i finally left 2 week isolation! i went outside for a 2 hour walk the other day and (working theory) the outside has so much stuff that my brain was dealing with the overstimulation via headache for the next 2 days.

What I Just Finished Reading

Nothing.

What I'm Reading Now

Comics
No comics. :( I hope they come back soon.

The Digital Street, by Jeffrey Lane
Currently reading this for class. It explores the ways that urban youth of color behave on the physical street and the ways that intermingles and blends with their behavior on social media, or the "digital street". Lane is often in conversation with Elijah Anderson's Code on the Street, exploring the ways in which power actually manifests itself between youth, as well as who performs toughness online/offline and why. Lane is also often in conversation with danah boyd's It's Complicated, but more to the effect of realizing that the most vulnerable populations do not use social media in the ways that more often studied middle class and affluent teens are able to.

What I'm Reading Next

Finishing off The Digital Street and then the three books that came off of waitlist from the library that I can't read yet because I have an exam tomorrow.
