We are not money
We want privacy
If you hide your profile, pictures, block people, change your name etc.. then why don’t you leave ?
We love freedom
We are uncommon
We don’t want to be tracked
Have jealous girlfriends
Have stupid friends
We are nothing
We think out of the box
Life is too short to stay on FB
WE ARE GONNA LIVE FOREVER

text conversation turned RAP GAME
Me: Whats your nighty night looking like rapping like yous-a lookalike
Braden: There is this comedy event at the vapour lounge, wanna come?
Me: Thats dope, we can smoke dope, I'm A dope, you're gonna be the next pope!
Braden: Well call me Ratzinger and let's smoke some dope
Me: This might hafta become a rap depending on its scope
Braden: Nope nope nope. You'd have to tie all these texts together with some lyrical rope!
Me: Brutha I guess you have no experience with my kinda rope. It's made of funny things like shoestrings and hope.
Me: So either get lost or cope, cuz boy you about to slide down-a slippery slope!
Braden: You think I'ma just get pushed around, slide down and mope? I'ma climb right back up and wash yo mouth out with soap!
Braden: It's about time that you gave up all your shoestrings and hope, cuz nigga me and yo moms just eloped!
Me: Puhlease! dun call me nigga when you barely taupe (its a colour look it up). Its time to change it up cause this is an exhausted trope.
Me: I just hit a bowl so my rhymes will either get deeper, or weaker ... I am, but are you ready, mr anal receiver?
Me: I guess it takes time for you to compose your raps, but in the mean time i've been preparing for hella daps - cuz boy i've been setting some lyrical traps!
Braden: Ahaha you win!

De l'expérience du présent et du personnage
Dans notre société régit par Facebook et autres sites web 2.0, le terme “tissu social” a pris une importance considérable. Enfin, on pourrait plutôt dire qu’ont été portés à la vue du grand public des concepts séculaires comme “se construire un réseau”, “entrer en relation avec …”, “être présenté à …”. Ceux-ci existaient depuis...

Conversations about cultural (mis)appropriation...
Friend: I feel you hold an unrealistic standard to the world. We should be focusing on coming together, not tip toeing around each other's tulips. You should definitely honor cultures and there are venues for that, but you have to understand people are going to use and in some people's view 'exploit' the things they've seen and learned. Going around yelling at everyone who bumps into your cultural sensitivities is simply counterproductive and you will ultimately generate more conflict than you settle.
Me: I disagree with you. I've lived in a lot of very progressive towns, and you know what the defining feature of those places were? Lots and lots and lots of diversity, and lots of interaction within those diversities. When you live in a place where you can't help but get to know people who are vastly different than you - and when I say "get to know", I mean really and truly understand who they are and where they come from and what's important and meaningful to them - you become aware of "cultural sensitivities". And sometimes it's frustrating because you realize that there are just so, so, so many examples where people have been wronged or hurt or exploited because of someone else's carelessness or ignorance. But the only way we can truly fight carelessness and ignorance is by spreading awareness - by telling people we're hurt by something they do or engage in or wear. A really good example of this for me was when I met transgendered people in college. At first I was like, "What? Ladies who want to be men? WTF? What is this nonsense?". Then I started to talk to trans folks, get to know them, hear about what they went through, and how all of this pertains to the larger struggle for gender equality. It was hard because it meant I had to swallow my pride and backtrack on some hurtful things I'd thought and said. It was a big deal for me when I wrote my senior independent project on challenging gender equality. And I can say, honestly, that the only way I was able to come to that point was by talking to, engaging with, and listening to people whose struggles I didn't, at first, understand. In fact, a large chunk of my project was devoted to talking about how critical it was for marginalized groups to have allies, who were willing to listen to them and participate in dialogues with them and help bring their concerns to greater public light. That's how all social progress is made. You're right, we do have to bond together - but we have to bond together in recognizing that some people have concerns/struggles/issues that aren't ours, but that deeply affect them, and that deeply affect us all in our continual fight for equality.
