Never have I recited the alphabet more in my head than putting together my reference list. Q belongs closer to U in the alphabet imo.

Spending my last day in Jamaica writing a conference submission I should have done before I left 🙃😎

@canva Your website is down - a lot of users are experiencing problems logging in. Do you know when this will be resolved??

Overall, rule of thumb is to be pessimistic about everything :) #BellLetsTalk

[Jenn Mentanko @jementanko]

While the #BellLetsTalk campaign may not be completely unproductive and self-serving, I am sure you can find similar instances of conflicting ethos.

[Jenn Mentanko @jementanko]

For those wary of #BellLetsTalk (as you should be), I was in a masters panel with Jasmine Vido who offered a critical investigation of the campaign. Take a look! https://t.co/NDfpEZiabp

So, my friend is looking into buying a sizeable family home in Grande Prairie for $280,000. I was curious and looked at similar listing in Vancouver for under $300,000. Here they are!

@bubblbu_ Okay, "open washing" helped me find what I needed! You the bomb.

[Jenn Mentanko @jementanko]

As I'm writing my thesis, I'm wondering if there is a lane of marketing similar to "green washing," but rather pseudo data activism. For instance, by downloading particular software YOU, the user is participating in digital democracy. #DigitalMarketing #softwaremarketing

[Jenn Mentanko @jementanko]

@frizzbarks Exactly ;) Brave is what I had in mind.

[Jenn Mentanko @jementanko]

@bubblbu_ Yes, that is exactly what I'm thinking about. Open source software along with products that frame the user as aiding in the tech revolution or reimagining the digital space.
