The hashtag #QueerJoy represents a marginalized community that celebrates the various successes of queer individuals. It exemplifies a counterpublic by providing a platform to challenge societal norms and empower those often marginalized #RUVirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

The hashtag #BlackJoyMatters celebrates and highlights resilience, creativity, and happiness within the Black community. It connects to our reading on networked publics, where marginalized groups forge supportive virtual communities #RUVirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

It's fascinating to see how digital platforms have become "middle-men" in pursuit of love and connection. #DigitalRomance encapsulates how these digital transformations influence our views on relationships, monogamy, and romantic ideals.

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

Excited to explore the concept of #DigitalRomance in our class discussion this week! In the article 'Liquid Love?' by Hobbs, Owen, and Gerber, they delve into how dating apps and technology have transformed modern courtship and intimacy. #RUVirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

Similar to authors Banet-Weiser and Miltner @/delinthecitdiscusses showcases the power of hashtags to highlight important topics and spark conversations about systemic issues such as abuse of power, sexual assault, and the need for accountability. #RUVirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

⚠️➡️ There are so many evil politicians, Democrats and Republicans, world leaders, royals, media, and entertainment industry deviants on Jeffrey Epstein's list. Some of those same evil people were on the #MeToo list. Pay attention to who is quiet about child trafficking, Epstein Island, and his list because they are most likely in on it.

Looking forward to Self & Society in Virtual Contexts with @WintersDCIM! Intrigued and excited to learn about the inner workings of privacy, ethics, and human rights in a digital context 🤔#EthicalDilemmas #RUVirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

@DuZhaowei1 Self-actualization is extremely important and a great thing to strive for. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs places it at the very top of the pyramid. It seems to me that your other three values also show your commitment to improving yourself and the lives of those around you.

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

@wayneatrutgers I think your desire to enhance emotional intelligence is admirable. Many overlook the importance of EQ, leading to challenges in social interactions. Your dedication can create a positive impact, making the world a better place.

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

@sianijohnscn Hi Siani, it's great that you have something you're so passionate about. Many lack the motivation to pursue creativity in the entertainment industry, but your dedication is inspiring. Your musical career has the potential to inspire a lot of people!

@destinychann In today's society, where kids often have unsupervised internet access, having someone they can look up to and emulate becomes even more crucial. (2/2)

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

@destinychann I really appreciate your point about the importance of a digital leader being a role model. Although both kids and adults need role models, it's especially important for children. (1/2)

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

@KhaiPhi3 In my own response to this prompt, I also emphasized the significance of adaptability. Your list of important qualities really makes me realize just how many traits a digital leader needs to succeed.

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

@NickRoesch6 Agreed! There definitely isn't room for quitters when it comes to leadership. Especially, in the digital world. Typically, it takes a while for people to gain traction and build an audience no matter the platform.

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

As we discussed in a previous class, a digital leader should be able to adapt to rapid technological changes. They should be innovative so they can identify new opportunities. And they should have strong problem-solving skills to overcome any difficulties #LIDCSU23

@RandomBingley @jimle Hi Rachel,
I like that you picked a leader that is involved in the arts. Not that content creators aren't artistically inclined, but I think picking someone with a background in animation really stands out. Will definitely need to check out his work!

[leah b @leahdbriggs]

@SabrinaBurnsPro Hi Sabrina,
I was not previously familiar with her work, but now I will definitely have to check out her channel. I think raising awareness for LGBTQ issues is very important and it's great that she is able to contribute.
