Before this week’s topic of “social media activism” was brought up in class on Monday, I had never sat down and actively considered it.

Hi everyone, and welcome back to my little slice of the internet! Today, let’s talk about my experience with Twitter. I am by no means ‘new’ to Twitter. I believe I got an account either at the very end of high school or the beginning of university. My use of Twitter quickly changed as I […]
