Hello! Midterm season already, eh? Here are my three favourite blogs with a short blurb about each one:
- Storytelling in the Digital Age (Assignment 1:3)
The reason I chose this blog is because I felt like it really helped me find my blogging “voice.” I really enjoyed my train of thought in this post and the examples I found about how Indigenous storytellers are finding new ways to communicate their cultures within this crazy digital age. - Familiar Discomfort (Assignment 2:4)
This blog post was a big moment for me as a Canadian citizen and a UBC student. I did not realize the extent of residential schools in this province–I knew of the atrocities that took place but had no idea that the last school closed so late. I touch on something I labelled as “familiar discomfort” in this blog post, which is an analysis of the inability to comprehend First Stories that I’m really proud of. - How F’s Came Into the World (Assignment 1:5)
I chose this blog post because of how light-hearted and fun it was to write. I feel like a lot of these blog posts revolve around the history of racism and discrimination against Indigenous people in Canada and, while I think that is incredibly important and fantastic to learn about, it was nice to kind of have fun with this blog post! I am a Screenwriting minor, and while this wasn’t screenwriting it is of the same thread and was a really nice, creative outlet.
