students, McGill decided to extend its winter break for 5 more hours #ccom315 #315satire

so there's this new dimension of engagement where you're acting like you're engaged for your image which can be really frustrating for people that are actually fighting for the cause because it makes a lot of useless mobilization where people could actually make a change.

[Jade @_jadinette]

I think online activism has both really good and some more discutable effects. As said in the slides, it allows small group of people with not a lot of resources to organize big movements. #315slides

[Jade @_jadinette]

however it also comes with more discutable outcomes, people, as they create their online identities do sometimes performative activism, when they're doing acts that doesn't really serve the cause just to appear more engaged.

I was surprised that I did so bad on the fake or for real test!! it makes me wonder how many fake information I might have being exposed to #315fakenews

[Jade @_jadinette]

I think that even tho we might be aware of bias in what we read we sometime choose to ignore it because it is exhausting to constantly check different sources that might be biased themselves. we in a way accepted to live in a fake reality #315fakenews

[Jade @_jadinette]

so representing only a part of the population is erasing the other part and making it hard for it to project or feel like it's part of this cultural subconscious. #representationmatters #ccom315

[Jade @_jadinette]

internet creates an alternative universe, a projection of the world we live in. our collective subconscious created this world with some unavoidable monuments like memes or cinematographic clichés where we can build and transmit our beliefs.
