Julia remixed

Because of the technical difficulty I experienced with Davidson Domains last weekend, I was not able to post my flog. This flog is going to talk about my failures making the Remix hack. My remix focuses on comparing Luigi Mangione’s (proposed) sentence to the death penalty with the lack of the death penalty in other…

I’m finally up to date on my flogs, I apologize for having some late flogs but life has been crazy and I’ve finally got back on my feet. This week I am still having trouble coming up with ideas for the flog. I decided against doing the commentary on old diet culture vs. today’s diet…

I’m having a really hard time coming up with an idea for my next hack after it was released. I was thinking of doing a video comparing diet culture from the past to the more acceptable forms of diet culture today. Or, instead of diet culture, weight loss methods more broadly. There are plenty of…

I felt like both readings “worked” for me since I understood them easily. However, I would point out something that I didn’t remember in class about Huizinga’s piece.
