Emoji Poem

Waste kills living things,

The smell of flowers, trees, fresh fruits, the site of animals,

Contributions of productions, stadiums, transportations,

No longer a nature’s planet



Office Hours This Week — and No Class Next Week

A reminder that I have extended Office Hours this week: Today (Thursday) from 12–2PM, and tomorrow (Friday) from 11AM–12PM.

As we discussed during class yesterday, there is NO CLASS on Monday, Dec 12.

Yesterday was our last, in-person class. (P.S. Everyone who asked for an extension until Dec 12 on their Final Portfolio received one.)

I will be available to you Online for questions or help.

Is Online Space REALLY Free?

Browsing Twitter, you scroll through the recommended feed when you stumble across a post that tickles your beliefs in the 5th dimension on all registered senses. Savoring this moment, you reacted and replied with an edited Donald Trump gif doing his in-place, handing-clapping dance, not thinking much besides it looks goofy with a chance of cringe. However, the next time you try to log onto Twitter, the account is locked, informing you of violating their rules and regulations. Their reasoning: posting offensive imagery that caused a fellow internet citizen to get their counseling on the dial and report misconduct. But all you did was post something so innocent. What’s with the termination of further online interactions and the determination from the supposed unsung hero to remove tramua-inducing stimuli?

Justifiably or not, online sites unjustly deprived numerous individuals of their ability to access the online circle space without their consent. What happened to us living in a free country? I believe there shouldn’t be any restrictions on what you can say on the internet. There aren’t black mirror-esque speech filters on what we can and can’t say. So why are there such implementations online?

I will have to pay for The Bachelorette…now what?

So I don’t get this series for free, and I am not so psyched to have to buy it. If you can steer me toward a season or an episode (it seems like there are a ton) so that I won’t be so lost, I would appreciate it.

btw: I was thinking about The Matrix being a romance. In it, they are always asking if Neo is “The One.” Well, aren’t we all going through life looking for “the one” for us?

Well, turns out I’m not alone, and that the sequel is all about…love? I don’t know; I may have to watch that, too. There are too many spoilers in my brief search on this.

Love, the search for it, ridiculously high expectations…all seem like a good theme, Jaqueline!
