Are Censorship Algorithms Changing TikTok’s Culture?

How social media users push back against the policing of speech — When I was a kid, my mother would speak in pig latin whenever she needed to have an adult conversation in front of my sister and me. Because I didn’t understand pig latin, I viewed these exchanges with childlike wonder, as a secret adult language or code that I could…

More of a Question than a Comment

Like most internet users, I have a love/hate relationship with online comments.

The Medium is the Messenger

Are you familiar with the phrase “The Medium is the Message”? Since using the Medium platform, I have been thinking a lot about the meaning of the word medium. From a mundane perspective, the term medium can be seen as an in-between or a conduit for information and data, but…

The Phenomenology of Algorithms

I love repeating numbers, from 11:11 to binary code, I am always thinking about the meaning behind what appears to be mundane. This usually leads down a few fun rabbit holes, one of which began as I was teaching Professor Anna Everett’s essay “The Revolution Will Be Digitized: Afrocentricity and…

The New Human Zoo: Digital Remediations of Reality TV and Reactionary Culture

Over a decade ago, in 2011, Ryan Murphy and company released the 4th season of the iconic series American Horror Story.
