Activism Tumblr Quotes

Millennials (aka Generation Y) are great at social media (Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter,Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, Snapchat, Pinterest, YouTube, Vimeo, and Periscope) but lack time tested social skills ( patience, humility, active listening, respect for parents, teachers, elderly)

Activism has its own overcoming myth. You enter some activist space, Tumblr, a campus group, your neighborhood cultural center. You’re expected to make mistakes, but to eventually never mess up anyone’s pronoun, ever, to never accidentally use the wrong vocabulary, regardless of how educated you are, self-educated or formally. You’re expected to be on this linear progression of no longer making mistakes once you are politically conscious, radical, or involved enough. And if you do make a mistake (and things that are actually toxic or oppressive end up being conflated very easily with valid disagreements), it’s evidence there’s something deeply wrong with your character regardless of how you handle it, whether you try to be accountable, or whether you work to not repeat that harm again.

A warm soak can wash away life’s worries and soothe an active mind. Choose self-care.

Tips for Facebook These tips are equally valid for Twitter, Tumblr, G+, and any other time-hungry Social Networking. Keep business and recreational separate. Run two profiles so you can demarcate the different activities. Business Social Networking fits in ‘Time-Out’. Personal Social Networking belongs in ‘Down-Time’ Keep your beliefs and prejudices away from your Profile. Be a good Digital Citizen.

I firmly believe that every person can gain from owning an active blog and that those who don’t will regret it. No matter the topic, a blog article is an asset and a part of your digital persona. The more content you put out there, the bigger your piece of the Internet becomes. So if you don’t have a blog then put this book down immediately. Go create a free Wordpress or Tumblr account and start creating content. If you care about your online presence at all, a blog is mandatory.

Throughout [this] book, I have drawn upon the insights and experiences of over three-hundred feminist fans to explicate how fannish and feminist modes of cultural consumption, production, and critique are increasingly converging, opening up informal, ordinary, and everyday spaces for young people, in particular although not exclusively, to engage with feminism. In doing so, I have emphasized that media fandom does not exist in a vacuum but is constituted by the same social, cultural, and political forces that have come to shape fourth-wave feminisms. In turn, the experiences documented throughout Feminist Fandom speak to the ways in which broader shifts within feminist practice, theory, and activism over the past decade have shaped and informed the social and cultural practices of feminist fandom.

New World of Big Channels We live in a world of new, massive platforms. There already are a large number of players in the market who reach anywhere between 100 million and 1 billion people. That is a distribution mechanism like none other in history – and that presents a huge opportunity for your app. Let’s have a look at some of them. In the search market there are well-known players such as Google, with massive worldwide reach; Baidu, which is the leading search engine in China; Yandex, which is the king of Russian search; and such engines as Yahoo! and Bing. All are optimised for desktop and mobile marketing. On the social level, Facebook has more than a billion active users and a very powerful mobile-advertising platform; Twitter has hundreds of millions of users and a growing mobile-advertising platform; Tencent QQ is the undisputed social leader in China with around a billion active users across its services as well; LinkedIn also provides a great platform to reach a professional audience with more than 200 million users. We already know about Apple’s App Store and Google Play, which provide massive reach as well. Getting featured on these sites is a massive boost to downloads, so using any means necessary to get featured will translate into downloads. Media channels such as video (YouTube), photos (Pinterest, Instagram) and blogs (Tumblr) are all proving to be reliable, high-volume user-acquisition channels. Your challenge will be to see how to make those channels convert to valuable users. Messaging platforms are not yet being widely used as user-acquisition channels for other apps, but, as they keep increasing their reach, this will be a monetisation for the likes of WhatsApp, Snapchat, WeChat (China), Line and even Skype. In terms of local advertising, it’s also worth exploring what you can do with players such as Groupon and Yelp, each of whom have more than 100 million users. Other channels to think about include Amazon (and its own app platform) and PayPal, which often partners with companies to help promote various apps and services. Players such as Alibaba, Rakuten, Sina, NHN, Yahoo! Japan and SoftBank are all potential distribution partners. SoftBank was integral to the adoption of the Clash of Clans app in Japan, and eventually bought the company behind it for over $1.5 billion.
