I pissed a lot of people off today.

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.

Harris had a plan to go after corporations that price gouge the consumer.

Trump has nothing.

And you fell for it.🫵

@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.

@gabby__meyer Hi Gabby, this is a great way to explain virtual communities on X! Hashtags can become a safe space where people can relate to each other, and learn more/become educated.

-others, learn more, share important information, and educate themselves in this community or networked public. People are gathering for social, culture, and civic purposes as the book mentions. #RuVirtualFA24 #RutgersDCIM

#BreastCancerAwarenessMonth is October, and is a popular advocacy/community hashtag on X during this month. Users under the hashtag share their support for the fight against breast cancer. X/hashtags both serve as a networked public, defined in “A Networked Self” reading as-

-“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.

[Gracie Simmons @graciesimm26]

@yannivines2 Hi Ti-Anna, great find! The connection to empowerment that we’ve been reading about recently in all of our online activism readings is prominent. The BLM hashtag goes great with the ad and overall is a powerful message with the Mayors.

- as new light shines on the issues. These concepts were introduced within M4 and M5 as we learned about internet activism, where social media can be a place of important conversation. We talked about how marginalized groups can create a space online. #RUvirtualFA24 #RutgersDCIM

Using #myNYPD this every day user is able to join the discussion on an important issue & amplify their voice. The person in the video is elderly & asian, representing marginalized communities. This # in some cases, represents spaces for these communities to be heard and helped -

#myNYPD! Five cops versus one defenseless older man.

@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!

[Gracie Simmons @graciesimm26]

@abduliorashid Hey Abdul, this is a really unique hashtag and it is a super important topic to understand! The hashtag can alert and inform others.

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.

[Gracie Simmons @graciesimm26]

@IKsiazek79601 Hi Izabella, I like your definition of celebrity and how you didn’t just focus on being famous as the main aspect. While many people think celebs are all about fame and money, many celebrities worked hard for their status. Emma Watson is a great example.
