Methodologies V: Using and Analyzing Digital Media Sources
When dealing with social media platforms as spaces of activism these sites can be innovative, powerful, and fast-moving at best, and at its worst chaotic and unfocused. The line between these two distinctions is actually slighter than one might realize. This understanding of cyber activism became clearer when faced with the question “What is contemporary ‘blacktivism’ according to Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram?”
Being a avid user of the popular blogging platform, Tumblr, and as such well-versed in the language and etiquette of the site, I sought my answer through my dashboard. Tumblr is composed of a endless scroll, comparable to Facebook’s newsfeed, that displays every user you ‘follow”s posts that can consist of either a link, photo, video, mp3, or text file that can be organized by ‘tags’. Like Twitter, there is a give and take between control: you cannot control what users post, but you can control who you follow. You ultimately build up the queue of information displayed on your dashboard.
This rule of thumb on Tumblr already an issue in itself, as it’s not only necessary to have an account to view such information, but it also requires stock knowledge of which users promote social activism the most. Already in this way, Tumblr blacktivism is exclusive in the broader sense of the term. However because I am an established user of 5 years, this constraint only appeared in my thoughts after my study.
Taking into account the formatting and style of the website (and the advantage of 5 years of knowledge), I began my study of 30 minutes scrolling down my dashboard sure that out of my selected 500 some users one would surely post something under the activism tree. After about a minute of scrolling I saw a linked post that described the new case of Ebola in Liberia as an STD. The random post was one centered on awareness, not truly giving a solution to a possible rebirth of the Ebola crisis. And for a while this was the only post I saw. Because Tumblr is composed as a live feed, the minutes I scrolled down the dashboard before I encountered another post for social justice felt like eons.
It wasn’t until I encountered a post by a rather prominent Tumblr user in both the black and activist circles that my research progressed. This individual posted a series of inforgraphics that described the various levels of Israeli settlement on Palestinian territory, the fraught Palestinian citizenship across Israel and Palestine, and general problematic restriction of Palestinian people. The post was significantly informative as most portrayals of Palestine capitalize on the destruction of the Gaza Strip rather than the conditions that provide for this kind of environment, and the surrounding oppressions widespread through out the country. I then opened up another tab in my web browser to later peruse the user’s account, sure of the rich content in store, simultaneously still looking for another possible user to study. Right underneath their post Micdotcom, an active news source, posted GIFs of Porsha Olayiwola’s poem that criticizes the misogynoir latent in police brutality discourse and the general dismissal of the pain black women face at the hands of black men.
Having at least two users under my belt and just ten minutes left of study, I decided to quickly delve deeper into each site. The first user’s activism centered mostly on the personal: crowdfunding for a poor black transwoman, a black family nearing homelessness, and written text posts that criticize various tangents of their multiple jeopardies as a queer transman of color. The text posts all had a least a thousand ‘notes’, which consisted of either likes or ‘reblogs’ (when users repost the content to their blogs). Furthermore you could see a constant rapport developing on these text posts that pursued discourse or fermented friendships. On this given users page the queer community of color was strong and accounted for. Switching tabs to Micdotcom, the website served as a curated collection of black internet activism across platforms. Screenshots of tweets raising awareness against recent police brutalities (#JusticeforJason, #SayHerName to name a couple), gifs of award shows and videos, news clips, and original Tumblr user posts decorated the page. Micdotcom served as a hub of generalized activism rather than specific black communal activist space.
It is in this way that Tumblr both triumphs and fails as a platform for social change. On one hand the site is a space for endless possibilities that allow for news sources and user-created online ‘zines to provide a constant stream of information crucial for social justice. These carefully curated hubs of information are a great start for both users and visitors of Tumblr. One does not need membership to view or message the copious amount of blogs present on the site. However their existence does not necessitate the existence of black community on Tumblr, individual users do. One would need to follow both prominent and random bloggers in the black community on Tumblr. These bloggers, your chosen informants, brothers, and sisters dictate your involvement with blacktivism. They raise causes for “Black Tumblr” to rally against, to raise money for, or even formally petition against on “Change.org”. These bloggers can help you through your journey of understanding matrices of oppression in your daily life, as well as navigate questions of gender/sexual/racial identity through direct messages, text posts, photos and videos open for commentary…..provided that you follow them. In addition to this slight oversight black users cannot be streamlined in the fighting of antiblackness. Some users are a part of “Queer Tumblr” or “Transgender Tumblr”or the dreaded “Barbershop Tumblr” (a part of Tumblr which is characterized by pro-black homophobic misogynoiristic users). Various pockets of Tumblr wholesale ignore some oppressions, such as colorism, to maintain their privilege and membership to the black community simultaneously. Tumblr can be a place rife with the schisms that plague physical activist spaces.
