But hey, I’m not the one who promised I would fix your grocery prices.
I’m just calling out Trump for lying to you.

@abduliorashid Hi Abdul this was a fun take on the hashtag! I also considered doing an example with music since X is a great platform for ppl to connect easily one space.

-“publics that are restructured by networked technologies” (Papacharissi, 2011). They are an imagined collective created by the people using the technology. Here, the hashtag for breast cancer is where people share the same drive, same identity in the fight. They can relate to-
Although the post is out there for everyone to engage with, these instrumental songs are often created for those who want non-distracting background noise while they work on something else. It is so fun that AI can create new tunes to study to! #RUVirtualFA24#RutgersDCIM
In searching the hashtag #AImusic we can find songs and melodies generated by AI. This account posts different kinds of songs for different contexts & here, imagined audience is at play. “Deep Focus” music could be aimed at students, or those working on something difficult.
@gabby__meyer Hi Gabby! Nice connection. The video is really interesting and it was fun to watch the women almost poke fun at people yet inform them regarding all of these beliefs and stereotypes that go around.

@bestewart158 Hi Brooke! I’m also interested in social media. The digital age is really interesting to study. I am taking a media psych class right now and some of the studies explaining how social media affects our brain/behavior is crazy!
Hi my name is Gracie! I am taking Self & Society in Virtual Contexts this fall semester. I am a senior majoring in Psych, minoring in DCIM. With the devastating hurricanes + storms going on, I am interested in #Evacuate to hear stories and learn more. #RuVirtual24#RutgersDCIM
@lowrey_LDIC90 Hi Allie, I am not familiar with these athletes but it seems they are using their passion and platform for good! It’s nice seeing celebs/leaders focus on improving the lives of others.
