Sunflower Sister Blog

My friend Sydney has her own blog entitled "Sunflower Sister" in which she journals about health + wellness, travelling, arts + culture, and style. Over the years as she started to develop a serious following on Instagram she told me that she was going to start a blog so she could journal her experiences and I was so excited to read all about it. On her blog site, Syd discusses her own personal stories and reviews in depth with posts ranging anywhere from skincare brands/routines, how to plan an elopement, and even some information on which small businesses to support. I enjoy reading her blog so much, especially in her posts where she speaks on women's health and empowerment- emphasizing period support, miscarriages, and post natal products. Syd's website encourages light reading (with longer context) compared to media sharing networks like Instagram whereby most users do not include journal entries attached to their posts. 

Sydney has become quite the social media influencer over the past few years and her blog provides an opportunity for her to connect with her followers and close friends. I enjoy her blog as I find she has quality content and has really helped me try some new products that I wouldn't have ever come across (her discount codes also help haha) Like me, Syd is super against MLM's and pyramid schemes so she really does her research when she pairs up with a new company and recommends their products. Most of the time they are Canadian, cruelty free, and ethically sourced. You can subscribe to her blog so whenever she posts a new entry you will be notified via email, she also does this with her instagram following on her stories. "Sunflower Sister" is a great little site to browse on within the internet universe and I always look forward to her posts and seeing which new book to give a read or product to try out. If any of you are curious you can find the link to her blog below. Happy reading 💗

Technological Determinism in Eighth Grade

 The film Eighth Grade watched in class clearly demonstrates what Baym identifies as anxieties produced by the digital age. Technological determinism and its effects can be seen to influence Kayla's life as she struggles to navigate both her social relationships as well as her online persona. According to Baym, she states that technologies have an "imprinting" effect that transfers essential qualities onto their users and their individual psyches (Baym 29). An example of this effect is the way in which Kayla was imprinted by her social media profiles as she became adamant and eager to practice her virtual confidence in real life. Furthermore, throughout the film, it is evident that keeping up social media profiles is a norm being practiced by Kayla as well as her classmates. It is important to these kids that they are posting regularly and interacting with each other online. The effects of digital technology can be argued to be imprinted on these characters as their virtu...

International Podcasts on Youtube

Hello everyone in CS371! My name is Matthew Spina and I would like to focus my first blog post around a podcast I typically watch on Youtube called The Fellas . The U.K based podcast, hosted by Youtuber's Calfreezy and TheBurntChip, has been running for almost a year amassing over 350,000 subscribers. They primarily discuss ongoing pop culture moments happening around the world to their past life experiences while also inviting guest's onto the show to provide deeper insights into their lives. For example, these guests could range from fellow Youtuber's to watch collectors and comedians.  The Fellas  podcast is also available on multiple platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify providing listeners with the ability to both view and listen to their weekly episodes.       The Fellas podcast is a great example as to how social media and social life can be intertwined while providing the ability to connect humans on a global scale. A primary example of this ...

BLOG POST 3 - Seif Amer

  In class we discussed the concept of media assemblages or media ecologies which are a collection of forms and practices that facilitate a specific media environment. A media ecology can be understood and analyzed by the use of three distinct articulations.  The articulation of focus is #3, which focuses on how the medium is brought to life, and how it is spread through a culture, community or society to best deliver the message. This means taking advantage of spatio-temporal concepts of media distribution, creation and consumption. What this means is that by spreading the message in a creative manner using space-biased media in a time where there is no internet to facilitate virality, you maximize the potential for your message to reach as many people as possible. This is what Martin Luther did with his 95 Theses collection . A book that discussed Luther’s issues with the church selling indulgences to finance the building they were using, and as a result may be considered di...
