@julia_savv Definitely something I can relate to🥲looking forward to reading!!

Despite this, I do feel like the benefits online participation affords me are valuable enough to deal with the onslaught: contact with relatives, community building, information dissemination, etc. #315WeekTwelve

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

I really related to @zephoria's disidentification with coping with the massive "onslaught of contact" being online demands of us...I find myself falling into passivity to cope; neglecting notifications as they pile up. #315WeekTwelve #ccom315

I found the #315WikiChallenge to be way more fun than I originally thought! It was surprisingly easy to get the hang of the editor format, and the instruction tutorials made for straightforward use

and not a source of truth, but surprisingly, I have never really stopped consulting this site... #315WeekEleven

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

By its nature, for @Wikipedia to function at all depends on editors/users to edit, but its also just as important to correct and update edits to maintain legitimacy and relevance #315WeekEleven

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

whEW i think that caps my night of spamming the timeline. so sorry for the notifs #315fam #itwasabonesdaytome #315gifs

@ErikaMac0620 I got a score of 209, but im pretty sure its because most if not all of the publications were American (like me lol), & known to be more reputable or not (like infowars, Alex Jones's far right conspiracy site) #ccom315 #315fakenews

Anyone can become an author nowadays — we do not have to rely on research or journalists, we just need access to the internet or a cellular device. (3/3)

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

thinking of Boyd’s affordances of online networks, major reasons for the prevalence of fake news are its scalability and replicatability…these definitely (as a few of the readings mentioned) is more prominent during times of societal discontent, such as election times

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

I always imagine the term ‘fake news’ in regard to D*nald Tr*mp…even trying to engage with it legitimately is difficult because of the arbitrariness it represented during his presidency #ccom315 #315fakenews #315WeekNine

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

@MalYeates7 totally agree! i feel like fast fashion, influencer marketing, and late stage capitalism all compound into a vicious cycle of harm for the environment, workers & citizens of places where products are manufactured, and consumers/impressionable youth targeted by fast fashion online

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

(3/3) This reminds me of last weeks Wired article, talking about digital blackface and the origins of popular internet trends. #ccom315 #315WeekEight

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

(1/3) thinking about how almost eveything about our culture can tie back to Black peoples’ contributions to society...

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

(2/3) the @nytimes article mentions Black people’s influence in terms of shaping “meme culture, fashion trends, slang, and humor,” as well as “cultural critisism and political demands”.

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

still stumped about my open letter...loved the examples tho, very meta #ccom315 #315WeekEight #315pitches

[Elinor Montgomery @elinorfromclass]

considering doing my digital culture backgrounder on Noodle the pug...anybody familiar? #315pitches #315WeekSeven

On the topic of digital blackface, I follow this Youtuber who made a great video essay on the topic if you are interested #315weekseven #ccom315 https://t.co/FDPYRsSxm6