Ethical issues aside, in this sort of research Tumblr even fails in organization. Like Twitter it employs the hashtag system to organize posts, in order to make searches easier for users and non-users, however unlike Twitter, these tags are hardly agreed upon and are used liberally. Users sometimes use the tag system to input their commentary to protect the aesthetic integrity of a post. This so-called ‘talking in the tags’ makes for a chaotic black hole of information that can only be retrieved if you search that particular blogger’s archive. Tumblr has the potential to be a mess of epic proportion.
Ultimately Tumblr as a space for cyber black activism continuously toes the line of innovation and chaos. The ample opportunity for commentary and grassroot movement give Tumblr the chance to make virtual spaces of social justice bleed into the real world. However this is constantly mired by the disorganization, petty squabbles between users, and randomization of posts that is present on the site.

that pushing the legislation through without a vote was “a denial of democracy… a total denial of what has been happening in the streets for several weeks The government has said the changes to pensions are essential to ensure the system is not overburdened and prevent it collapsing But many people, including union members, disagree and France has now seen more than two months of heated political debate and strikes over the issue สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
to be debated early next week Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally MPs in parliament, called the decision to push through the pension changes “a total failure for the government Police made dozens of arrests during the unrest at Place de la Concorde, not far from the parliament building Protests also took place on Friday in other French cities – notably Bordeaux, Toulon and Strasbourg “We won’t give up,” one demonstrator told AFP news agency. “There’s still hope that the reform can be revoked สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
clashed with police again in central Paris over the French government’s pension reforms Thousands of demonstrators lit fires and some threw firecrackers at police, who used tear gas to disperse them It is the second night of unrest since President Emmanuel Macron decided to push through the controversial reforms to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote No-confidence motions have been filed against his government in response The first was signed by independents and members of the left-wing Nupes coalition in parliament, while a second came from the far-right National Rally party สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
opposition activists have welcomed the announcement. Ivan Zhdanov, a close ally of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, has tweeted that it was “a symbolic step” but an important one Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed his thanks to Mr Khan and the ICC for their decision to press charges against “state evil สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
pointed out that nobody thought that Slobodan Milosevic, the Serbian leader who went on trial for war crimes in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s, would end up in The Hague to face justice “Those that feel that you can commit a crime in the daytime, and sleep well at night, should perhaps look at history,” Mr Khan said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said any of the court’s decisions were “null and void” and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev compared the warrant to toilet paper สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
Khan has said the warrants were “based upon forensic evidence, scrutiny and what’s been said by those two individuals” The court had initially considered keeping the arrest warrants a secret, but decided to make them public to try and stop further crimes being committed “Children can’t be treated as the spoils of war, they can’t be deported,” Mr Khan told the BBC “This type of crime doesn’t need one to be a lawyer, one needs to be a human being to know how egregious it is สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
on Friday, the ICC said it had reasonable grounds to believe Mr Putin committed the criminal acts directly, as well as working with others. It also accused him of failing to use his presidential powers to stop children being deported Analysis: Will Putin ever face a war crimes trial? Explainer: What war crimes is Russia accused of? Explainer: What is the International Criminal Court? Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, is also wanted by the ICC for the same crimes สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
said that, while the court also held no sway in the US, the issuing of the warrant “makes a very strong point” His administration had already “formally determined” that Russia had committed war crimes during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with Vice-President Kamala Harris saying in February that those involved would “be held to account” The United Nations also released a report earlier this week that found Moscow’s forced removal of Ukrainian children to areas under its control amounted to a war crime สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
that much will come of the move, as the ICC has no powers to arrest suspects without the co-operation of a country’s government Russia is not an ICC member country, meaning the court has no authority there However, it could affect Mr Putin in other ways, such as being unable to travel internationally. He could now be arrested if he sets foot in any of the court’s 123 member states Mr Putin is only the third president to be issued with an ICC arrest warrant ” สมัครเล่นบาคาร่า
Joe Biden has welcomed the International Criminal Court’s issuing of an arrest warrant against his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin The ICC accused President Putin of committing war crimes in Ukraine – something President Biden said the Russian leader had “clearly” done The claims focus on the unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia since Moscow’s invasion in 2022 Moscow has denied the allegations and denounced the warrants as “outrageous” สมัครบาคาร่า

비아그라(실데나필)는 남성의 발기부전 치료에 사용되는 약물입니다. 비아그라 자주 먹으면 의사의 감독 없이 정기적으로 비아그라를 복용하는 것은 권장되지 않으며 심각한 부작용을 일으킬 수 있다는 점에 유의해야 합니다.
의료 제공자의 지시에 따라 복용하는 경우 비아그라는 일반적으로 내약성이 우수하고 안전합니다. 비아그라를 복용하는 남성들이 보고하는 가장 흔한 부작용으로는 두통, 안면 홍조, 소화불량, 코막힘, 시력 변화(예: 시력에 푸른 색조가 나타나거나 파란색과 녹색을 구별하기 어려움)가 있습니다. 이러한 부작용은 보통 경미하거나 중등도이며 몇 시간 내에 사라집니다.
