As I said before, Angela Bassett's "Queen Mother" in Black Panther was my best visualization of Thena in the book. She isn't really brought up alot at the moment, but is still enslaved and not free yet so I would still characterize her as Queen Mother since she's been in a low place of loss, and hopefully will get out, just like in Black Panther.

The scariest thing about the film was the realization from the line that is "If you are not paying for the product, you are the product" as well as the ability for AI within all social spheres to be able to understand and use certain tendencies to adhere to our personalities and interests upon the social platform.
As a human, we can influence people on every level by restricting our time with our phones, and probably not put every single aspect/detail about ourselves on social media and let it be public and available for anyone and everyone to see. To begin a movement from which we begin to not use technology and phones as often, but refer back to our humanity and speaking with each other.

I think if cancel culture was alive and well in the 19th century as it is today, the public would've canceled Hiram! He was betrayed by Georgie, who made him think he could get him freedom, but tricked him and helped capture him. Since Hiram was captured for trying to flee slavery, he would've been the one to blame and be canceled in the public eyes, though he just wanted to be out of slavery. Maybe this reflects cancel culture and how when times get tough, people take a step back away from you and act as if they were never with you.

I thought the most interesting part of the reading to me, was the connection of mourning rituals and digital visibility between the killing of Martin Luther King and Malcolm Brown, 50 years apart. It described how the mourning of Dr. King was evident by a silent march through the streets of Memphis, and makeshift funerals all across the country. But with the death of Malcolm Brown, digital visibility made it evident that this ritual of mourning was not to be the same due to the widespread images of Malcolm Brown's body that lied there on the ground for four hours. Then anger turned against the police force that killed Malcolm, and Malcolm was the victim of this crime. I found it so interesting how the author describes that ,yes, these images ignited a social protest across the nation but that it also preserved and extended community bonds in a way.

In a way, I believe that a cultural effect that comes into play from the "serial, cumulative" way we present ourselves online is an assumption of race and culture in each person. As one begins to build a cumulative, serial practice of self-representation on their social media, others are doing so themselves and connections are being made between two people's similar interests or connections. Some other times, it doesn't even happen online, but is in person and that in person connection sometimes forces some to feel as if they have to portray themselves in a certain way online. As Rettburg describes on page 41, some people feel pressured to represent themselves on social media in a certain way due to the setting that they are in. I know I've felt pressured to continue certain dumb social media trends in middle school or post pictures or captions that portray me as a certain thing that I won't dive into. Sometimes these pressures end up affecting me in a positive way, making me proud to be Mexican or etc. etc. But there were also times, that I've felt shame about things I've posted because it was mainstream and I felt as if I needed to post it to fit in.

From what I heard in the podcast, this "moral high ground" begins from people I think who do the cancelling themselves to others. For example, if one were to begin to cancel a star celebrity for some old tweets or an action of their that was offending, with the digital media, there is lots of potential to build a support system from other social media users who feel the same way. Many things about social media, ESPECIALLY retweets or sharing, etc., are taken out of context and used against others. So I think this moral high ground begins with those who don't take context into certain aspect (at times), and then easily call someone out from behind a screen (which brings in a type of power dynamic in the canceller's head as if for that split second, their "moral high ground" lifts them up above others in society).

After doing this reading, I think I would side more with the social constructivist theory in the sense that I don't think that technology determines our society, it has a great impact, but it is not in control. It is the social actions of humans and interaction through the technology that gives way to change. Like the article said, technology has great influence, but is just a tool that was built by humans and needs human action in order to actually have an effect on society.

As I read the reading and learned about context collapse, I felt as if depending on the context of my situation and social media platform, I'm a very different person on each platform. This immediately reminded me of the meme of the three spidermen and how they point at each other, because people constantly refer or caption it as "My personalities coming together like..." and this is exactly how I am with my instagram profile, my twitter, and probably my LinkedIn too lol. They're not all the same, but they come together to make up Johan Garibay. Depending on what platform I am on, I will use a different personality to post and what I post because i have to be aware of my audiences in that space, and I think this meme was jsut perfect for it.

Some questions I had about the story so far is why Hiram's father chose him to live in the house because he must've known he was special child at some point with his great memory and intelligence. What was Master Walker's relationship to Hiram's mother? Was it just that Walker raped (unfortunately that happened often during slavery between masters and slaves) Hiram's mother? If that the case, one could guess that she wasn't the only one, and that he raped other women who bore him children. So then what was the reason of picking Hiram? If that's not the case, what was his relationship with her? If that's something I'm not to learn until later in the book, then so be it lol.

I think TikTok is a great example of individuals on social media creating and consuming each content, but more specifically I would set on "AirFryer" Tik-Tok lol. So I own an Air-Fryer (no big deal) and I love to use it with everything and anything. When I started, I had to look up air fryer recipes for food on TikTok to make the food and then I began to master that ability and I've been thinking about creating a whole account with my Air Fryer recipes. I think this is a great example of participatory culture for not only me, but literally everyone who posts and uses Air fryer Tik Tok (or any other subject of TikTok) because it's allowed me and others to work collaboratively and create more products while we use our own and others' products as well.

Before I began this reading, I thought all research of social media was done by just looking through social media. I had no clue about platforms like Storify, Wakelet, and Wavelet, and that they even existed. Obviously through these platforms, information was able to be stored much more organized and clean, allowing for the researchers (authors) to connect their research questions to the social media content more directly. The authors were then able to make the three themes mentioned on page 4 ": (1) assertions that Asian American identities are intersectional and diverse, (2) narratives of interdependency within Asian American communities as well as solidarity with other marginalized communities, and (3) using historical and contemporary critiques of systems of violence to imagine future possibilities." Wakelet became a critical platform for the authors to use that was easy to use, and easy to organize.

The hashtag I decided to write about was #MeToo . This hashtag has always been such a powerful one as it represents the Me Too movement that speaks against sexual abuse and sexual harassment of women. It's always been a safe place for women (but not limited to women) and all sexual abuse survivors to come in and share their story if they feel comfortable doing so, and feeling safe. I've seen it a lot on Twitter lately because AOC has just shared her experience about being a sexual assault survivor and her story has began to spread and inspire others to not feel blamed for being a victim, and I think she's very very brave for that. And not only her, but everyone who has shared their stories because it carries a lot of weight on the shoulders to hold it in (I can only imagine) and it takes all of one's strength to share it with others.

I think this image from the summer of 2020 during the BLM protests really personifies the Digital Recollections of the Past, especially with Dr. King. It reclaims his legacy as well as fighting the strategic amnesia, and really shows that BLM was founded due to the efforts of MLK and many other prominent black figures since then. They laid down the foundations for others to thrive today.

During yesterday's 2021 Presidential Election, I couldn't help but notice on twitter that most of the content was either about Trump leaving office, Bernie Sanders looking like he could've been anywhere else, and the outfits of our new VP, the new first Lady, and former First Lady. There should've been more focus on the fact that Kamala Harris is the first black female VP, the real important events of the day, and everything else that will go down in history books. But social media made the focus on the monochromatic outfits of the day as if all of these women made a group chat and decided to do it together. Social media is erasing or taking away the focus from the true history going on in this day. "But the past is neither stable nor objectively knowable. Remembering is not a process of simple recall, but one of reconstructing and reshaping the past. Our individual and collective recollections of the past do not exist fully formed in our minds; rather, they are fragments, which must be transformed into memories through social processes that are continuously unfolding and changing" (Florini 106).
